Newton Circus Fried Kway Teow

Another famous fried kway teow in Singapore, this stall located at Serangoon Garden Food Centre received an impressive rating of 9/10 on The Green Book Best Food In Singapore Guide.

When I went there for dinner last weekend, I had to wait for half an hour before I got my kway teow even though it was self service and the queue was seemingly non-existent.


Well-complemented with a great variety of ingredients such as prawns, cockles and sotong, a plate of Newton Circus fried kway teow costs only $3 and is certainly value for money. Slightly wetter in consistency than the usual fried kway teow, the flavorful kway teow is thoroughly coated with a thick layer of savory gravy with subtle garlic aroma. If you are a seafood lover, you will be delighted to know that the delicious kway teow comes with 2 prawns, 2 slices of sotong and more than 5 cockles.

Newton Circus Fried Kway Teow is indeed sumptuous and would have been perfect if it is fried with more sweet sauce. While most people patronise Chomp Chomp Food Centre when they are at Serangoon Garden, hidden in the neighbouring food centre is an impressive fried kway teow that is very worthy of commendation.

River Valley Nasi Padang

When I went to Zion Riverside Food Centre for lunch last week, I happened to walk past this small restaurant packed with customers eating nasi padang. Only after searching on the Internet that I realised it is the famous River Valley Nasi Padang that is supposedly one of the best nasi padang in Singapore.

Nasi padang is an Indonesian dish of steamed rice served with a wide choice of meat and vegetable dishes ranging from fried chicken to curry vegetables.


When I went for lunch today, I was impressed by the great variety of dishes available. After much hesitation, I finally ordered a plate of plain rice with sambal goreng and curry chicken which cost $3.50 in total.

Sambal goreng is a mixed vegetable dish which consists of long beans, bean curd and tempeh fried with sambal chilli.

In my opinion, sambal goreng is the best dish to gauge the culinary standard of nasi padang and in this case, River Valley Nasi Padang passed with flying colours. Well-fried with a delightful kaleidoscope of flavours, the sambal goreng is indeed the best that I have tasted so far. The curry chicken is spicy and delicious with thick savory gravy that complements the plain rice really well.

It was indeed a sumptuous and satisfying lunch experience and I have to admit that River Valley Nasi Padang is the best nasi padang that I have tasted so far.

Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim Mee Pok

As the famous Jalan Tua Kong mee pok war raged along the streets of Siglap and Simpang Bedok, I read with interest as readers discussed about which is the original mee pok stall, who is the shifu (master), who are the disciples and who are the copycats. And when my friend mentioned that the noodles at one of the stalls (132 Mee Pok at 53 Upper East Coast Road) is better than Hong Mao, I knew that I just had to try it for myself.

Unfortunately when I visited 132 Mee Pok a few Tuesdays ago, it was closed for an extended Chinese New Year holiday. So I went to Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim Mee Pok at Simpang Bedok instead. Even though it was a Tuesday morning, Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim Mee Pok was packed with customers and I had to wait for half an hour before I got my noodles.


I ordered the $3 bowl of mee pok which comes with fishcake, minced meat, pork slices and fish balls. Well-cooked with a remarkably springy consistency, the delicious mee pok is coated with savory chilli sauce that accentuates its authentic flavour. Delightfully rich with fresh fish meat, the handmade fishballs are exceptionally tasty.

Although it was a fairly sumptuous breakfast, I must admit that I am not a mee pok fan and certainly not convinced that Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim is one of the best mee pok in Singapore.

Hai Kee Teochew Fried Kway Teow

If the rating of fried kway teow is based on how much fervency the kway teow is fried with, how late it starts business, how much egg is added or how big the cockles are, Hai Kee Teochew Fried Kway Teow would definitely come up top.

For this fried kway teow at Margaret Drive Food Centre starts selling only at 5pm, invariably with a long queue of customers. The man running the stall alone, fries the kway teow with so much vigor, it appears as if the wok may break into pieces anytime. A $3 plate of kway teow is fried with two eggs and ten huge cockles, it is impossible to find another that is more value-for-money.


Impressively fried with a distinctive charred aroma, the delicious kway teow is delightfully sweet and flavorful, coated with so much fried egg, it should be called fried egg kway teow. The exceptionally huge cockles are fresh and juicy, complementing the kway teow wonderfully.

As I mentioned earlier, this is one fried kway teow that truly deserves a high rating and is definitely worthwhile queuing up for.

71 Beef Hor Fun

This stall on the second storey of Golden Mile Food Centre sells a variety of Chinese cooked food eg seafood hor fun, beef hor fun, fried hokkien mee, mee goreng and fried rice. Yet it is named 71 Beef Hor Fun. I just could not help wondering if there is something special about its beef hor fun, hence I decided to give it a try.


