As you may know from the last time we hung out, I love Char Kueh Teow, too. The best I've had is also at Penang, but the one I went to was on Washington St. in Chinatown, Boston.
Stupid vegitarian, Char Kueh Teow is for omnivores.

i can't believe that was the last time we hung out! seriously.

the best i've had is at the harvard square penang, but i hear that the chinatown penang is pretty much the same. the worse i've had is at tiger lily -- it didn't taste like anything.

omnivorous addendum:

if you eat meat, use less soy sauce and a large amount of fish sauce. add shrimp, squid, chinese sausage, and/or cockles, whatever they are.

I also had Char Kueh Teow at ma soba on Cambridge Street in Boston. It wasn't very good at all because they added little of the goodies (i.e. shrimp, squid) that I had come to expect. OK, this is making me have a HUGE craving...

i've never been to that ma soba, but the harvard square ma soba really sucked and then was replaced by finale.

mmmm thanks for the recipe. i wish i was more often in that area. i've only been to penang that one time.

are you still in delaware or wherever it was you were?

penang is DEFINITELY worth going to. the recipe works too, but they make it better than i could.

or there's my kitchen (Monterey)

I may take you up on that. :) I'll be in Monterey at least once before mid-July to visit friends at the Hopkins Marine Station, and I've never had char kway teow.

Oh, please do. The place in Milpitas is also quite excellent, and I would be glad to go there any time.
