Char Koay Kak and Koay Teow Thng Lunch in Chung Ling Canteen
Jun 19th, 2008 by Nicholas Chan
I stayed back after school today and I had my lunch in my school canteen today. I budget tight recently as I have been shopping a lot, so I have to reduce eating more junk food in school like nuggets, hot dogs etc etc.
Usually, during lunch in school, I will order rice with 3 dishes at RM2 and add extra nuggets, fried eggs or wan tan for RM1. Then another glass of drinks for RM0.50.
Today, I took a change, I ordered the famous Koay Teow Thng for lunch at only RM1.20. Of course it’s not enough for a growing kid like me, I didn’t even plan to just eat only 1 food for lunch. RM1.20 consist only a little bit of ingredient, like 3 fish balls, a meat ball, rice flat noodle and a little bit of meat. Many people loves the koay teow thng, during recess time, the stall always has the longest line.
Another food I ate today was the Char Koay Kak, which is most probably define as fried rice cake, it’s like the famous char koay teow in Penang, it uses rice cake instead of flat rice noodle. I will never order the RM1.20 one because it doesn’t consist of an egg, just add a little bit of RM0.30, you will get an egg with that.
The weather was so hot today, I had finished my bottle of water before school dismisses. Then I bought myself a glass of syrup juice for only RM0.30. Still remember a few years back, it’s only RM0.20 per glass, but because of inflation, everything goes up.
