Last weekend I went on a Char Kuey Teow hunt to establish a place where I can get my CKT fix when I need one. I usually get my fixes on weekends because that's the only time I can cheat and eat my favourite greasy, carbo-filled meals. I try to keep a strict diet during weekdays. Anyways, forget about the strict diet part and let me tell you about Robert's Char Kuey Teow.

Let me introduce to you... Robert! Robert is a super nice guy, polite and not grumpy unlike those vendors who tend to be rude when business is brisk. He graciously allowed me to be a paparazzi while he cooked up a storm on his wok.

And the end result...

As you can see, the prawns aren't tiny shrimps. He throws in
lap cheong for a tinge of sweetness and your CKT is served on a leaf. The
charred taste is there but not too overpowering as I know many who don't quite like too much
char in their Char Kuey Teow.
Robert's Char Kuey Teow will rock your socks off! It is one of the best Char Kuey Teows I have tasted in PJ. It beats the Penang Char Kuey Teow in SS2, Sea Park and Damansara Uptown.
However, I'd still have to say that the Char Kuey Teow in Penang and the Char Kuey Teow
bangku in Taiping is still the best around. Robert's one comes pretty close to matching those standards. With a price tag of RM 4.50 in PJ, I think it's worth every cent!

Robert's Char Kuey Teow is in Restoran Say Huat, 1083, Jalan 17/29, 46400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. It is situated opposite a huge open air car park.
Happy food hunting!
