A bowl of kway teow in steaming hot soup with chicken chunks in the mix is enough to fuel you up for the day. This smooth and slurping meal is generally found in Chinese restaurants and hawker stalls as well. You might just find yourself putting your lips to the side of the bowl and steadily tipping it over to leave no tracks behind.
