Char kway teow

Char Kway Teow is the first name to appear on the list of the most popular Singaporean street foods. It is a favorite dish of Singaporeans with a spicy flavor that is very suitable for cool and rainy days. This dish is often sold on food streets and other restaurants and eateries in the "Lion Island".

Originally prepared by farmers and fishermen using leftover materials, char kway teow was a cuisine for the underprivileged. They started selling it on the street after realizing how wonderful this combination was, and it gained popularity very fast.

Typically, ingredients for char kway teow include egg, cockles, bean sprouts, chives, shrimp, and Chinese sausage. Every component is deep-fried and covered in soy sauce; however, certain variations additionally include fried pork fat, garlic, shrimp paste, and perhaps even yellow wheat noodles. The blend of these many flavors has created an unforgettable, rich dish of Singaporean cuisine.

In recent years, Char Kway Teow has been improved in a healthier direction as chefs add more green vegetables and reduce fat. Not only does this make the dish healthier, but the greens and sprouts also give it a fresh and crunchy taste, increasing the quality of this ancient favorite. Char Kway Teow usually has a lot of oil, so you should eat it with more green vegetables to balance it. If you want to "eat hearty" then order more seafood to eat with it!

Every time you pass by a noodle shop, the sound of the pan crackling as the fat boils and the aroma emanating from the dish will stimulate all of the diners' senses, from sight to smell and hearing, and everything in between. That can happen even before visitors actually taste the dish.
