Char Kway Teow (SGD $3) @ Lai Heng Fried Kuay Teow & Cooked Food.
.
Now in the hands of the 4th generation since its founding just after World War II, they've been consistently serving a family-recipe wet savoury sweet version of char kway teow paired with otah(!).
.
Tossed with dark sweet soy sauce, gooey egg, and crisp bean sprouts, the kway teow / wide flat rice noodles and cylindrical yellow wheat noodles take on a moist slippery oily texture, with robust savoury sweet salty eggy flavour.
.
Garnished with tender fish cake, crisp chye sim / chinese flowering cabbage, juicy blood cockles, and chewy lup cheong / dried cured pork sausage, the glisterning plate is a greasy yet delicious mess.
.
Regulars seem to like pairing it with their SGD $1 otah grilled in banana leaf, which lends a spicy sweet kick.
Favourite char kway teow stall. Prices had gone up a little $3 and $4 portions now after the few months of renovations at shunfu. Seating has changed.
CKT still taste as good.
Just my thing. Taste is so subjective.
First time visit here and saw the long queue. We are undaunted and decided to join. Not disappointed at all as the queue moved quite fast because the char kway teow was fried in batches. We ordered $3 serving plus $1 for their otah. Generous with cockles. Well fried, not too dry or too wet, just nice. This place is recommended. We want to come back again to this market and explore further.
This is my favorite fried kwayteow. At only $2.50 or $3, the portion is big. I especially like the right dampness, which is not oily too. The taste is just right. I think it's about the sweet dark soy sauce they used.
The otah at $1 each is also just nice to go with the plate of kwayteow.
There's always a long queue during lunch hours. However, be assured the wait wouldn't be too long.
Came here based on the good reviews. Ordered a $4 portion and the serving size is average. But taste is pretty awesome.
