watching this clip makes me hungry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nGKaRCCQNU one of my favourite local food wonder if we can still eat it 15/20 years later?

Is it fair to call for the challenge if Gordon has not even tasted the dish let alone understand the taste bug of the asian? If he come out with an ang mo style Char kway teow, people won't say it is nice. i dun really fancy this celebrity infamous chef, but to call for such challenge doesn't make sense. By the way is Hill Street CKT really that good, i still prefer Penang style.

Woohoo! Just saw that this stall moved to Crescent Mall Hawker Centre! The owner usually opens at 5pm at the old place, damn difficult for me to makan during lunch time. Now from 12noon onwards open till 2pm, then 5pm - 10pm (Mon - Sat) so got more choices during lunch .

Where to find good, yummy and authentic penange char kway teow in Spore? I found one at Blk 17 Upper Boon Keng Hawker Centre. The stall owner Auntie is very generous in the serving portion. Lots of bean sprout . Yummy. Despite the long que at lunch hour. She painstakenly whipped up every order separately. No mass cooking. Anywhere else???

Sounds crappy. I hope he kana fired in the wok and fried like kuay teow by hammer spatula. GE: George Yeo shares key election strategy SINGAPORE: Minister for Foreign Affairs George Yeo said the key strategy for the General Election is to have a good team that can relate to different segments of the population. Mr Yeo, who is also MP for Aljunied GRC, hinted on the makeup of his team for the constituency. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a community event, Mr Yeo indicated that one of them will be the Assistant Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress, Ong Ye Kung. Another is current MP for Marine Parade GRC Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim. "They're the existing five Members of Parliament who are going to stand again, I think. Plus Ong Ye Kung, who's been attached to us, and Faishal, who comes with Kaki Bukit which is a new addition to the GRC," Mr Yeo said. "Among these seven, five will stand as candidates for the PAP. That's my estimation." Mr Yeo added there's a possibility that one of his current MPs Yeo Guat Kwang may be leaving the Aljunied GRC team. "That's possible, because the portion which he is responsible for, most of it, is moving to Ang Mo Kio GRC," he said. "A part of it is going to Pasir Ris, and the landed property side remains with us. But the majority of the people he looked after will be moving to Ang Mo Kio, so it's entirely possible that he may move out. But we don't know for sure until Nomination Day." Mr Yeo also highlighted his plans to reach out to the residents - which he referred to as the "Living in Aljunied 10". He calls it "KUAY TEOW Hot and Nice", with each letter representing a theme: K for Kampong spirit, U for Upgrading, A for Ageing well, Y for Young families, T for Transportation, E for Eating and shopping, O for Our heritage and W for WIFI. The 'H' and 'N' in Hot and Nice stand for Healthy living and Nature, respectively. -CNA/wk Source: CNA

........... Oh nooooooooooooooooo, 'White Sportage' Tio Teow Jee, Boh Tio Lui ...... forget to buy I-bet & combination.........

From email forwarded to me : Means Testing - S'pore Char Kway Teow Style Sharing with you this Mean Testing Hokkien story which sounded very familiar........... Background of Story: Chia Hong Chu ('eat wind house' = bungalow); Goh Pang Sek (5-room design = HDB 5-room); and Sah Pang Sek (HDB 3-room). Maybe this is how the Govt(Gahmen) should explain their policy ...... S'pore Char Kway Teow Means Testing style Three friends went to their usual favourite char kway teow stall in the HDB food centre. They were Chia Hong Chu, Goh Pang Sek and Sah Pang Sek. The char kway teow stall was crowded, and there was a long queue. 'Ah Pui! Three plates, hah!' cried Chia Hong Chu. Sure, boss! Coming!' Within the next 2 minutes, the first plate of char kway teow came and was plonked in front of Chia Hong Chu. Where two more?' 'Wait lah! Coming! See long queue!' Chia Hong Chu tucked in his char kway teow. Half an hour passed, and the second plate came, plonked in front of Goh Pang Sek. 'Where my?' cried Sah Pang Sek. 'Coming lah!' said Ah Pui. Goh Pang Sek tucked in his plate, and another half an hour passed before the 3rd plate came, plonked right in front of Sah Pang Sek. 'Wah! Got to wait so long ah!' said Sah Pang Sek. 'Don't make noise, Mr Sah. You get same good char kway teow, best in Singapore !' When they have finished eating and chatting, Chia Hong Chu called out: 'Ah Pui! Collect money, ah!' Ah Pui came over. 'Sah Pang Sek, $3. Goh Pang Sek, $5. Chia Hong Chu, $10.' 'Wah! Robbery! I always pay $3. Why $10 now?' 'Ai yah, Chia Hong Chu. You don't read newspapers mere? You don't watch TV mare? This is gahmen food centre, heavily subsidised rent. Last time hah, everyone eat my char kway teow subsidized because cheap rent. Now upgrade liao. See new clean tables, new chairs, ceiling fans? Cost money, you know. And we have means test now. Ah Chia, you live in chia hong chu (holiday bungalow), and you pay full, no subsidy. $10. You don't like, don't eat here. You eat in hotel in Orchard Road .' 'But I get the same food!' 'No. You get 5 more harms , and you get served first, no need to wait. 5 harm service 1' 'What about me? Why $5 when I pay $3 last time?' cried Mr Goh. 'And I wait half hour!' 'Ah Goh. You also kinna means test. You live in goh pang sek (5 room flat), you wait only 30 minutes, I subsidise 50%. And you get 3 more harms -- 3 harm service.' 'Why I wait 1 hour and no extra harm? So damned hungry I can die waiting ah! And why no extra harm? Not nice with no extra harm.' 'Won't die lah. We give you same good food. No extra harm. No frills. But you wait. Wait and wait. You get your char kway teow, I make sure you don't die. You pay only $3. Heavily subsidised -- 70%. Because, Ah Sah, you live in sah pang sek (3 room flat)! You see, we have limited resources. Can only fry so many plates one night. Only so much manpower. So must ration, lah. Everything goes up -- petrol, cooking oil, gas, harm, kway teow, light, labour.... And we give better service -- 5 harm service, like Orchard Road 5 star service.'
