Bought this youtiao from a neighbourhood stall...costs RM1 which is lower than market price (usually around RM1.30). I enjoyed eating this by dipping it into soy bean milk.
Unrelated to the above, the below CKT was bought from 2 different stalls - one with darker colour and bigger portion but cheaper price (RM6.50), the other with lighter colour, smaller portion but slightly higher price (RM7.00).
This CKT is one of my lunch on a WFH weekday, shared with my parents.
Meanwhile, i finally tried the Ayam Madu (Honey Chicken) from Buharry Briyani Bistro (delivered via FoodPanda)...
The size is equivalent to KR quarter chicken, tastewise on the sweet side, hence we scrapped away the 'madu'...
I don't think they use genuine 'madu', maybe it has been added with sugar.
not my type of chicken as i prefer savoury and spicy chicken.

Ya, if ever I eat youtiao it will be dipped in soya or in Bak Kut Teh. Where do u buy your soya for the youtiao? Both ckt look fine to me. Which one do you prefer? The dark or the light one? I try not to eat chicken cos it is my nothing else to eat moment then only eat chicken cos can easily buy chicken to eat. So I am ok to eat madu chicken, just a small piece, one mouthful will be cukop. You still full time wfh? Better cos safer now Sri rakyat apartments in Bukit Jalil emco cos every 4 persons living there, 1 is +ve so have to be careful moving about in that area.
The youtiao in our regular stall was selling at RM1 but now increased to RM1.10. I usually dip youtiao in kopi-O or bak kut teh soup. I haven't tried dipping it in soya bean milk. I too prefer savoury and spicy fried chicken.
I missed youtiao. Tried to make it at home but somehow not so successful. Maybe my technique was not right.
CKT, must have that wok hei, then it is yummy and nice.
My late grandmother loved youtiao. Since it is very oily, she used to squeeze it with tissue paper. LOL!
I love yau char kwai...dunked in cup of panas kopi-o kaw preferably (and sometimes in BKT soup too). I don't like it dipped in soya bean milk though...that's why I found it strange when I Love Yoo served it like that (like how the Hongkees like to eat them...do you like 'I Love Yoo'?). Between the two CKT, I definitely prefer the dark one coz it means the noodles got caramelised and is well charred for that smoky flavour that I adore. When I see a light coloured CKT, I'd think it was not fried long enough.
I love eating you tiao dipped in soya milk or coffee.
You win a gold medal for always finding good and cheap deals! Even a Youtiao for RM1 is a bargain which I have not seen now.
The most expensive Youtiao I ate costs about RM6 each and was 1 foot long! I bought it from the backlane of Nathan Road in Tsimshatsui. Honestly it was worth the price and crispy taste.
Beautiful blog
Please read my post
I also bet it's all sugar in ayam madu. Honey would be too expensive. I like having this dish once in a while.
I love youtiao with condensed milk or kaya, Many Malay stalls here selling that - they call it cakoi. Youred ckt and fried noodles both look good. You did not like the chicken? That looked good too!
