At the junction of Jalan Abd Hamid and Jalan Temiang in Seremban, at the corner of the row of food stalls along Jalan Temiang, you will see a yellow banner stating “wood fried koay teow” in Chinese. I was introduced to this place by Micol as she told me that its quite popular among the locals. It was about 10 plus almost 11pm then, there is no long queue but you can see the owner is frying non stop still and waiting time is about 5 minutes, not too bad.
A plate of the fried koay teow cooked with hot flaming wood fire cost RM3.00 per plate. Its a bit oily at first look, taste wise is alright but what makes this koay teow really nice are the clams (si hum) and good old crispy fried pork lards. The clams are not too raw, neither overcooked, just right. The koay teow is not too strong in taste but the pork lards make it just nice.
I don’t think this koay teow is for everyone, but for those whom like old school cooking, oily and crispy pork lards type, then this is the koay teow for you
