Char Kway Teow

Greetings! Today’s blog post will be on Char Kway Teow – as stated in the title! Personally, I feel that char kway teow is one of the most famous food in Singapore. In today’s post, I will be recommending two of my favourite char kway teow stalls.

Char Kway Teow or 炒粿 is made from flat rice noodles and stir-fried with light and dark soy sauce, prawns, fishcake, cockles, bean sprouts, Chinese sausage and eggs. Traditionally, char kway teow is fried in pork lard to enhance the aroma.


The first stall that I will be recommending today is Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee.
Address:
Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee
Hong Lim Market and Food Centre
Blk 531A, Stall 02-17
Mon - Sat: 6am to 4.30pm
Closed Sun and Public Holidays


Many consider this stall’s char kway teow to be the best in Singapore. Reason why this char kway teow is so popular as compared to others? The secret is... the eggs! The stall owner said so himself that on average, each plate of char kway teow from his stall will get at least one and a half eggs, as compared to the usual one egg from other stalls. Also, the eggs from his stall are not cooked as much so it gives the char kway teow a more creamy texture. Sounds delicious? It sure is! 


The second stall that I will be recommending today is Hill Street Fried Kway Teow!
Address:

Hill Street Fried Kway Teow
Blk 16, Bedok South Road, #01-187
Opened for lunch till about 4pm. Then around 6pm till all he runs out of food.
Closed on Mondays


Honestly, I think all char kway teow fans need to try this at least once in their life! The unique selling point of this char kway teow is the way the stall owner cooks it! Instead of only using the ladle to fry the char kway teow like most stall owners do, this stall owner holds a ladle in his right hand and chopsticks in his left. Also, the stall owner spends a lot of time and effort in preparing the ingredients. For example, for each and every single beansprout, it has the head and tail removed – leaving only the best part of the beansprout. The lard bits are also crunchy, crispy and oh so savoury. It’s no wonder this stall’s char kway teow is also one of the best in Singapore!
