I just had this yesterday with my economy rice! :-D
I love the sourness and spiciness of the soup. The one I had used leftover stewed duck’s legs. It was fantastic. I will be trying this out one of these days. only thing, I’ll be the only one eating it. Small small portion then. Thanks!

Hi Bee, bit late with this but this is very interesting. I’ve never come across this dish but it’s a great idea. I mean, I practice this in general anyway but this is a great solution to use up all the leftovers in a melting pot. YUMMY. I’m going to link to this in my blog. Thnx for the idea.

I reckon Kiam Chye Boey is a good trademark for typical Penangites wherever we are in this green planet, besides assam laksa & char koay teow. That is a surest dish my 2 daughters will adore everytime CNY is over. Just a suggestion, i usually add large onions to create the subtle sweetness they exude into the broth. I also add a couple of assam keping to the assam jawa. Each gives it’s own flavour, tanginess & zest. Many thanks RM for including this really really special Penang dish. Most of my Singaporean friends were amazed what Penangites can do to simple overnight leftover food, and sedap pulak.

It’s not possible to be indifferent to kiam chai boey bec it stimulates all your tastebuds. Just had them during CNY, and craving it again. I love it after a day when everything turns kinda mushy, and the flavours all come together. It’s the most deeply-satisfying soul food for me.
