Char Kway Teow – Penang – Sister
As a follow to “What makes a good Char Kway Teow?”, I thought I’d show you what was considered by some as the best Char Kway Teow in Penang. It’s from a shop called Sister’s located on Macalister Road.
I doubt you can find anything even remotely like it anywhere else in the world. Penang is the hawker food capital of the world even compared with the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur! The little sprinkling of crab meat on the top really adds to the flavour. All photos were taken with my trusty Canon G11. The macro shots on this camera is incredible and although not SLR quality, it’s still rather impressive.

Looks YUMMM! Char kway teow with crab meat? Didn’t even know they existed :)
Did you like it?
Absolutely incredible.
The crab meat adds some sweetness to the dish.
Can you ask for a crab claw on top? Hehe.
SK, oh my, when you take shots that close – I can almost smell it!! Looks so good.
Im heading to KL end of next month – would you have any recommendations there?
Way too many good places!
Jalan Aloh in KL is a street full of good stuff.
BTW Read your blog and noticed you picked up a SLR. The prawn shot was with f2.8, 1/25 shutter speed and ISO 800 if you are interested.
I will def look up Jalan Aloh.
(Wonder if they have grilled stingray)
I’m still learning the photography terms but i can see that F2.8 is really good aperture! I’ll put that in my wish list (lens with massive apperture) so i can take glorious food shots! hehehehe.
A big aperture lets in a lot of light so it’s good for dark situations as well.
