It’s been raining
pretty much the whole day since we got back from Minang Maimbau.
Brendan had a hankering for Char Kueh Teow, and this is one dish that’s not
readily available where we live. Seeing as Chuan Hupp is our default Chinese
food court when it comes to all things noodle, we made our way here this wet
and rainy night. In fact we’ve already covered this place here and here,
which is a clear testament of how much we adore this food court.

| we're back! |
It’s been a while since we’ve been here (the last time we were
here was in July) and we noticed that they’ve widened the dining area. Some of
the stalls that used to occupy the five-foot way have been moved to make way more
tables and chairs. We think the proprietors of the place must have noticed that
most diners preferred the five-foot way to the indoor seating area which can be
quite stifling from the heat of the sizzling woks, and can be almost sauna-like.

Brendan ordered the (what else?) 1Char Kueh Teow; Cat
tried the 2Wat Tan Hor while I ordered my firm favourite, the Beef Noodle
Soup.
1flat rice noodles stir-fried over very high heat with light and
dark soy sauce, chili, a small quantity of belachan, whole prawns, de-shelled
cockles, bean sprouts, chopped Chinese chives and egg
2also known as Char Hor Fun or Kong Fu Char depending on where
you’re from, flat noodles coated in thick and creamy egg-laden gravy

| Brendan ordered from this Uncle |
 |
| he absolutely loved his char kueh teow |
 |
| Cat ordered her dish here |
 |
| she was delighted with her wat tan hor |
 |
| as always, I come here |
 |
| and as always, I am never disappointed |
 |
| bon appetit |
 |
| the usual usual |
Hold up, hold up…
check this out!
 |
| a SECOND helping of char kueh teow? |
 |
| devilish, isn't he? |
We don’t know if it’s because
of the rain or whether he had a good workout earlier in the evening, but
Brendan had a second helping of his favourite Char Kueh Teow. And the damage? Even
with a second plate of Char Kueh Teow it still came to an incredibly inexpensive
sum of RM26.10 which includes herbal tea all round. Does this food court
represent the everyday food for the everyday man or what?
