Well after eating the char kway teow we promptly proceeded to cross the road to one of the top kway chap stalls in Penang. Oh my god, it was sooooo good. A bowl of square rice noodles cooked in pork/duck broth, topped off with a generous serving of pork offal, duck meat, braisedhard-boiled eggs, and my favourite - coagulated pigs' blood. I know it sounds really gross but I really like to eat coagulated blood and had been deprived for more than 15 years, ever since the Singapore authorities banned fresh pork and pork products from Malaysia. Real comfort food! While the noodles were not so refined and smooth, I still give this bowl top marks for its nostalgic flavour for me. A bowl sells for a mere RM5 (SGD 2.30).
