Welcome to Ang Mo Kio. Looking for Char Kway Teow places?

Opened nearly 5 decades ago by Aw Teck Chwee, this stall commands brisk business as the owner hand-fries each plate to order.
.
The soft wide flat rice noodles and chewy long cylindrical yellow wheat noodles are tossed with dark soy sauce, white sugar, chewy lup cheong / dried cured pork sausage, bouncy fish cake, crunchy bean sprouts, gooey beaten chicken egg, juicy blood cockles, and crucially, crisp pork lard that is freshly fried daily.
.
The plate is a tad greasy, tending towards the wetter version, and carries robust smoky savoury salty sweet flavours.

Read somewhere this is a father and son outfit where the father delivers a wetter version and the son fries a dryer version with wok heat. Curiosity piqued, I went to try for myself.

Upon arrival at 12 noon, there was an aunty and a gentleman in front of me in the queue. Son was helming the wok today (damn I prefer wetter version) Ordered $5 portion. And that’s when I found out not only you do not get to choose the dryer or wetter version, you also cannot choose to add cockles or fish cake or sausage. No customisation. Only chilli or without.

Got my plate within 7 minutes. Sure enough, it was the dry version and plenty of wok heat. In fact a couple of charred bits of noodles could also be found. The portion was decent enough for $5 but the number of cockles give was pathetic. They really should remover the word cockles from their signboard. Noodles were not too sweet, which I liked .

Pro tip: grab one of the spoons before you start eating. Towards the middle, the spoon is handier than chopsticks cause the noodles were all pretty chopped up from the frying. Spooning mouthfuls was more satisfying than trying to grasp at bits with a pair of chopsticks.

For us, it was a real hit as we enjoy dark sauce (the more the merrier!) although some might find it too sweet for their liking. Nonetheless, if you choose every spoonful carefully, you will see that there is plenty of pork lard to go around! The savoury fragrance of the lard helps to balance the sweetness of the Char Kway Teow.

This CKT stall in Ang Mo Kio comes highly recommended. Long queues are to be expected even after lunch hours. Be aware that they have 10 min breaks in between; you can still join the queue and wait.

Ordered the small portion $4 and added an egg for $0.50 and extra ingredients (Chinese sausage, fish cake slices and cockles) for another $1.00. They don’t accept requests for additional cockles alone.

The CKT is the moist type. There was a little bit of wok heat in my serving especially when it was just served. I found the chilli to lack heat, in fact, it was as if there wasn’t any added. The portion is big though, so for smaller eaters, don’t order the larger portion ($5).

Lots of fish cakes and Chinese sausage but not that many cockles. It’s as if no extras were given. Large chunks of lard bits were to be found so it was a joy to crunch them with the moist CKT.

Overall not a bad plate of CKT. Perhaps not top 3 in Singapore but certainly the best in Ang Mo Kio area.

The char kway teow was a heavenly aromatic mess of noodles, fish cake slices, beansprouts and pork lard with a couple of hum (cockles) thrown into the mix.

Been some time since I've had a char kway teow, and this is not too bad! The $4 portion is neither too sweet nor too salty and the cockles within are really fresh! Probably the only gripe is that the portion is a little small 🤣

The Char Kway Teow was big portion, the flavour towards to sweet, the wok hei quite strong, served with fish cake, cockles and pork lard (it’s crispy and very juicy 🤩)
💰$4.5

So pleasantly surprised, this was pretty damn good. Please eat it piping hot!! So shiok - there’s wokhei, it’s v flavourful, kwayteow wasn’t soggy even tho it was a takeaway! We ordered non-spicy but it was kinda still spicy, though it was a nice tingle of spiciness on the tongue! The only thing that could be improved on was the quality of the lapcheong, it was quite meh. But everything else was great!!

It is usually a good idea to follow the queues at the hawker centre if you are not sure what's good though it may backfire at times.

There was a rather long line at Bendemeer Fresh Cockles Fried Kway Teow at Teck Ghee Court FC when I was there two weekends ago. The wait was approximately 20 minutes and for $4.50, we got a somewhat small plate of CKT.

Maybe I was expecting more considering the wait. The CKT was decent and a little on the bland side.

I think It is time to sate my CKT craving soon with my favourite wet gooey ugly delicious messy plate of CKT from Hong Lim :)

Decent Char kway teow,with light wok hei and not too sweet

For me a good plate of char kway teow must have a strong wok hei taste, and they do it very well here. Each sinful wok hei laden plate is loaded with cockles & lap cheong (chinese sausages); certainly worth the calories in my opinion.
