The fish eggs you are talking about could be mantis shrimp meat? I remember eating a char kuay teow from penang before and it came with mantis shrimp meat, and it looks similar to what you have there.
I’m from Singapore going to Penang soon alone. Actually I dun mind the small portion. The reason is I have list down at least 20 dishes to try. 1 dish like CKT if I wanna try a few stall how can I eat so much alone. So small portion is good for my case.
Had it twice before and I don't recall there having fish eggs. Are you sure that wasn't mantis shrimp that you were holding up, Alderic? Cuz they definitely use mantis shrimps and that's part of the reason for the price.
this is what I struggle with. next week's episode is probably one of the most well known char kway teow in penang and it tastes vastly different to this. who has the supposed authentic penang char kway teow taste.
is you last sentence: A)...... (a continuation. so and so...) who has the most authentic penang CKT or B) (Question)Who has the most authentic Penang CKT
seriously, bro. don't complain price is SGD5 for those prawns and fish eggs. think of price of standard BigMac and Starbucks. this is taste you won't forget, compared to the cardboard and brown water.
OMG.... just read the rest of the messages.... you are being murdered for fish eggs slash aka mantis shrimp... lol.... now you are tempting me to go Penang!!!... Penang CKT is a great series!! Your efforts to help the foodie community is by far the best in SG... fyi... though I joined many channels... yours is the only one I subscribed to cos as Tina Turner once said.... this channel is 'Simply the Best'.... and to any naysayers... THIS IS NOT A SPONSRED COMMENT!!! 😝😝😝
haha I'm grateful to have people to tell me when I'm wrong. although, I really should have done a little bit of studying before going down to the place. thank you so much for the support!!
I agree with u that these needs more noodles. But perhaps adding more noodles also means they need to add more sauce, chili and whatever other stuff to to keep up the taste without diluting it. The latter is also a common problem in Singapore when ordering more than 1 portion or the uncle is cooking multiple portions at one time but the sauces were lacking for such a portion....end up the plate of mee is bland.
Okay nobody mentioned this, so I'm going to give a heads up to everyone who is intending to try this. The aunty who takes your order actually dips her bare fingers into chilli sauce to do a marking on your plate to indicate your order. Clearly there are better ways to take order but I'm not sure why they ended up with this lol. If that doesn't bother you then their ckt is not too bad but there are many ckt in Penang that is equally good or even better!
Sorry to say, it's a BIG let down when I tried in July. Wok hei is average; cockles are the size of my pinkie nail and only 4 of them! The price is ridiculous at RM9 in Penang! Worst, I paid the premium of RM15, but the prawns are so-so size. Highly discouraged. Might as well pick any CKT stall, at least the price is fair.
The portion looks way more than the swee guan and ingredients is way better quality for its price... I cannot understand why you seems to know your stuff but ridicule at the price for its quality….
yeahhhh those are mantis shrimps not fish eggs... yikes.
oh well, it's been a good run. thanks for coming, unsubscribe button is to your top left 🫡
Are mantis shrimp supposed to be creamy?
To be fair, I never seen mantis shrimp in Singapore before cannot fault you for not recognizing it.
Wah bro you tell me to unsub means I must unsub
@@streen2000 I don't think so..? it's my first time eating it T_T
@@rocky171986 no hard feelings. gotta own my fk ups.

those "fish eggs" you referred look like mantis prawns...
It’s definitely mantis prawns
YES! Penang food is better after all 🤤 Portion in Penang is often a let down tbh, but taste-wise is unmatched! More Penang food review pls!😁

Yeaa that's true. I guess it's small for the locals, but tourists can try more variety of food. Have fun in Penang!
nah, didnt like it when i ate it a few years ago. Siam Road and McCalister Road CKT better.

Good as it may be. Importantly does it taste like penang char kway teow?

or
B) (Question)Who has the most authentic Penang CKT
@@gastroalchemy4499 sorry I meant it as a question haha. The ckts that I had in Penang tasted quite different to one another.
@@Alderic. oh dear, now you have challenged my long held premise that penang CKT does not vary much in strandard unlike Singapore CKT.
Win liao lor. U go penang, sg how fight? 😂
can one, I believe.
seriously, bro. don't complain price is SGD5 for those prawns and fish eggs. think of price of standard BigMac and Starbucks. this is taste you won't forget, compared to the cardboard and brown water.
Now that you've tried the real thing in Penang, would love it if you could find an equivalent in Singapore!
Good luck finding it…

if he can go to Penang, what's stopping Alderic coming to Medan or Jakarta?
I just need an excuse/ food to try.
No See Ham one arh?!
You actually don't even need to order the special one to appreciate how good their CKT is. Thought you might do that, lol.

Fish eggs?

Still prefer SG ckt with some yellow noodles in it.
Mantis shrimps are known to be high in mercury
哎哟喂！这是三十年前的乡下梹城正统炒粿条。现在还有人会炒！！🎉🎉🎉海鲜很贵了。。。

Waited 50mins for 2servings tho

it's definitely worth it. but personally, I think about serving a reasonable portion to feed someone before I think about price or taste.
