Char Kway Teow is a popular Singaporean dish you can typically find at almost every hawker centre. However, some stalls simply just stand out from the rest and Meng Kee Fried Kway Teow is definitely one of them. Tucked away at Havelock Road Cooked Food Centre lies this hidden gem that you seriously must try!
Meng Kee Fried Kway Teow At Havelock Road
Meng Kee Fried Kway Teow has been in operation for over 40 years and has been passed down from one generation to the next. The stall was previously run by a father-and-daughter team before the daughter took over, completely running it by herself to this day. Unlike some stalls that cooked their char kway teow in batches, Meng Kee makes theirs one plate at a time to ensure the consistency is on point.
The Char Kway Teow ($4), is served with slices of lup cheong, cockles, egg, and golden nuggets of pork lard. Leaning toward the sweeter side, there is a still good balance of flavours with a pleasant savouriness and spice coming through at the end. As the spice and savouriness linger, each bite is incredibly addictive. Although there is smokiness from the wok hei, slightly more of it would have helped give a better balance of flavours.
As for the pork lard, it adds a beautiful layer of crunch and umami. However, a few more golden nuggets would have helped zhng up the dish. The cockles are plump and fresh, blending well with the flavours of the noodles.
Overall, it’s no surprise to see why they’re such a hit among their regulars. Hurry down and try it for yourself today!
