I am the biggest fan of the dark, wet gooey mess of lardy goodness known as char kway Teow served by the good folks from Outram Park CKT.

However, we have recently discovered a new competitor to Outram Park's throne. Like Outram Park, Lai Heng at Shunfu Mart serves the more "wet" version of CKT. Lai Heng's version is much sweeter and has less wokhei but it beats Outram Park handsdown in terms of value for money. For $3, you get a huge plate of CKT with generous portions of lup cheog and hum. They are also famous for their $1 mackeral otah which is also fresh and good.

I think that Outram Park is still the best in town for me. But Lai Heng runs them close especially since a $3 plate of Lai Heng's CKT is nearly twice the portion of Outram Park's $4 plate and comes with loads more ingredients. That combined with its proximity to home makes it a winner!
