Talk about wanting to live life coz life is so short. After so long, I actually bought and ate char kway teow. But then I chickened out. What do I mean by that? I did eat and I don't deny jthat but it was like just a few mouthful that don't even add up to half a pack even. It didn't look as good as the ones on tv or on the internet. It was rather dry and I urh...felt like throwing up after eating a few mouthfuls. Maybe it wasn't a good choice of place to buy but it wasn't a matter of place. Perhaps the ones on tv are more mouthwatering because of added ingredients that a 'halal' char kway teow just can't live up to. Those original chinese char kway teow are most probably tastier. I don't know if I want to have a go at it again but for now, I'll pass since shortly after that I experienced rather acute stomach pains. I don't know if part of it is guilt induced or what..haha.
Ok you are wondering what is the big freakin deal about eating char kway teow? It IS a big deal because I avoid kway teow or flattened rice noodle since the noodles itself is soaked in oil in order to not let it stick to each other. And then when they cook they add even more oil and fats in order to make it more 'wet' and I think I don't want to go on describing lest you give up the sinful food.
In case you have never heard of char kway teow, let me educate you :)
I still think where you buy from counts like as in whether you get a tasty one or a 'meh' one and I definitely got the latter one. I have a place in mind though as in where to get a good one though, you know me, I have not tasted from it yet. It will be a long while though. If you are willing to induldge in a calorie laden dish, make sure it's worth every single calorie at least.a
