Jaya Malaysian: Char Kway Teow, Sydney (13 August 2009)

Maritime Trade Towers, Level 3, Retail Courtyard

201 & 207 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000

Decent Char Factor

I've found it quite hard to find a good char kway teow in the city for lunch but Jaya Malaysian seems to get a decent charring from the wok to give the dish a bit of a smokey taste. The actual dish is not listed on the menu so I asked for a Malaysian style char kway teow. They knew it was going to need flat rice noodles and they asked me what I'd like in it so I chose chicken and prawn. I think next time I'd get some calamari added too. It's pretty good compared to the Malay-Chinese version which comes with Chinese sausage although Jaya have larger and more moist prawns included. Still no sign of a Char Kway Teow in Sydney which comes with blood cockles like back in Malaysia.
