Chai Chee Prawn Noodle

Previously whenever I had the craving for delicious prawn mee soup, I would travel all the way to the Eastern part of Singapore as there is none in the Northeast region where I live. Until I found Chai Chee Prawn Noodle in Kovan Food Centre located just beside Kovan MRT station.


A bowl of Chai Chee prawn mee soup, which is reasonably priced at $3, comes with fresh prawns, lean meat and fish cake. The flavorful soup is filled with the sweet essence of prawn and pork rib and with the addition of pork lard, further accentuates its remarkable fragrance.

Besides prawn noodle, Chai Chee also has pork rib prawn noodle at $4. This is certainly one of the more outstanding prawn mee soup in the heartlands.

Fu Kee Cartilage Ramen

Having tried several disappointing ramen from food centres and food courts, I finally found a praiseworthy ramen from Fu Kee at Kovan Food Centre.


I ordered the cartilage ramen which costs $4. Topped with juicy straw mushrooms and fleshy and tender pieces of well-marinated braised cartilage meat, the special ramen is indeed value-for-money. Concentrated with the delightful sweetness of pork ribs and carrot, the mouthwatering soup complements the smooth ramen really well.

One of the few ramen that leaves me wanting to return for more, Fu Kee also has delicious mutton soup which I will definitely try someday.

Lai Ji Fried Kway Teow

Having tried and blogged about almost all the famous fried kway teow in Singapore eg Hill Street fried kway teow at Bedok North, Outram fried kway teow at Hong Lim, Zion fried kway teow at Riverside, Apollo fried kway teow at Marine Parade and Newton Circus fried kway teow at Serangoon Gardens, I now look forward to trying the less-known neighborhood fried kway teow that are delicious and have the potential to become famous one day. Lai Ji fried kway teow at Kovan Food Centre is one of them.


A plate of Lai Ji fried kway teow which costs $3, comes in a satisfactory portion. Marvellously fried to a slightly wet consistency, the flavorful kway teow is coated with a layer of sweet and savory gravy. Enjoy the tasty kway teow with delightful servings of sausage, fish cake and fresh cockles.

Despite its impressive standard, Lai Ji's business does not seem as outstanding as expected. Perhaps Kovan Food Centre just has too many stalls with delicious food eg fish ball noodles, chicken rice, economic rice etc. Nevertheless don't miss this fantastic fried kway teow.
