Cathay Cafe Super Hokkien Mee
Prawn Mee, Street Food
- Under RM20 per pax
Chiefeater William WL Loo had the super hokkien mee at Cathay Cafe in Air Itam and loved the fat juicy prawns and intense chilli heat


Char Kuey Teow, Street Food
The Char Kuey Teow at Chow Yang Kopitiam was good. It’s one of the CKT that’s still fried by a local.

The flavor profile was solid, and the dish exhibited good wok hei. The taugeh was notably crunchy, adding a fresh texture to every bite. There were a few detractors: it was served without fried lard or a banana leaf base, and they included fish cakes, which might not suit the purists. However, purely on taste, it remains a very satisfying plate.

I also sampled the White Curry Mee. This was just decent, providing a standard bowl of noodles that didn’t quite reach the same level of impact as the CKT.

Char Kuey Teow (Small): RM9.00
White Curry Mee: RM10.00
Total: RM19.00
Average Spend: RM9.50 per pax
Score: 7.4/10
M – Meal Value
While the Curry Mee was unremarkable, the quality of the stir-fry and the presence of wok hei make the RM9 Char Kuey Teow a fair and affordable lunch option.
Score: 7.5/10
V – Venue & Vibes
Chow Yang Kopitiam is a clean and bustling neighborhood coffee shop. It is a no-frills environment.
Score: 7.0/10
X – X-Factor
The X-factor is the technical execution of the wok hei of the CKT. Even without the traditional “extras” like fried lard or banana leaf, the stall operator demonstrates a mastery of heat control that gives the noodles a good flavor.
Score: 7.8/10
