Char Kuey Teow

Adopted from Malaysianfood.net I found fresh rice noodles at Jin Long (on Bobby Jones Expressway) opposite Walmart. Yay. Still they came out hard and stuck together, so I had to presoak them in warm water but they became too soft afterwards. ARGH! I don't like prawns in my CKT, I don't like lap cheong (Chinese dried sausage) either ... yealar I was brought up on the delicate taste of just the sauce and vegetables alone. I couldn't find si ham (cockles) either so too bad.

With the dark soy sauce my mom sent me (Thank YOU!) the taste I achieved was almost akin to the kind of ckt you will find in KL. Then while I was happily chowing down (the hubby loves it too) the Baby Stewie woke up. So I was carrying him and took a piece of noodle and popped it into his mouth. He was chewing and chewing ... then I took another piece and before it even reached his mouth, he was leaning forward with his entire body and mouth open bigger than I have ever seen before!

This boy is MALAYSIAN guaranteed!

He passed the test, and chowed down on almost half my portion too. Of course I didn't give him the veges as he can't chew those yet, but the egg and noodles, wow ... he loved it so much. Darn the flash in this photo but look he's showing his pleasure at both being up past his bedtime AND having something new and delicious in his mouth.


He is saying "Thanks mum! And poh poh for the kicap pekat!"
