A popular store here at ZRFC.
There was once I came here for lunch and queued up from the traffic light outside of the hawker centre. That was how popular it was during its heyday.
Now the queue not as long anymore, but this plate of CKT can still eat la. Still got queue but not as long anymore, but still need to wait 20-30mins at least.
Wok hei is strong. And the entire plate of CKT was wet & flavourful.
A sinful messy plate of greasy black gooey noodles loaded with beansprouts, cockles, fishcake, lup cheong and lard. The noodles were moist and leaned more on the sweeter side with a tinge of wok hei 》$6
There is wok hey and the portion is rather decent for a $5 one. It’s not dry but rather more ‘wet’ which is to my liking
Will definitely go back again
Though the smallest portion out of the menu, I'm glad that the amount of Char Kway Teow on the plate was not miserable and can be shared between 2 pax.
The colour of the Kway Teow was even and the smoky flavours had kind of engulfed me, sending signals to my tummy and creating hunger.
The level of the standard remains and No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow still live up to its reputable name. The Plate of Fried Kway Teow was wet enough and looked glistering with a good amount of oil and pork lard. Ingredients like vegetables, egg, beansprouts, fish cakes, Chinese sausage and cockles were included.
We polished off the entire plate and true enough, it manage to satiate our hunger.
Hawker Ho Kian Tat serves what is usually regarded as the best version of char kway teow in Singapore, attracting long queues daily.
.
The classic rendition strikes an appealing balance, with the wide flat rice noodles and long cylindrical yellow wheat noodles being moist and slippery, yet carries an even smoky char. The first fry infuses the noodles with garlic, fish sauce, and pork lard.
.
The second fry has the ingredients tossed in, along with dark sweet soy sauce. Thick slices of tender fish cake and chewy dried cured pork sausage lend a satisfying bite to texture, complemented by fresh garlic chives, crisp bean sprouts, gooey egg, and plump blood cockles.
.
It's nicely smoky sweet savoury salty eggy in flavour. While long, the queue moves quickly. Waiting time averages 15 minutes or so.

Full of flavor wok hei goodness. No wonder this stall is very famous in Zion (you can see from the long queue - I suggest to come early as they take early orders too 😁).
Arguably one of the best kway teows I’ve tasted. You are served with a big-ass portion of slightly charred noodles plus generous toppings of cockles, Chinese sausage, and lard; all of which contributing to the good textural difference.
They serve in 3 sizes ($5/$6/$8) and I have opted for a medium one and it was a struggle to finish, as it’s huge! Can be shared by 2 if you’re not so hungry 😋
Overall will reco to try if you’re in the area :)

You need to try the char kway teow if you are paying a visit to Zion Riverside Food Centre! It is probably one of the stalls with a snaking long queue at the hawker centre and it is definitely testament to the stall's popularity. The dish comes with the standard kway teow and mee, as well as beansprouts, eggs, Chinese sausage and cockles! This is the $6 serving so it will probably be a little too heavy for one person and it might be better to share this dish between two pax instead. There is a smaller $5 serving, which may not be as worth it in our opinion, because it is noticeably smaller.
Most people compare this dish with that from our favourite stall at Hong Lim Food Complex and we think the stall at Hong Lim serves char kway teow that is slightly more charred. By contrast, the version at Zion Road is slightly sweeter (likely from more dark soy sauce), so it really depends on what you like to eat!
Nonetheless, the dish is still a great dish and we would advise you to give it a shot if you have yet to try it once in your life. We would like to advise you not to visit Zion Riverside Food Centre on Mondays as well as almost 75% of the stalls are not open for business. You will probably have more food options if you visit during the weekends!
The queue is moving slow, as if uncle cook per plate. The char kway teow have mild wok hei, and lesser sweet compare to my previous visit. Served with cockles, lup Cheong and sliced fish cake.
💰$5.
📍No 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow.
Stall 17 at Zion Riverside Food Centre.
Many might vote the stall at Zion Road to be the best while there are some that will dispute that. Nonetheless, that is good competition so that we can inspire the next generation of hawkers to continue the legacy of this iconic stir fry noodle and not land this dish into the history books. To me, my votes still go to both Hill Street Fried Kway Teow and Outram Park Fried Kway Teow.

The master behind the wok fries the kway teow in small batches so be prepared to wait in line patiently. The $6 portion came in a sizeable quantity but was it worth the queue? Maybe if it was something I am craving for badly or I have not ate from this stall for a very long, otherwise, I will rather just get it from Hong Lim or Bedok South market. In my opinion, definitely not the best in Singapore but surely a very solid plate of fried kway teow.

Been awhile since I had this Char Kway Teow and I’m happy to report that its standard is still gold! Wok hei is very prominent in each bite of the noodles, while the sweet and smoky lup cheong paired so well with the fresh cockles! All this for only $4 per plate too – look at that generous portion! All in all, a plate of Char Kway Teow worthy of all the calories!
😍 Char Kway Teow cravings satisfied. First time trying this popular CKT.
Ordered their largest portion at S$6 which is suitable for 2 persons to share.
Taste was good, neither overly sweet or salty to me. The kway teow and noodles are fried in dark sauce with cockles, eggs, pork lard pieces, lup cheong, fishcake, beans sprout. Expect long queue for this.