A plate of beef hor fun costs only $3, though cheaper than Geylang Lor 9 and Bee Kia, comes in a reasonable and satisfactory portion. Well-fried with a distinct charred aroma, the delicious kway teow is thoroughly coated with flavorful gravy that is more salty and sweet than spicy compared with Geylang Lor 9 and Bee Kia. If you dislike the heavily tenderised beef of Geylang Lor 9, you will be delighted by 71's beef slices which are tough and tasty. The addition of fresh xiao bai cai complements the flavour and texture of the beef hor fun very well.

This is one beef hor fun that is both sumptuous and value for money. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Ya Kwang Da Pai Dang Crab Tang Hoon

Having read about the delicious $25 crab tang hoon at Geylang Lorong 37, I finally went there last month to try it for myself.

Worried that I might not be able to finish the $25 crab tang hoon all by myself, I tried to bargain for a smaller portion but unfortunately, there were no smaller crabs left. Nevertheless the boss was friendly, the service was efficient and I was served within 10 minutes after ordering.


The huge plate of crab tang hoon with thick savory gravy looks really mouthwatering and I just can't wait to finish taking pictures and start eating. Cooked in an extraordinary gravy that is exceptionally flavorful with the concentrated sweetness of crab, the irresistable tang hoon is smooth and delicate, absorbing the special gravy extremely well. The crab is remarkably fresh, delightfully sweet and fairly fleshy.

The secret of Ya Kwang Da Pai Dang Crab Tang Hoon lies in the wonderful combination of its fabulous tang hoon with its complementary gravy. However the problem with having tang hoon so fantastic that it can be eaten on its own, is that the crab, which accounts for the expensive price of the dish, tends to appear mediocre in comparison. Even though I have to admit that having the crab tang hoon was an experience no less than heavenly, I certainly loved the tang hoon much more than the crab and will probably think twice about spending $25 on the dish next time.

Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Noodle

Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Noodle was recommended by a fellow blogger Drew who described it as "the best so far". I did not try the one at Adam Road but instead the one at Zion Riverside Food Centre.


A bowl of $5 prawn mee comes with four big prawns and one piece of pork rib which is indeed value for money. Brewed with the concentrated essence of prawns and pork ribs, the mouthwatering soup is delightfully flavorful and complements the delicious noodles really well. The four full large prawns are fresh, fleshy and tasty and would have been perfect if they were de-shelled.

I agree with Drew that Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Noodle is one of most delicious prawn mee. In fact I would rank it as the top 3 prawn mee in Singapore along with Wah Kee and River South prawn noodles. Come down to Zion Riverside Food Centre and try it for yourself today.

Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee

I have read about the $3 fried hokkien mee at Golden Mile Food Centre that is always so excellently fried but comes in a portion so small it can be finished in a few mouthfuls. As a food enthusiast, quality is definitely more important than quantity hence I decided to try if Hainan Fried Hokkien Mee really lives up to its reputation.


When I went to Golden Mile Food Centre last month, I had to wait for 20 minutes before I got my noodles. My first impression of Hainan fried hokkien mee is that it is the dry version without any gravy. However the flavorful noodles are impressively fried with a characteristic charred fragrance. The savory sambal chilli accentuates the remarkable taste of the noodles, making every mouthful seem really irresistable. Although the fried hokkien mee comes with only a few small prawns and slices of sotong, it is so fantastic that it can be eaten without any ingredients.

Hainan is undoubtedly one of the best fried hokkien mee in Singapore. Even though its serving is rather small, it is still worthwhile to pay $3 for.

Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice

When I went to Margaret Drive Food Centre for lunch today, I had no difficulty finding Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice because almost everyone on the second storey was having it.


A plate of Sin Kee steamed chicken and a bowl of rice cost $4.40. Coated with irresistable chicken broth, every grain of rice is flavorful and fragrant. The delicious steamed chicken is extremely tender, tasty and fleshy but not overly greasy. The savory chilli sauce complements the rice and chicken very well, leaving a lingering spicy aftertaste on the taste buds.

Sin Kee is indeed one of the most sumptuous chicken rice in Singapore. No doubt it is really crowded during lunch time, the service is very prompt and satisfactory.

Tanjong Pagar Fried Kway Teow

Although I am a fried kway teow lover, I have not found the best fried kway teow in Singapore. Having reviewed and recommended the fried kway teow from Outram Park and Old Airport Road which I felt were very impressive, they were just lacking in that distinguishing factor.

