The controversial Char Kway Teow, a cuisine that is a national pride for Malaysians and Singaporeans. While no one can authoritatively say which country’s version is better, everyone agrees that this sinful dish is worth savouring. The best Char Kway Teow combines big flavours, contrasting textures and charred smokiness –wide rice noodles fried with garlic, lard, Chinese sausage, prawns, fish cake, bean sprouts, and a concoction of sauces. Be sure to whisk in some eggs to make it extra moist!Explore More
Overwhelm your olfactory senses and taste buds with the Prawn Noodle Soup, a deceptively simple dish from Singapore and Malaysia.
