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.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
