Outram Park Fried Kway Teow - Hong Lim Complex


Was told this place cooks one of the finer Fried(Char) Kway Teow here in Singapore. Located in the Hong Lim Complex, this place is now temporarily at the improvised Hawker center at Hong Lim Park. After numerous failed attempts of coming here and sadly the stall was closed. THey dont serve dinner and are closed on Sundays. Greeting you when you show up at their stall are 3 ladies asking what you want and where you are seated. So there is no visible queue , but the waiting time is at least 15-20 minutes if you are lucky. Soemtimes it can go close to half an hour during peak times.
Here is a plate of 3 dollar Kway Teow. Mixture of thick and thin noodles, tossed in a sweet savory sauce with lots of cockles and sliced cuttlefish cake and of course. LARD!!!:)
Not much egg though, but the dish was done every well. Would like it to be have more of a charred taste to it., but nevertheless, it was savory and delicious. Truly one of the finer Char Kway Teow in this little island.

Tuck Kee (Ipoh) San Ho Fun

>

I have heard legends about IPOH cuisine being the best cuisine in Malaysia.. but don’t tell that to the people from PENANG. Hahahah
Here in Singapore there are a few places offering Ipoh food and I chanced upon this place in Hong Lim with a very long queue.. so it must be good right? It is not that cheap to deserve a long queue so the other assumption would be it must be really good.
On the display window showed the rice noodles they used and pasted there are the wards they got and the pictures of the food they serve.



Ordered myself a 5.00SGD portion; it looked so good. With the prawns and crayfish and thick gravy And indeed it was good.
The prawn and crayfish was freshly cooked and tasted sweet… not dessert/candy sweet but savory sweet, The gravy just hugs each strand of ho fun and was also very nice. Truly one of the best Ho fun I have tasted here in Singapore
