Food For Thoughts . . .
Char Kway Teow. Now that's what I call a hawker dish. Forget your fancy pasta and
whatnot, this is the real deal. Wide, flat rice noodles, wok-fried with cockles, prawns,
Chinese sausage – you know, the good stuff. And don't forget the bean sprouts and Chinese
chives for that bit of crunch. But the key, the absolute key, is the "wok hei." That smoky,
charred flavour that comes from a hot wok and a skilled hawker. That's what separates the
good Char Kway Teow from the rest. A good Char Kway Teow, should be moist, each strand
of noodle coated in that savoury sweet caramel soy sauce with dashes of fish sauce and
some umami magic.
