Queue was more than 10 deep even before lunch time at 11am today. After waiting for more than 20 mins, I order the large portion of satay bee Hoon at $6.50. And it was generous in terms of the ingredients but not so much the bee hoon.
The peanut sauce was fragrant with strong taste of groundnut. There were three large pieces of liver, two shrimps, several slices of pork, about 6 to 7 cockles and kang kong. The shrimps were crunchy sweet but the liver was a tad under cooked. I like it but it’s not for the faint hearted. The cockle were similarly balanced but being smaller, they were slightly better than the liver. The star of the dish was the sliced pork, which is surprising, given the ubiquitousness of this ingredient. The meat was very tender and slightly salty, so it goes very well with the slightly sweet peanut sauce.
By now I understand why there is such a long queue. It is easily one of the best satay bee hoon in Singapore. One improvement needed is to add cuttlefish which they sorely lacked. And according to owner, they no longer sell Kang Kong Cuttlefish which is sort of standard for satay bee hoon stalls.
Still I am happy with my satay bee hoon and I want to come back and try their mee siam.
