Penang Koay Kark, often written as Char Koay Kark, is a popular Penang hawker food found in many hawker centres and coffee shops. It is rice cakes fried in thick black soy sauce, with eggs, bean sprouts and chye por (preserved vegetable bits). The bean sprouts and chye por add crunchiness to the rice cakes which caramelise in the black soy sauce. Chilli paste gives it some spiciness according to taste. Seafood such as prawns and squid rings are often added as well.
Char Koay Kark (1 May 2008)
Although Koay Kark appear very much like Char Koay Teow, there are noted differences. Unlike with Char Koay Teow, Koo Chye (chives) are rarely (or should I say, I've never seen it used) sprinkled over Koay Kark. The inclusion of prawns to Koay Kark is also not as common as with Char Koay Teow.
Ingredients of Koay Kark:
rice cakes
eggs
bean sprouts
chye por (preserved vegetable bits)
prawns (optional)
squid (optional)
chilli paste, as desired

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.
