Chiefeater Hedges Liang finds the asam laksa sold at a stall in Shang Wu Street Food better than some famous ones in Penang


Claypot Noodles, Street Food, Non-Halal
went with my brother and a friend. all 3 of us were not familiar with taiping at all so after the funeral service, for our lunch, we google for nearest foodcourt/hawkers centre and we got this - the 555 Hawker Centre (not updated), so we went there.
this hawkers centre is in one long row and at that time (past 12 noon), i notice serveral stalls were not opened. there is a chicken rice stall, nasi lemak, char koay kak, bah kut teh (with rice and noodles). there is a char koay teow/fried rice stall but it was not opened.
i order the claypot noodles from the bah kut teh stall. i notice later the broth was like the bah kut teh broth... and it was one of the best broth i have ever tasted. so very delicious. can feel the herbs and spices so much (thick). i lapped up all the soup - left the claypot dry!

really, one of the best broth i have ever tasted. the taste was so lingering... even an hour after eating it, i can still feel the taste in my mouth. no kidding! i like it so much, that's why i need to post about it. never tasted such good broth in penang.
i wonder if there are any people in taiping who knows of this stall?
then the 3 of decided to share the char koay kak. surprisingly the char koay kak was nice too but they were all cut int very small piece. i prefer bigger pieces... but never mind, the taste was good, good enough.

forgot to take photos of the two stalls. what a pity. anyway the claypot noodles, the chef was a man and helped by a lady, while the char koay kak was fried by an elderly lady.
just post because i find the claypot noodles broth so very delicious. oh ya, it was RM8.00, with added innards (or some called it offal?). i usually don't take innards but since i was thinking this comes in a soup and claypot and it was once in a while, ok to take them.
