Today’s Simple Breakfast – Kampar Fried Noodles With Cockles And Bean Sprouts & Teh Tarik

What a great Sunday! I am glad that my tongue ulcer is 98% recovering. Phew, what a fright! While eating the Dried Oyster Porridge/Congee last night, I could still feel the pain. I was a bit upset, thinking why there’s still pain even though I felt nothing in the morning and afternoon.

What’s my breakfast on Sunday morning? The famous Kampar Char Kuey Teow ( Kampar Fried Noodles with Cockles and Bean Sprouts) and ‘Teh Tarik’.

Hubby and his friend went to the food court for their breakfast, but I was too lazy to follow. Too lazy because I go to the wet market, which is next to the food court, almost every day! So, Sunday is my OFF day from market or food stall.

Hubby bought the Char Kway Teow with Cockles and Bean Sprouts and ‘Teh Tarik’ for me.

You know, this Char Kuey Teow stall is very famous in Kampar and also Malaysia. Its Char Kuey Teow is fried the old-fashioned way, in a huge flattened wok on a charcoal stove.

Food fried using a charcoal stove always tastes better than that cooked using a gas stove, right?

Remember this guy, okay? Stall No.32. He is so famous that it’s easy to find a photo of him or his scrumptious Char Kuey Teow online.

One thing, though. He will tell you how long you need to wait for, half an hour or one hour. Then, it’s up to you whether you want to wait or you eat something else.

Speaking of ‘Teh Tarik’, I love it. I love it best if it’s with a few drops of coffee. In Cantonese, it’s called Teh Tik Kopi. Tik in Cantonese means drop.

When you are bored with ‘Teh Tarik’, try Teh Tik Kopi. The aroma of coffee adds taste to the plain ‘Teh Tarik’.

Why not just order Cham or mixed coffee and tea? Well, too kau or strong.
