Foodies, ask a group of Penangites where is the best Char Koay Teow and they’ll start an hour-long debate. Still, there’s no denial that the Siam Road Char Koay Teow crowns above all in terms of popularity, and taste above average as well. Despite MCO 2.0, business is still brisk for them, as many locals would patronise the uncle for a plate of sinful goodness.
The Wok Hei at Siam Road Char Koay Teow Still Strong Despite MCO 2.0:
The 79-year-old uncle, Tan Chooi Hong is still working his magic every day at the stall even with the implementation of MCO 2.0. He was recently described by BBC as the ‘Humble King of Noodles.’ The write-up referred to him as “one of the oldest char kway teow legends in Malaysia.” Not to mention he was also featured in the newly released BBC Travel’s “50 Reasons to Love the World in 2021”.
Despite all the fame, Uncle Tan still fires the wok on his own each day for two hours now, starting from noon before passing the wok spatula to his son. He has been doing what he loves for more than 60 years, which he said will continue on as long as his health permits.
While the queue is significantly shorter, business remains brisk at Siam Road Char Koay. Locals will patronise the stall to takeaway a good plate of Char Koay Teow. Uncle Tan has gained a number of loyal, local fans ever since he took over the family business.
Foodies, if you’re keen, pay Siam Road Char Koay a visit for plate of Char Koay Teow full of wok hei. They operate from 12 p.m.-6 p.m., and you know where to find them. That’s all, stay safe, have a great day ahead, and buh bye!
