Continuing my hunt for Good Char Koey Teow in Butterworth, while walking around Apollo Market, I walk in to Shiang Thian Kopi Tiam, hunting for food early on morning, and notice this Char Koey Teow, and decided to give it a try.

This Kopi Tiam is located just to the right (as facing) of the Apollo Food Court.  and is to the back of the Old aunty Hokkian Mee (link)

My Opinion A Good Effort,  not the best but listen to your request, definitely will return for more,  The portion is definitely on the large side with similar pricing .

Note :  The Kopi Tiam have change hands, and may be renamed ........  

Old Aunty Hokkian Mee

Old Schools Hokkian Mee

there is this stall, Next to the Raja Uda Apollo Mkt Food Court, that has to be the cleanest food stall in Butterworth.  Every thing is spic and span.  

Manned by a Old Aunty, Dress all in White, just like a proper Hotel Chef,  this stall dish out affordable & delicious Hokkian Mee Soup. 

this stall should be the model of cleanliness!   

  

Apollo Market Char Koey Teow

Char Koey Teow @ Apollo Kopi Tiam, Apollo Market, Raja Uda 

Good Char Koey Teow in Butterworth is hard to find, finding the stall that will fry it the way I like it (half cook egg and blood cockles and very spicy), well let put it this way, I still head overseas to the island to get my fix occasionally.    

The CKT at Apollo Kopi Tiam, right at Apollo Market (soon to be renamed Geh Food Court) does it pretty well, manned by a elderly man who does both the running around and cooking. Open Morning for Breakfast.        

Notes Parking :  Street Parking prepare to walk, Hygiene : Food Court,  Pricing :  Butterworth Food 

Court Standard .   

    

Deep Fried Yam Dumpling @ a Street Stall Jalan Raja Uda. Apollo Market

Deep fried Yam Dumpling / Wu Kok

While walking along at Apollo Market (Note : to the right of the Main Building) I have notice this wu kok seller,  made fresh, and deep fried on the spot, each batch will get sold out in minutes.   So one fine day while walking by, there were a few dumpling left, so I grab!  Nice Tasty, Juicy Dumplings,  At only RM1.10 each,  Open Mornings ……

Wu Kok is a dumpling made from mash yam as a skin and stuffed with mince pork and green peas and deep fried.  Can also be found at Tim Sum Shops
