Char Kuey Teow Recipe

I first tasted this  popular Malaysian  rice noodle  recipe  at then Garden Café, the former coffee shop of Edsa Shangri-la Hotel, and since then, it has been one of my favorite rice  
noodle recipe .My  Uncle  Angel   who is a Sous Chef at that place taught me how to cook this  Southeast Asian origin rice noodle recipe  . It's very similar to  Hongkong's popular street hawker food "Char Siew rice noodles " which my kids also loves to eat when in Hongkong. 

It's  not complicated to cook this rice noodle recipe , you can add  different kinds of  seafoods, pork, chinese  sausage as you like or just stick with the basic pork,  chicken, shrimp and egg which what I  did for this recipe.
