Penang Fried Keow Teow is a hawker stall favourite, it's also known as Char Kway Teow as well as other various forms and spellings.
Flat rice noodles are stir fried over a high heat with soy sauce, belacan, chilli, egg, prawn, cockles and beansprouts. Served with extra sambal belacan.
The Penang Fried Keow Teow at Penang Prawn Mee, Lido is well executed, you can tell the dish has been cooked at the all important high temperature by the lovely smokey taste of the noodles. Also for me the dish isn't too greasy which it can be at times. Ingredients are plentiful considering the price, just 5MYR, with plenty of prawn, cockles and egg.
Penang Prawn Mee was the Little Nibblers choice, again another famous hawker stall dish. Noodles come in a spicy soup broth with prawn, fishcake slice and pork slice. At first the belacan seems a little overpowering in this dish but soon subsides when the chilli kick comes through. Again this is were ours and local tastes differ, for us sometimes, belacan can be a little off putting.
Now as the shop has a chinese sign I asked the lady the name and she assured me it is called Penang Prawn Mee, I can only take her word for it! The shop is located at Lido Square Food Court on the corner furthest away from the daytime wet fish market.
Lido is packed most evenings with happy diners.
The Bill : 1x Penang Fried Keow Teow 5
