Stop by Ten Years for 'real' Malaysian dishes

Kak Tum

If you have been a victim of the “authentic Penang char kway teow" fraud, raise your hand. How many times have you ordered Penang char kway teow at an eatery in the Klang Valley, expecting the same taste and aroma as you’d get at a hawker stall on the island, only to be disappointed?

It is worse when you find out that the cook is a foreign worker who has never stepped foot on the island, let alone know how to fry the noodles Penang-style.
