What is Koay Teow Thng
Koay Teow Th'ng is a popular Penang hawker food of flat rice noodles cooked in clear soup and topped with slices of chicken meat, fish balls and slices of fish cakes. Some times minced pork is also added. This is garnished with garlic bits, fried pork fat and scallions. Koay Teow Th'ng is usually served with a condiment of sliced chilli in soy-vinegar, either the big, red chilli or the hotter small green chilli.
