Red Hat Char Koay Teow @ Lorong Selamat, Penang

I definitely was not ambitious in my CKT hunt this time, infact I only had 1 on my list to track down. Red Hat's and how glad was I that there was not only no queue, the weather was within acceptable comfort limits. 

Spot the cafe with the CKT signage fronting the stall. 



Since I flew into the country, I had to go big or go home. RM 12.50 it had to be! 




I wish I could catch the old lady in action but turns out the younger man would be cooking us a storm instead. Lots of lard and frying over this well greased wok. Expectations were set high. 

Of all that I've eaten, this definitely tops the list for wok hei, lard and the amazing bit about it is - it hardly tastes oily! So satisfying too with those large curled up prawns, I wish he'd go easier on the bicarbonate.
