Best Penang Char Koay Teow In Melbourne

Have tried many places in Melbourne claiming they serve Penang Char Koay Teow. Most don't meet our expectation until Lulu Char Koay Teow came into the picture one year ago. First tried them when they were still in a food court. Now they finally have their own premise in the famous Hardware Lane right in the centre of Melbourne.

We parked our car on the street about 200 Meyers away. As soon as we walked across the street, I picked up a familiar smell coming from the direction we are heading. The fragrantly burnt smell that we all crave for. The smell has already ticked the box even before we start eating it!

It was Christmas Day, most of the shops were closed except Lulu. Long queue started building up when we arrived.

The width of the noodle is specially ordered by the owner to make its texture as close as the Penang's version as possible. It was served on a banana leaf. Three large prawns on top. 

Finished up with a cup of Malaysian coffee, perfect!
