George Town - Sister Yao's Char Koay Kak

Char Koay Kak - stir-fried rice cake - was a dish that we'd been wanting to try. It turned out that one of the more famous sellers was on the same street as our hotel. We went by her spot a few times, but she only sells on certain days. Finally, she was there.

We each got an order, one with extra egg, and enjoyed it at a table in the restaurant she was operating in front of (they were serving up some pretty good looking char koay teow - a similar dish, but with rice noodles instead of rice cake).

Smoky and savory, with both crispy and soft textures. A great way to start the day.
