Sin Wah CKT @ Pulau Tikus market hawker centre (night)

This fella with an excuse of a moustache is a confirmed Male Diva that can challenge the Lorong Selamat CKT red cap granny.
Lately he likes to shortcut by frying 3 to 5 plates at once because he likes to bury his face in the arms of the very seductive gossip,suicide and drama filled evening newspaper.


Mr.Diva's marketing slogan is "Take it or leave it"

1. He doesn't deliver if your table is too far away.You have to tapau it and wait there for your order while his assistant flashes a creepy grin at u with one leg up like a human grasshopper.

2. He doesn't want,like to or enjoys cooking CKT according to your specifications.And he doesn't hold back on showing you his displeasure at your supposedly brazen attitude
.
3. He likes to torture you with exaggerated estimated cooking timeframe needed before u receive your order.Most times it will arrive earlier.
It's a trick I tell you,to make it look like he truly cares about you going hungry on his watch.

4. He likes to rustle his newspapers loudly to send you the telepathic signal that you have just disturbed him from his favourite pastime and he is now putting it away to do you a big favour.
If you don't get his signal,he will resort to staring at you like a taller human coloured Ju-On with a whisper of a moustache due to puberty.What he gained slightly on his upper lip he lost the majority on his scalp.
When that fails he will go on a vocal offensive and brush you off.

5. Occasionally he too enjoys standing with one leg up like a grasshopper,maybe it is a relaxing yoga stance to deal with all of us bafflingly troublesome customers.

6. His price can range from customer to customer.If you are a man sometimes he charges you less,most times he overcharges me by 50 cents even though we ordered the same dish(unless of course both of you sit at the same table) cos he likes newspapers not women.

His assistant used to fry CKT opposite the police station.
Actually he took over from a famous lady that has stopped frying there.
Since the policemen starting jotting down car numbers from their balcony,business has dwindled and another chap took over but I haven't tried it till today.
I'm just making an excuse for him for besides giving people creepy grins when he was free,he looked like he was panicking while attempting to tame his wok.
Apparently a few of the ckt sellers in this area are related to each other.
Not that it makes any difference nowadays.The CKT in this area just ain't as good anymore.

The thing about Sin Wah is he gives you one tiny scrap of sotong in your CKT.Hence the different taste.If only he would stop frying so many plates at once and cut the attitude.
