Anticipated Traffic Chaos in Dataran Merdeka on Saturday; Advisory to Minimize Non-Essential Journeys
In the heart of Petaling Jaya Old Town, Ah Seong's Char Kway Teow has been a beloved food gem since 1988. Nestled within 92 Fatt Kee Kopitiam, this stall, operated by Tee Yoon Seong, has been a favourite among locals and visitors alike for its delectable and carefully prepared dishes.
The star of Ah Seong's Char Kway Teow is the cockles, which are celebrated for their milder flavour compared to those offered at other places. Tee Yoon Seong's mastery of the wok is evident in the way he handles these shellfish. Unlike many stalls that use frozen cockles, Ah Seong painstakingly shucks each one individually and adds them at the last minute to preserve their juiciness [1]. This method infuses the noodles with a fragrant flavour, avoiding the fishiness or blood smell often associated with cockles in curry dishes.
The char kway teow itself is a delightful medley of textures and flavours. Slippery, charred rice noodles are combined with crunchy bean sprouts, juicy prawns, barely cooked cockles, creamy duck egg, and chives. An egg can be added for an extra 50 sen, or a duck egg for an additional RM1 [1]. The dish is cooked over a very hot wok, ensuring a perfect balance of flavours.
Interestingly, Tee Yoon Seong's skills were tested by cooking the cockles two ways: one by dumping them on top and the other by frying them with the noodles. The result? The flavour of the cockles is more pronounced when they are fried with the noodles, creating a harmonious blend of flavours that elevates the dish [1].
Ah Seong's Char Kway Teow is open from 7am to 2pm, closed on Monday. So, if you find yourself in Petaling Jaya Old Town, be sure to drop by and experience the charm of this iconic stall for yourself. And remember, the regular portion of Tee's char kway teow costs RM8.50, the large portion RM9.50 (without egg) [1].
