Toa Payoh Lorong 5 hawker centre is a place for supper, with only a few stalls that starts their business in the morning. Song Kee Kway Teow Noodle soup is one of the very few stalls that start their business early.

Having been around for decades, many regulars will come by this stall in for their fish ball noodles.

I am amazed by how they are able to have the fish ball machines in a small stall. Do have a look when you are queuing up for their food.

I ordered my usual dry version of Mee Pok noodles. It came with 7 fish balls, priced at $4. They have the $3.50 portion as well which is suitable for someone who is not feeling too hungry.

The owner was very generous with the amount of pork lard and spring onions given in every bowl. It is not the “healthier choice” of course, but I like the way how the noodles were not too dry overall. Each mouthful were filled with the fragrance from the pork lard, which might be too rich for some depending on individual’s taste. In addition, the Chilli here is very worth mentioning as well. It was paired very well with the ketchup included. It will be better if the noodle can be served slightly harder as I felt it was a little over cooked in my opinion.

The Fish balls were bouncy and fresh. Every bite taken has had good texture and it makes you want to eat more.

What I like about Song Kee is the type of seasoning used for its noodle. It has lots of pork lard bits and fried shallots, which goes very well with the chilli base, giving a nice combination overall and definitely makes a fulfilling dinner / supper.

Chao Zhou Fishball Noodle started from pushcart back in 1968, founded by Mr. Lim Lee Seng. And you could not get them every day, one of the few stalls in Singapore that closed 3 days a week.

The queue at Chao Zhou Fishball Noodle was long and never ends, it was not because of the slow service, they prepared my order in under 2 minutes.

One of the owner was preparing the fishball.

A closer look of the fishballs, it was unusually big that you won't see it anywhere else. You can add fishball for 40 cents each if you think 5 fishballs is not enough for you.

Ordered Fishball Mee Pok Dry which comes with 5 huge golf size fish ball. Only for $3!

The dry version comes with a mixture of chilli and ketchup sauce, it was a really good balance of spiciness and sweetness. Noodles were tender and springy. I would love to have another bowl of it!

Another highlight is the handmade huge and bouncy fishball, before you try to eat it, use a spoon to scoop one of the fishball and shake the spoon, you could see how bouncy it really is! And their fishball does not have fishy smell unlike most of the fishball we had, I have really nothing to complain about. 

For $3 you get not only 5 fishballs, but with noodle! I will sure return again for it again!
