Actually, it's Char Kway Teow, which just means fried rice noodles - similar to the kind used in chow fun, mixed with the usual yellow egg noodles.
See 'Ono Kine Grindz for a lovely picture of Char Kway Teow.

Oh! I've had this in Singapore. It was a bit too much (greasy) for me, but the Singaporeans are all over it. Must be something you have to grow up with. It is good in small does, I thought. (Probably more if you're hung over!)
