Vegetarian Fried Kuey Teow

Everybody seems to recommend this, so how can I not oblige 😋 They’re right too — this is delicious! One of the nicest #charkwayteow I’ve had in the while… BUT 👇 It lacks #wokhei and as a #kuching lang who lived in #penang for 5 years raised on my Foochow aunt’s cooking & am at present also dating a #foochow that’s a non-negotiable 😂 The got the rest of the flavours right though. It’s got as good an #umami kick as #alliumfree food can get & the toppings are definitely creative. The cubed #tofu is a nice touch but the #oystermushroom strips are definitely a first time for me 🍄 The #taugeh and pinch of mustard greens are standard too 🤏 Remember to #droptheegg when ordering this because some patrons do prefer their meal with a touch of torment 🐣 I just prefer to keep my mine to myself. Oh, but the #cilipadi I had to add to this was as mild as ever too. Sorry @m1tch9i, perhaps looks can be deceiving 😉 #malaysianeats #kuehteow #kwayteow #kuayteow

This was the most recommended dish on google, so I had to try it! It truly was a bomb fried noodles! Probably one of the best noodle dishes I’ve had in a long time! The various grilled mushrooms were what really elevated it. It was somewhat reminiscent of a pad Thai, but with more developed flavours. #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease #noodlelover

Overall it is quite similar to other Fried kuay throw from other stalls. Make sure you guys inform the cook for vegetarian without egg as some customer like to have fried egg on top of their noodles

This vegan Char kway teow 炒粿條is packed with flavours and so full of “wok hei”!! Char kway teow is delish, flavourful and “energetic” The “boss” has been frying the char kway teow for over 40 years now in his little stall, and interestingly he is not vegan nor vegetarian. He was actually making the non vegan version for quite some time, until one day a vegetarian/vegan(unknown) “big boss” took over the whole cafeteria and remodelled it to a vegetarian eatery so he had to come up with this vegan version to stay in business at the same old spot. 💲7.5 small / 9 big portion

I'm in two minds really. On the plus side, this was delicious. They even used tofu cubes and oyster mushroom, which are both awesome. On the other hand, char kuey teow really isn't char kuey teow if it's not fried in lard. This was a childhood favourite of mine and often I'd really rather just forgo the whole thing entirely than get a vegetarian one and have to deal with the nostalgia #malaysianeats
