Midweek Lunchies with the Babes – Robert’s Char Kuey Teow, Say Huat, Sect 17, PJ
This is actually Part 2, since Part One is the FSF char siew we had a few weeks ago. I’m still in the process of unearthing the pics..which may be in my C,D, E, camera, or external HDD ;p
Anyhow, for this round of mid-week lunchies, we’ve got the memoir- babe with us.
We are out to sooth her poor soul after reading about her disappointing experience with the Jalan Batai’s Seng Lee Char Kuey Teow.
bangsar-babe came to the rescue with her recommendation of Robert’s Char Kuey Teow, in Say Huat Restaurant, Section 17, right in front of the make-shift morning market, which then becomes a parking lot at noon & further transforms into a food haven at night, with one of my favourite tong shui stall among all the hawker fare.
Now, I must say I love this area. I remember the short stint I had staying in Section 17, & it was the only place that I know to find food.
But this is Robert’s Char Kuey Teow is the first for me. As I trust bangsar-babe’s recommendations, I wasn’t too worried of getting disappointed.
And true enough, it wasn’t let down.
The chilli is the winning oomph!, and the all the necessary charred wok- fire aroma (wok -hei) was present.
Robert is an affable fellow who handles all orders patiently (no gruff, grumpy demeanor; a common trait in those hawkers whose business is too brisk for their own good). He speaks Hokkien too!
Man, I feel right at home 
Below: All the necessary ingredients for a good char kuey teow laid out. Cockles, chinese sausages, chives (kuchai), fresh bean sprouts (taugeh), springy prawns & loads of garlic fried with his own secret soy sauce brew.
Though sorely tempted to order a plate after helping myself to batch-fuls of bangsar-babe & memoirs-babe’s CKT, I stuck to my initial plan of trying the economy rice here.
Seriously I love my “chap fun” for lunch, and moreover when rif says the sweet & sour pork here is good.
Well..it was good. Which is why the picture is missing. Cos I finished it without realizing I forgot to take a pic! ;p
No worries, more visits to this outlet for lunch from now on. So I’ll save that for another post
Here’s another picture for you to drool over
So reasonably priced right? RM4.50 for a plate of this!
I was craving something sweet & cold too & was half-appeased with the ais kacang (ABC), RM2.50. Definitely not as good as the one in SS2 Wai Sik Kai – stall #41 as the sago wasn’t fresh & chewy.
I’m certainly having fun with our mid-week lunch trysts & this week’s chosen venue is Anuar’s Fish Head Curry in Bangsar! I can’t wait!
