Geylang Lor 29 Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee 936 East Coast Rd, Siglap 936 Food House (Map) 12pm – 9pm Mon
The late Alex was the son of the legendary, nicknamed “opium master” cha hae mee icon at Lor 29, Geylang back in the day. When his father passed on, he went sailing around the world and then came back to continue where he left off albeit in the Katong area, as his son in law now helms the wok and of course, the edge is still the stock they use, coupled with the charcoal fire he still insists on using till today. And his method, of frying the yellow and beehoon noodles thoroughly in that stock and then braising it covered with a wok lid, then with a second infusion of the stock, is the mojo here. The result is an overwhelming aroma of the fried and braised prawn stock noodles that are punctured with the aroma of the smokey wood fire. You can smell it, no kidding. His daughter Penny occasionally helms the wok with a close-to-daddy's consistency.
