The Beef House (Syed Alwi Road)

Recently went back to The Beef House to takeaway one of my favourite suan pan zi around! They’re still as good as I remember to be - soft textured with a great chew and generous ingredients. Try their Hakka soon kuehs too if you’re here!

Slice Beef Kway Teow Dry Set ($4/$5/$6) had a generous amount of beef slices and their Hakka soon kueh ($1 each) was bursting with ingredients such as shredded bamboo shoots, jicama, dried shrimps, and mushrooms!

Look no further for authentic Hakka food — this stall has even got a nod of approval from Burpple Tastemaker Ni Zhen's mom, who is Hakka. Get the Soon Kueh ($1 each), which will please with its springy skin and generous belly of ingredients that includes dried shrimp, black fungus and, of course, turnip. Also order the Abacus Beads ($2), which are made from a mixture of pumpkin and yam. Burpple Tastemaker Vanessa Kou describes them to be "soft, chewy, and a touch starchy, with each button holding just the right amount of bite". The dried mushroom and dried shrimp add lots of umami flavour too! If you still have it in you to eat more, try a portion of their Hakka Yong Tau Foo ($3). Pro tip: The stall sells out as early as 1pm, so come for breakfast.
Avg price: $5 per person

The soon kuehs (笋粄) were plump and filled to its brim with ingredients. Instead of just a mouthful of bang kuang (turnip), the fillings here are generously mixed in with mushrooms, black fungus, hae bi, etc., giving the bite you take a greater variety of textures compared to others out there. The best part of it all was the skin made with yam, don't know how it's done but it's so chewy!

Go early to catch them as they usually sell out by 1pm. Thank you for sharing this gem with us Ni Zhen! 🙆🏻 Can't wait to go back to try the Hakka YTF! #BurppleJalanBesar

The soon kuehs look like they are exploding because of the scissors cut 😂. Love the yam-myness of the skin! But the Hakka abacus seeds fail a little in comparison, it was a tad too salty and the texture was too soft (not well kneaded). But this is as good as you can get outside!! The Hakka Yong Tau Fu is pretty good at just $3 as well! (Though of course it is not as traditional as we would make at home 😝) #hakka #hakkafood #burpple #burpplesg #sgfood #sghawker #soonkueh #yongtaufu #hakkaabacus
