Ah Leng Char Koay Teow has been frying one of George Town's most celebrated plates of char koay teow since 1979. The draw is the quality: fat, sweet prawns, an optional duck egg for extra richness, and the smoky wok hei that comes from frying small batches over a fierce flame. The 'special' piles on mantis prawn and jumbo prawns for the full experience. The daytime stall operates out of a coffee shop on Jalan Dato Keramat, while 'Ah Leng' himself cooks an evening shift at an Air Itam outlet.