I decided to try Tanjong Pagar Fried Kway Teow today, only because the famous nasi lemak beside it was sold out. Little did I expect it to be so delicious.


Tanjong Pagar fried kway teow uses the thinner version of kway teow which is more evenly coated with the gravy. The delicious kway teow is well-fried with the irresistable flavour of dark soya sauce and sweet sauce and the delightful aroma of pork lard. A $3 plate of fried kway teow is topped with abundant servings of cockles, I simply lost count of how many there were.

Just like the char kway teow at Outram Park and Old Airport Road, Tanjong Pagar fried kway teow is very sumptuous but just not the best in Singapore. Hence my search continues with the hope of finding the best fried kway teow in Singapore someday.

The Garden Slug

When my friends first mentioned about going to a new restaurant in Telok Kurau named The Garden Slug for dinner, I immediately rejected their suggestion. With a distasteful name like the Garden Slug, I doubt if the food can be anything fantastic. Several months later, I happened to read the excellent reviews of the food online and realised that it might be a mistake to write it off.


When we finally went there for dinner last weekend, I ordered the recommended ribeye steak which costs $18.90. Evenly grilled to a medium doneness and lightly topped with savory sauce, the mouthwatering steak is extremely tender and juicy, every bite exudes a flavorful taste and a smoky fragrance. I must admit that this is one of the most impressive steaks I have eaten in Singapore.


We also ordered the Wasuga chicken wings which were well-marinated and well-grilled and the pan-tossed mushrooms & zucchini which were delightful and appetizing.


Apart from the delicious food, the beautiful ambience was soothing and the efficient service was commendable. The Garden Slug is certainly the ideal restaurant for a relaxing meal with family and friends.

Jin Hua Fried Fish Soup

There are two types of fish soup in Singapore: the clear Teochew fish soup which comes with slices of fresh fish and the milky Cantonese fish soup which comes with pieces of fried fish. I usually prefer the former as I was skeptical about how milk can blend well with the taste of fish. I finally found the answer after I tried Jin Hua fried fish soup.

Located at Maxwell Food Centre, this stall is well-known to have long queues during lunch time. A bowl of Jin Hua fried fish soup, which comes with numerous pieces of fried fish, costs $4. The creamy soup is exceptionally mouthwatering with a kaleidoscope of flavours that blend so impeccably, ranging from the sweetness of milk to the saltiness of fish with a subtle tinge of ginger spiciness. The generous pieces of fried fish are tasty and fragrant, coated by a thick layer of savory soup.


Of all the Cantonese fish soup that I have tasted before, Jin Hua is the first in which the milk is able to blend so well with the flavour of the fish. Come down to Maxwell Food Centre and try it for yourself today.

Changi Lor 108 Fei Lao Seafood Hor Fun

Located at Joo Chiat Road in the midst of several famous tze char restaurants, this small restaurant is often overlooked. When I walked past it tonight, I noticed several people having seafood hor fun and decided to give it a try too.

As a plate of Fei Lao seafood hor fun costs $5, more expensive than in other tze char restaurants, I really had very high expectations in mind. Fortunately it did not disappoint.


Surrounded with savory gravy, the mouthwatering kway teow is spectacularly fried with an irresistable charred fragrance, I finished all of it at one go, mouthful after mouthful. Delightfully embellished with generous servings of fresh prawns, sotong, fish, lean meat and pig liver, this sumptuous hor fun is definitely worthwhile for its price.

This is undoubtedly one of the most delicious seafood hor fun in Singapore. If only the gravy is less oily and more flavorful, perhaps it would be the best.

Pandan Leaf Nasi Lemak

Having heard about the cheap and delicious nasi lemak in Tanjong Pagar Food Centre, I was disappointed to know that it was sold out when I went there for lunch a fortnight ago. Fortunately I had the opportunity to try Pandan Leaf Nasi Lemak when I was there today.


A plate of nasi lemak, which comes with pandan-flavored rice, a fried chicken drumstick, a slice of egg omelette and two pieces of otah, costs only $2.50. Colored light green with pandan flavoring, the fragrant rice is extremely tasty with the delightful aroma of coconut milk and is well-complemented by the impressive sambal chilli. The huge fried drumstick is exceptionally crispy, tender and finger-licking good. The otah is also savory and spicy.

Pandan Leaf Nasi Lemak is indeed fantastic and value-for-money. Please do not miss it if you are having lunch at Tanjong Pagar Food Centre but be prepared to queue.

The Old Stall Fried Hokkien Mee

Not to be mistaken for the prawn noodle soup stall in Amoy Street Food Centre with the same name, The Old Stall in Tanjong Pagar Food Centre sells fried hokkien mee. Run by a couple who are in their 70s, this stall must have been around for a very long time, hence its name.


