850 Char Koay Teow - Cecil Street Market ( NH )


He claims to sell 850 plates of CKT a day.
Talk about bragging rights !

  
The whole time I was sitting there, tok tok tok , ting ting tang tang, there he was banging away at his wok non stop. Stall covered in perpetual smoke.
Looks like a Genie rising from a witches cauldron. 

  
Cornered a local resident for info and she divulged that she much preferred his sister's cooking style when she originally helmed the place
When I asked, how'd he get so famous all of a sudden ? She just shrugged her shoulders and insisted that his wasn't as good as sis'.
  
Still we went ahead and ordered a plate. I mean, heck, he WAS frying non stop ok ?

   
Different. Very,very different.
Tasty even with a hint of fruit ( beats me )
Oilier than most Penang CKT, but not bad, can come back and eat again.

Location : afternoons inside Cecil Street Market

Directions : Opposite 1st Avenue Mall, Starbucks, walk across to the opposite side of the road, past a few lanes till you reach a small temple on the left. The market is next to it.
