Shi Wei Da Teochew Porridge (85 Fengshan Centre)

Listed on the Michelin Bib Gourmand. Generous portion of pork slices, pig liver and taupok. Satay beehoon for $3

One stall that I was highly anticipating for it to reopen is Shi Wei Da 食为大, the stall was even a previous Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, which sells a fast disappearing dish of our hawker culture, the satay beehoon. This dish might not be at the top of many of our hawker favourites and some of us have not even tried it before but its so rare that you hardly see it selling elsewhere. Plus, the fact that it looks like a dollop of sloppy mess that will not make it to many people’s Instagram feed, we might have to soon add this dish into the books of forgotten hawker food.

What make a satay beehoon? Based on my observation from the way the uncle prepares this dish, he first grabs a handful of kangkong, bean sprouts and vermicelli noodle, throws them into a strainer and straight into the water boiler. When those are cooked, he drains them dry and transfer them onto the plate before picking some tau pok, pork slices and pork liver and give it a good boil in the water before assembling them on the noodle. Finally, he scoops up some of the magical hot satay sauce, pours it over the pile until everything gets drenched and covered.

The key component of this dish is undoubtedly the rich and thick satay sauce and from some research done (thanks @danielfooddiary), I read that the owner prepares the peanut sauce from scratch and what makes his satay beehoon different is that he does not add any cockles, prawns or cuttlefish compared to the few that are still in this trade. What you are getting from this plate is a multi-layered of flavours from the sweetness to savouriness and spiciness. When you are there in the evenings, you should be expecting a long queue for this and since you are already at it, ditch the $3 portion and go straight for the $4 option.

Truly a hidden gem, given that THE Fengshan Bedok hawker centre, known for its soup bcm, actl has this stall with the lognest queue, yet theres only 1 review

Super generous portion, both in terms of the absolute portion and the ratio of mee to ingredients(basically 1 to 1)

Honestly i would think this is the quintessential satay sauce in a satay Beehoon, save for a bit of kick, without any extra spices, sweetness, or really any twists that many satay bee hoon stalls use to make themselves stand out. Maybe for that reason alone, this is one of the most popular satay bee hoons.

I appreciate the attention to detail, be it the fact that he only does one plate at once (hence the Slow moving queue, mine took 30mins on a rather quiet night), or the extra few shakes to get the excess water out of the beehoon

Mainly well cooked pork liver, and sliced pork, without cockles or squid. Nothing particularly special, but it's really the insane generosity(i imagine people would Find it difficult to finish the 4nett portion, i was proud of myself when i finished my 3nrtt plate) that keeps the regular customers coming back

Its appearance might not be enticing and looks can hardly be recongised as “instagrammable”, but this is one of those dishes you should get your hands on.

This is essentially hot satay sauce poured on bee hoon (vermicelli), added with ingredients such as pork slices, prawns, cockles, cuttlefish and kang kong.

This is from Shi Wei Da from Bedok 85.
This was one of the best Satay Beehoon sauces I had, which was rich, unique and tasty – with layered flavours of savoury, sweet and only a tinge of spiciness.
