Ming Qin Charchol Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

This charcoal duck fried kuau teow very nice and got the "wok hei". Taste good and the duck fried egg is delicious. Price is reasonable. No need long queue and fast serving. Got plenty place to sit. Parking also ok either park inside or opposite just nearby. Just the prawn is abit small of compare those in the island but the taste is definitely good.

Craving some good char koay teow today! 🍜 That smoky, wok-fried goodness is just unmatched, especially with a generous amount of prawns. 🍤 I could eat this every single day and not get tired of it. It's truly a comfort food classic that always hits the spot. Definitely a must-try if you're in the neighborhood! 👍 #CharKoayTeow #NoodleLover #WokHei

Ming Qin Duck Egg Char Koay Teow is really worth trying. The char koay teow is fragrant and full of flavour, and the duck egg makes it richer and nicer. Portion is satisfying and cooked well. Overall, a good place if you are craving a tasty plate of char koay teow.

Duck Egg Char Koay Teow — a must-visit whenever in BM! We really missed their char koay teow, especially the amazing “wok hei” flavor that always brings back memories. We ordered the large portion with a poached egg. Although the wait was quite long due to the crowd, it was definitely worth it

Tried the takeaway version of Char Kuey Teow, and it did not disappoint. Added a duck poached egg and spicy mantis prawn meat. Both were flavourful and complemented the smoky, wok hei-rich noodles perfectly. Even packed to go, the taste remained solid. Definitely deserving of its Michelin Guide recognition.

One of Bukit Mertajam's Michelin award eateries, this place has been drawing crowds locally and outstation. It is located along Jalan Betek in an unassuming location, which looks more like a car respray workshop. This also means that when the eatery opens at 6pm, there is some space for parking. We were fortunate to arrive when the crowd has not built yet on a Wednesday evening. Ordered two plates of regular char koay teow with duck eggs, which came to RM9 (at the time of writing). The dishes came relatively quickly. The char koay teow does not look much like the typical Penang char koay teow as it is darker and not as spicy (even though we mentioned that we are OK with chilli). Visually, it does not look appetising, but surprisingly it tasted really good. It had lots of wok hei, presumably from the use of charcoal fire, and the pork lard pieces were crispy and delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the runny egg yolk added a different layer of umami compared to normal char koay teow. Portions were also adequate and we left feeling satisfied. You also have the option of adding side dishes, though we chose not to do so. A nice place to eat and will return as long as prices are maintained.

Location is wide open space with plenty of tables. There are 2 sections of seatings 1 is an air conditioned room with about 10 tables while the open space area has lots more tables. Ordering is simple, there is a small table with the menu with pictures displayed and prices. However everything is in Chinese but a simple point and showing your digits is sufficient unless you have special requirements like extra egg and sides, could be a challenge if you are not proficient in the Chinese language. Depending on the crowd, it could also take quite a while to be ready. The CKT is average, not too salty or oily. Decent wok hei with small prawns and teeny bits of lap cheong. The octopus however takes the limelight I would say. It was cooked perfectly with soy sauce and oyster sauce, served with some coriander which provides a crisps and sharp fresh contrast to the savoury dish. The sauce is salty and addictive to complement the tender octopus. It doesn’t matter which part you eat, they are all tender, not rubbery or chewy. The head of the octopus, kind of satisfyingly pops when chewed. The chilli sauce that accompanies it is delicious and enhances the taste a little bit to the already delicious dish. Overall it’s a good meal to try for these two dishes. A single toilet is available at the end of the air conditioned room. For these 2 dishes, octopus rm28 and Ckt rm10.

Separate additional menu for egg, clams, sausage? Surprised and couldn’t believe. RM4 for only a few clams? Beyond ripoff. Only RM1 differences between small and large portion? Obviously you will feel better to get the large portion but what about people who just want to eat less? Now now, I wouldn’t complain at all if the foods are tasty. Which they AREN’T at all!!!! And not to mention the waiting time. We waited an hour or maybe more. Which is till acceptable if it is tasty! Problem is it is NOT tasty and very felt ripoff!!!
