Char Kway Teow (Fried Flat Rice Noodles) is how the basis knows it.
Hum Darn Fun (Cockle Egg Rice Noodles) is how nosotros Kamparians telephone phone it. FYI, Kampar is a pocket-size Chinese bulk town inward the solid reason of Perak.
I grew upwards non knowing what is Kway Teow. More thus know I didn't know its Cantonese translation every bit Guai Diu
I grew upwards eating Hor Fun or unopen to telephone phone it Sar Hor Fun, that's how the Cantonese telephone phone those apartment rice noodles.
I tin recollect how I laughed piece belongings my belly when my KLite Uni room mate called those noodles Guai Diu (like how you lot would pronounce 贵鸟in Cantonese）. She was only manifestly unlucky to induce got two Perakians every bit room mates too both of us were rolling on our beds laughing. We constitute the Cantonese translation of the Hokkien lift for this noodle to audio vulgar (Ghost F***).
If you lot watched the eating demo "Taste alongside Jason 阿贤人情味", you lot mightiness induce got come upwards across the episode where he visited Kampar too interviewed the best HDF inward Kampar. Jason stressed that it's called Hum Darn Fun too non Char Kway Teow there. LOL. I was laughing seeing him maxim HDF, HDF, HDF, every bit if he's trying to psycho himself.
In Kampar, CKT or HDF is cooked on a large apartment kind atomic release 26 wok. The noodles are fried inward large batches first, too thus finished upwards plate past times plate according to private needs. The version nosotros had inward Kampar is fried alongside eggs too cockles only. No Chinese sausages, no prawns. Just frugal eggs too cockles. Nothing fancy, but fifty-fifty alongside only these two poly peptide sources, the flavour is bursting alongside deliciousness due to the 'wok hei' (wok smell). HDF is dry out too fragrant whereas I notice CKT to hold upwards on the moister side.
So, whatever it is called, it's fragrant fried apartment rice noodles alongside eggs, cockles, prawns or sausages too lots of beansprouts, non forgetting the ultra important chinese chives.
Today I'm doing a CKT, since I'm non cooking this inward a large apartment kind atomic release 26 wok too the cockles are missing. The "Hum" isn't there, thus the HDF lift does non check this at all. But if you lot add together inward the Hum, too thus telephone phone it what you lot want, LOL. FYI, the Hum volition never be on my blog. I am allergic to Hum. If I eat whatever Hum, I volition hold upwards humming my 24-hour interval off inward the washroom. Seriously. I did that twice too I'm non going to run a peril myself alongside a tertiary time.
Am I confusing you? Good, whatever the respond is. Hahaha!
The method I'm using today is the agency that my friend, Kin Thong's mom exercise it. She learnt how to shaver CKT from her hotel chef boy inward law. I scout her exercise it too I larn from there. This method is to a greater extent than suitable for our dwelling household stoves which is less hot than commercial gas stoves. And you lot may think, only soy sauce for seasoning? Yes. Just that. The noodles derives its flavour to a greater extent than frequently than non from the cooking process. If you lot handled the oestrus well, it volition give the noodles the distinctive flavour, no demand of elaborate seasonings. But the soy sauce used must hold upwards expert on its own, non unopen to bland salty sauce.

Each time I create this, Mike keeps on quest me to educate CKT biz hither inward KK. Well, frankly. If e'er I desire to venture into nutrient biz, I won't desire to induce got a bakery or a fancy restaurant. I'd prefer to hold upwards a CKT hawker.
Reason: freedom.
Every element tin hold upwards kept too if I experience similar closing earlier, I only dump everything into the refrigerator too force downward the shutters. If I all of a precipitous experience similar working, I only pick out conduct hold of my materials from the refrigerator too force upwards my shutters. Easy peasy. No worries most leftovers.
Now, volition I e'er hold upwards a CKT hawker, Haha, I don't know.
