The Penang char koay kak is something that you can only find in Penang although some other places tried to replicate the authentic taste unsuccessfully.
Char Koay Kak is made of steamed rice cakes, cut into small bite-sized squares, then fried with lard and a mixture of dark and light soy sauces either in a wok or on a flat frying pan.
