New Siam Road Char Koay Teow, Penang

This uncle has been around for ages but on a different business platform. He has a shop now and some handlers, young folks helping out in a new shop. Family members? Maybe profit-sharing? Or they employed the uncle for a fee? Hahaha, leave it to some detectives to find out.

By 12 noon you will have at least 10-20 folks queuing for their plate of goodness. Numbers were handed out. So to each his own, seated or standing and most fiddling their smart phones, looking busy while whiling their time away.

Its so nice to be wanted and waited on, uncle! Our plates came within 30mins and shall I say, well, what can I say? Its good and ddfinitely Penang. I can shout it from the rooftop but then is it superlative? You judge for yourself. It has the dry noodles which I like and the fire is sufficient to give it the CKT wok hie coating. Light on sauces which was good. This would not mask the fragrance of the noodles that came from the expert's hand.

The hype is still there. My friend who without fail would visit this uncle when he is in Penang was pining for his CKT since the closure and many thought he had retired for good. But who knows, he was coaxed (I thought) to come out of retirement for the last hurrah. Like a good boxer, there will always be the last fight. I hope he will continue to be blessed and we be blessed.
