Carnarvon Street Tiger Char Koay Teow

Tim at Tiger Char Koay Teow, Carnarvon Street (6 March 2016)


It's been a year since I last ate at Carnarvon Street Tiger Char Koay Teow, so my wife and I decided to revisit the stall. Considering how small the portion has been the last time we came, this time I ordered two big plates and specified "extra koay teow please".

I do not remember whether I specified duck egg or chicken egg, but when our order arrived, the price per plate was RM7.00. Later on, I checked the price list at their stall, and it states RM6.50 for big with duck egg. So I suppose I was charged RM7.00 per plate with RM0.50 for extra koay teow.

It is certainly more satisfying with extra koay teow. Otherwise I feel it is not enough for me. I do notice that the koay teow appears slightly thinner than before. Maybe they got their koay teow supplies from a different vendor. The prawns are also smaller now, compared to the last times that I visited here, when the prawns were huge. But other than that, I am fine with the taste. Having said that, I will continue to "shop around" by patronizing other char koay teow stalls, looking for options that are cheaper and with bigger prawns.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
