Sany’s Char Koay Teow, near Snake Temple, Penang

There are a few branches of Sany Char Koey Teow, I’ve only tried the one opposite USM at Sg. Dua, same row but the other end of KFC. It was long time ago when I was still studying… not sure if it’s even still there… It was also my first time eating malay char koey teow… to them, char koay teow is the wet with gravy version served with medium sized prawns. The normal dry fried koay teow would be the koay teow goreng.

sa1 This one is located facing the main road along the FTZ, walking distance from the snake temple.

Milo O’ kau! haha.. really kau…. cannot have too much of this…

sa11Look at the menu spread for fried rice! they have like over 30 types of fried rice… well, some is basically the same fried rice with different sides… but still.. the variety is really wide… for both fried rice and normal white rice with a dish…

sa5 The char koay teow… the basah “wet” version.. compared to a normal dried oily ones…

sa6I still somehow feel the ones I tasted previously at Sg Dua is better… but this one is actually not that bad la… the flavour is still as rich, prawns not that fresh though…

sa7 Not many actually enjoy eating this kind of fried koay teow… I remembered someone asked me.. and was like in awe… something like “have you seen malay char koay teow?? it’s wet one lerr” haha…

sa8Nasi goreng ayam kunyit ( fried rice with pan fried turmeric chicken)… my friend commented that it’s just so so… hmm… it’s okay… still got another 30 plus others to try… hahaha…

sa9 It’s basically normal fried rice, accompanied by pan fried turmeric chicken and vegetables… drier verison… no gravy, compared to padprik or masak merah…

Sotong goreng tepung.. deep fried tempura squid was not impressive…  when they served it, i thought it was deep fried cempedak fritters… the flour was not crispy… it was soft and practically coated the whole squid ring…. have i ever mentioned that the one behind Gold Coast Condo tasted really good?

So this was pretty much a disappointment… anyways, meal was just okay… might go back once in a while to try other fares offered in the menu :D
