Arguably the most famous char kway teow in all of Penang, Sister Wan's stall on Lorong Selamat draws tourists and locals alike for her fiery wok-fried flat noodles. The stall gained national fame through media coverage and word-of-mouth. Sister Wan fries each plate over fierce charcoal heat, producing an intense smoky wok hei flavour. The plate includes prawns, cockles, egg, bean sprouts, and chives. Expect a significant wait during peak hours - the stall is no secret.
