Amoy Street Fried Kway Teow

Located at the corner of the ground floor of Amoy Street Food Centre, this fried kway teow stall was one of the very few stalls that were open when I was there on a Sunday afternoon. Unable to resist the sinful fragrance of the fried kway teow, I decided to give it a try.


A plate of Amoy Street fried kway teow, which costs only $2.50, comes in a satisfactory portion topped with egg, sausage, cockles and pork lard. Sweet and savory, the kway teow is well-fried with a distinctive charred flavour that is further enhanced by the delightful aroma of pork lard. The fresh cockles, though small, are plentiful and tasty.

If you are passing by Shenton Way and craving for some delicious fried kway teow, come down to Amoy Street Food Centre and try it for yourself.

Boat Quay Wanton Mee

I remembered reading a blog post several months ago about the wanton mee on the second storey of Amoy Street Food Centre which has super long queues during lunch time and comes with extraordinary servings of wanton. But after I tried it, I was disappointed by the mediocre quality of the noodles and wanton.

Today I'm going to blog about another wanton mee on the ground storey of Amoy Street Food Centre which I felt is much more delicious.


I ordered a plate of wanton mee and a bowl of dumpling soup which cost only $3 in total. Coated with savory chilli sauce, the delicious noodles are flavorful and not overly dry or soggy. Rich with the sweet essence of anchovy, the mouthwatering soup comes with more than 10 dumplings which are delightfully tasty and tender.

In my opinion, Boat Quay wanton mee is not exceptionally outstanding. The chilli, the noodles and the dumplings are delicious but certainly not special. However I still feel that it is the better wanton mee in Amoy Street Food Centre and definitely worthwhile to give it a try.

Yuan Chun Famous Lor Mee

As its name suggests, Yuan Chun Famous Lor Mee is one of the famous lor mee in Singapore. Located on the second storey of Amoy Street Food Centre, this stall is well-known to have queues that are so long, it is almost impossible to have it during lunch time. My opportunity finally came when I went there on a Saturday afternoon at 2pm, a time when the queue was practically non-existent.

I ordered a bowl of $3 lor mee which comes with ngor hiang, braised meat and fried fish. The distinguishing factor of Yuan Chun lor mee lies in its mouthwatering gravy that gives every strand of noodle a thick coat of extraordinary flavour. I was initially disappointed when I found out that Yuan Chun lor mee does not come with chilli paste but I soon discovered why. The savory gravy complements the noodles so well, there is no need for any chilli paste.


Apart from the special gravy, the rest of the lor mee, including the ngor hiang, braised meat and fried fish, is sadly ordinary. The slices of ngor hiang are more plentiful than braised meat and fried fish, although I would prefer more of the latter two.

Nevertheless this is indeed one of the more tasty lor mee in Singapore. I would have rated it as the best if it had come with better ingredients eg shark meat nuggets.
