The chef, a old man who is in his 70s, was very friendly when he took my order. By the way, his Char Kway Teow is priced at $5, $6, $7. As I am only ordering it for myself, I chose the $5 option, although in my mind, I thought that $5 was a little pricier for a plate of Char Kway Teow.
Here's a photo of his stall:
I also liked the ambience of Lau Pa Sat. It's set in a unique and vintage setting where you can see street signposts in the market itself, that pointed to different alley of Lau Pa Sat, where stalls lined up both side of the alley. Right smack in the centre of Lau Pa Sat is a stall selling drinks, desserts and fruits. Also, the ventilation had improved as it's more windy and airy now and there were many fans mounted at the top.
When the chef passed me the plate of Char Kway Teow, the first thing that wafted to my nose is the sweet and nice smell of the Char Kway Teow, that simply made my mouth salivated as I walked back to my table with my food. Another thing that struck me was that for the price of $5, which is the cheapest option available for Char Kway Teow, the serving portion for $5 was simply huge and I felt it's meant for 2 persons to share.

If you were to ask me what is the one thing that I dislike, I really can't find any to find fault with. But I would prefer if the chef uses larger size cockles instead of the small little cockles. As I am a fan of cockles and I think cockles go hand in hand with Char Kway Teow, hence bigger cockles will definitely improve my dining experience by another notch. Nonetheless, I still like the Char Kway Teow and I felt that I have a pleasant dining experience and would recommend my friends to try out his stall. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 as mediocre and 10 as very yummy, I would give the overall dining experience as a rating of 8.
