Outram Park Fried Kway Teow
531A Upper Cross St #02-17, Hong Lim Mkt & Food Ctr (Map) 6am – 3pm Sun & PH
It's crazy to think these folks will offer you a plate of these gorgeously sinful noodles at 6 am, but there's already a line for their char kway teow. These Cantonese folks learned this dish from a Teochew master decades ago and never looked back. Theirs come roasty with full wok-hei (wok's breath), sweetish with a clear savoury touch, and the little cockles and their juices add another dimension of flavour to the dish. If these folks retire, then we would have lost a hawker legend as a new generation is not willing to take over the business. Often, these dishes are fried in small batches for the complex heat control, but they are the only ones we know, who do it in bigger batches yet still retain the attendant elements of a good cha kway teow. Absolute skill and necessity are the order of the game.