I ordered a plate of $3 fried hokkien mee which comes in a reasonably satisfactory portion, served with fresh prawns, sotong and fish cake. Coated with an irresistable layer of savory gravy, the delicious noodles are more wet in consistency than the usual hokkien mee but not overly soggy. The novel use of chye sim complements the flavorful taste of the noodles. The chilli paste is sweet and spicy, accentuating the delightful fragrance of the noodles.

This is definitely more of the more outstanding fried hokkien mee in the City. Try it for yourself if you go to Tanjong Pagar Food Centre for lunch.

Bee Kia Beef Hor Fun

Having reviewed and recommended Bee Kia seafood hor fun as the best in Singapore, I received comments from some readers that its beef hor fun is even better. Some readers even commented that it is more delicious than the famous Geylang Lor 9 beef hor fun.


When I went there for lunch today, I ordered a plate of beef hor fun which costs $4, $1 less than Geylang Lor 9. Expertly fried with a distinctive charcoal aroma, the sumptuous kway teow is thoroughly coated with mouthwatering gravy that is filled with the flavorful essence of black beans, chilli paste and black pepper. Those who feel that Geylang Lor 9's beef is too overly tenderised will be delighted to taste the generous slices of beef that are tasty, well-marinated and tender to the right consistency.

After trying the beef hor fun from both Geylang Lor 9 and Bee Kia, I still like the one from Geylang Lor 9 better because its gravy is more savory and irresistable. Nevertheless I still feel that Bee Kia's seafood hor fun is the best in Singapore.

Khoon Kee Tasty Prawn Mee

Although I patronise Redhill Food Centre frequently, I did not notice this inconspicuous prawn mee stall until I saw it being featured on the Singapore Best Food Online Directory. After all, Khoon Kee sells both prawn mee soup and fried kway teow, it is hard to imagine how it can be good in either. Only after I tried its prawn mee last week that I realised I was very wrong. Its prawn noodle soup was very delicious, even better than Jalan Sultan and Whitley Road in my opinion.


A $3 bowl of Khoon Kee Tasty Prawn Mee comes with two big prawns and a piece of pork rib. The mouthwatering gravy is delightfully flavorful with the irresistable essence of seafood, complementing the tasty noodles really well. Extremely fresh and easily de-shelled, the large full prawns are fleshy and sweet. The pork rib is tender and well-marinated.

Khoon Kee Tasty Prawn Mee is indeed one of the less well-known but more impressive prawn noodles in Singapore. It is a definite must-try for all prawn mee lovers.

Soon Heng Lor Mee

Tanjong Pagar Food Centre is famous for its nasi lemak and lor mee. When I went there for lunch today, I was disappointed to find out that the nasi lemak was sold out but fortunately, the lor mee was still available.

After queuing for around 10 minutes, I got my $3 bowl of Soon Heng lor mee which comes with a generous variety of ingredients ranging from ngor hiang to fish cake, fish nuggets, deep fried wanton, braised meat and my favorite, braised egg. I seem to notice a trend that modern lor mee which contains fish nuggets, tend to omit the conventional braised egg but it is something I really look forward to when eating lor mee.


The savory gravy is sufficiently thick in consistency, giving the delicious noodles an irresistable coat of delightful flavour and yet not too sticky for the throat. The tasty ngor hiang, tender braised meat, deep fried fish nuggets and satisfying braised egg complement the noodles extremely well.

Certainly impressive and value-for-money, Soon Heng lor mee is definitely one of the best lor mee in the city.

Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Chicken Curry Noodle

I became a fan of curry noodle ever since I found Ah Heng Curry Chicken Noodles in Hong Lim Food Centre. Hence when I saw Hock Hai Chicken Curry Noodle in Maxwell Food Centre, I did not hesitate to give it a try. With fresh steamed chicken displayed in front of the stall and a huge pot of enticing curry gravy, I certainly had very high expectations of Hock Hai curry mee.


I ordered a $3 bowl of curry noodles which comes with several pieces of chicken, a piece of potato, a few slices of fish cake and some tau pok. Coating the noodles impressively, the delicious gravy is spicy and savory but somewhat deficient in the thickness of coconut milk. The steamed white chicken is fresh and tender but not as tasty as it appears on display.

For curry mee lovers who prefer curry gravy that is thick and rich in coconut flavour, Hock Hai curry mee may not appeal to you. But for those who prefer the gravy to be less concentrated and more healthy, do come down to Maxwell Food Centre and try Hock Hai Chicken Curry Noodle today.

