We all know that Penang is famed for Char Kuey Teow, but it’s just not reasonable to drive all the way there just to satisfy those cravings. Even though we try to look for the best replication of Penang Char Kuey Teow, it somehow just varies a little. But before you give up your search, you might want to try out Tiam Fatt Char Kuey Teow whose owner is a true Penangite. Operating for 13 years, Tiam Fatt Char Kuey Teow is a humble stall nestled in a coffee shop at Taman Melawati. The place is sure no five star restaurant, but instead expect your usual neighborhood coffee shop with decent number of tables and chairs. Not a place to dine for the ambience, the coffee shop however compensates by offering quite a number of good food.
If you’re indecisive and not choosy with your food, then definitely go for the Char Kuey Teow here as this is what most people came for. The plate of stir-fried flat noodle fried with prawns, fish cakes, Chinese sausages and chives make a decent plate of Char Kuey Teow. Tiam Fatt Char Kuey Teow perfects it the authentic Penang way by adding duck eggs to elevate the fragrant of the dish. Chip in a little more for their special which comes with three very large prawns.
Char Kuey Teow might be too sinful for your diet but you can always go for a bowl of Soup Pan Mee instead. You can also opt for some other alternative choices such as the Yam Cake and Hainan Chicken Rice here. The Char Siew had also received a number of positive comments.
For those who work or happen to pass by the area, definitely give this place a try. Who knows, it might just become your next favourite lunch spot.
