Koay Teow, Wan Tan and Chicken
Published by Foong at 9:11 am under Asian Food, Restaurants |
I don’t eat Koay Teow Th’ng a lot and if I have a choice, I’d much prefer the ‘kon loh’ version (with sauce and not soup). So, when I was taken to this shop to try their Koay Teow Th’ng I was quite apprehensive.
Luckily, they do have the kon loh Koay Teow so I ordered that. This restaurant is actually quite an old one that has been in business for decades. It is very famous in Butterworth (so I am told) for its Koay Teow and chicken and wan tan.
And it is no wonder too because the kon loh koay teow turned out really, really good! I even finished the whole plate. That is a big thing because I seldom finish a WHOLE plate of noodles / rice / any carbs (hey, I can’t eat so much plain carbs la, I have no intention of becoming obese within a year but that’s another story…)
I know it doesn’t look all that appetizing but trust me, the taste is much much better than it looks. The Koay Teow is ultra smooth and silky. The chicken is damn tender too! As for the wan tan (shrimp dumplings), those are wonderful bite-sized prawns wrapped in wan tan skin. The price is also quite reasonable.
This restaurant is located along Kampung Benggali which is off Jalan Telaga Air in Butteworth.
