Penang Delights 槟城小吃 @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

Been quite awhile since I've pop by Old Airport Road food centre for my meals. Surprised to find quite a few new stalls opened here, and one of them was this.

I've been to Penang Delights stall at Aljunied before (not sure if it is still there), and that time, brought my Penang friend to sample the Penang food there then. So I was surprised when I saw it has opened a new stall here, and decided to try it their Penang char kway teow ($5). The char kway teow comes in $3, $4 and $5.

There's not many people ordering when I was there. I found the uncle cooking there a bit inexperience or new it seems. He seems a bit slow though, cooking one order at a time. A couple before me ordered a char kway teow and prawn mee, and he prepared the order one by one. I guess a seasoned hawker would probably be able to multitask between the order?

Anyway, finally I got my char kway teow. For $5, the portion is decent compared to the other famous char kway teow stall. You quite quite a few decent size prawns. No cockles, no lup cheong, no slice fish cake, just prawns, bean sprout and egg, and of cos the kway teow. The char kway teow also comes with pieces of deep fried lard too, but then, they were not crispy though. Would have been much better if they were crispy. The kway teow is also slightly on the oily side too.

Another example to show how inexperience the uncle is, first, he dun use gloves, when he prepare the food (which is ok for me). But when he put the kway teow on the plate, there were some kway teow dangling there, and he use his bare hands to flick it on the plate, and yes, you probably guess it, he also use the same hands to give me the change.

Overall, if you overlook the points above, the kway teow is decent though I would say I prefer Penang Kitchen penang char kway teow though.