Nam Sing Fried Hokkien Mee

There are two peculiar features about Nam Sing Fried Hokkien Mee in Old Airport Road Food Centre. First is its irregular opening hours as it seems to be always closed when I was there in the late afternoons and evenings. Secondly, it does not use sambal chilli. Upon hearing this, hokkien mee lovers like me will invariably exclaim, "How can fried hokkien mee taste good without sambal chilli?!"


After reading its great reviews online, I finally had the first-hand experience of trying it when I went there for lunch today. Served on paper plate and topped with freshly cut red chilli, a plate of Nam Sing Fried Hokkien Mee costs $3. The magic of the mouthwatering noodles lies in the skilled way it is fried. Extraordinarily springy in consistency, the delicious noodles are exceptionally fragrant and flavorful, yet not overly soggy or oily. The freshly cut red chilli accentuates the outstanding flavour of the noodles, every mouthful is simply irresistable. Though complemented with fresh prawns and sotong, the noodles are so fantastic, you can eat it on its own hence there is no need for sambal chilli at all.

I totally agree with the reviews that Nam Sing is one of the best fried hokkien mee in Singapore. That probably explains why it can afford to have irregular opening hours and do without sambal chilli. Come and try it for yourself today.

Yi Liu Xiang Nasi Lemak

There are many stalls with long queues in Hainanese Village Food Centre at Lorong Ah Soo but the one with the longest queue is Yi Liu Xiang Nasi Lemak. I was certainly curious about what is so special about this nasi lemak that makes so many people want to queue for it, so I decided to give it a try today.


A plate of Yi Liu Xiang nasi lemak which comes with ikan bilis (fried anchovy), a slice of egg omelette and a fish fillet costs only $2.10. The delicious rice is reasonably flavorful with the distinctive aroma of coconut milk. The savory chilli sauce blends remarkably well with the fragrant rice. And the special ikan bilis is extremely crispy and tasty.

Although, in terms of quantity, Yi Liu Xiang nasi lemak is value for money, it pales in comparison with other famous nasi lemak eg Selera Rasa, International etc, in terms of quality.

Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow

Located in Old Airport Road Food Centre, this stall is best remembered for its delicious fried kway teow that is served on banana leaf. Often discouraged by the long queue, I finally had the chance to taste it today when I went there in the late afternoon.


For only $3, you get a plate of Lao Fu Zi fried kway teow that is absolutely mouthwatering. Extraordinarily well-fried with dark soya sauce and sweet sauce, the delicious kway teow is coated with a flavorful essence and a distinctive charred aroma, every mouthful is simply irresistable. If you are a shellfish lover like me, you will be delighted as the tasty noodles are complemented with generous servings of fresh cockles.

This is indeed one of the best fried kway teow in Singapore. Whether or not the banana leaf accentuates the flavour of the kway teow is debatable but this fried kway teow is no doubt very impressive.

Haji Kadir Mee Kuah

Located at the ground storey of Golden Mile Food Centre, Haji Kadir is well-known for its soup tulang (mutton bone marrow soup). Never a fan of soup tulang, I decided to try its mee kuah instead. Mee kuah is an Indian noodle dish that is characterised by its red gravy made from chilli paste, tomato puree and food colouring and is served with cabbage, peas, potato and a fried egg.


A bowl of Haji Kadir mee kuah costs $3.50, slightly more expensive than other mee kuah. Bright red in colour, the savory gravy is irresistably sweet and spicy with the concentrated essence of mutton and combined flavours of spices, complementing the delicious noodles. Unlike other mee kuah that come with stingy pieces of mutton, Haji Kadir mee kuah comes with generous servings of mutton that is extremely tasty and satisfactory. My only dissatisfaction is that the gravy is not spicy enough, lacking in the flammable ability to scorch the taste buds.

Nevertheless this is one of the more impressive mee kuah I have tasted in Singapore. Do come down to Golden Mile Food Centre and experience it for yourself today.

The Old Stall Famous Hokkien Prawn Mee

Just as there are two famous curry mee in Hong Lim Food Centre, there are two famous prawn noodles, both located on the second storey. The first, Ah Hui Big Prawn Noodles, failed to leave a lasting impression, so I went to try the second, The Old Stall Famous Hokkien Prawn Mee today.


I ordered the $5 bowl of prawn noodles with pork ribs. The first thing that catches my attention is the light-coloured soup which seems devoid of dark soya sauce. Even so, the unique soup is very flavorful with the sweet essence of fresh prawns and pork ribs. The delicious noodles are well-complemented by the tasty halved prawns and tender pork ribs.

This is one prawn mee that is not to be missed if you are having lunch at Hong Lim Food Centre. It may not be the best but it is certainly worth a try.
