Lai Heng Fried Koay Teow (來興炒粿條) - One of the most underrated food!

ShunFu Mart Food Centre honestly is not a destination for lots of good food, it was built in 1980’s, the Market and Food Centre has become a little run down, but one particular stall attracted me to come all the way here is this Char Koay Teow (or Char Kuay Tiao).

The only place that serves Char Koay Teow with an Otah in this hawker centre. Finding this stall is easy, once you reach ShunFu Mart Food Centre, look for a queue, it’s this stall.

Every customer was greeted by this smiling uncle taking orders, as I was queuing and search about them, something surprised me, they are using prawn and chicken stock instead of water during their cooking of the char kuay teow.

The first impression I had of the fried kway Teow was very wet and oily. It was a generous amount of koay teow, fresh cockles, eggs, fish cakes with a handful of beansprouts and Chinese sausage. Be take note this was $2.50 portion.

When I've had the first bite, it was moist with strong fragrance yet not too much of wok hei and not overly greasy feeling. The healthy part is that no pork lard is added in but you could request for it if you like to have them. It was surprisingly good!
Good amount of cockles and Chinese sausages was given.

The Otah here is made in a bigger portion that is spiced just right. It was quite a unique to pair with Fried Kway Teow, but the Otah has the right texture with generous mackerel meat while not having too much of seafoody taste. I love it!

This is one of the best and one of the most underrated foods I've had in Singapore and you ask "Will I return?!" Confirm a YES when I craved for any Char Koay Teow! Fans of Char Koay Teow, you definitely do not want to miss this.
