Hwa Heng Beef Noodle

These folks are second and third generation family members of the original legendary but now defunct Odeon Beef Noodle back in the day (opp the then Odeon Theatre). They have a different recipe from the other family members that set up the family chain business. Their dry version is the most popular and they slather a rich starch thickened beefy sauce over and then layer with some special dark soy sauce and crunchy bean sprouts atop. The noodles below (think beehoon or kway teow ideally) is smooth, soft and slurpy under that sauce. The cuts of soft beef slices, offal and balls just add to the whole sensation. Best to order half cooked or "pua sek" beef slices. The limey chilli sauce, laced with cincalok (fermented krill sauce) and with a wedge of lime squeezed in, does wonders to this meal. The soup version is preferably ordered with the slippery smooth kway teow. The soup is rich and dotted with cloudy bits of beef mineral and essence.
