4. Hill Street Fried Kway Teow. 

Hill Street Fried Kway Teow is often the first name to pop up in people’s mind. This food stall made its fame since it was located at Hill Street. These day, we can find this over-40-year-old fried kway teow stall at Bedok South Road Market & Food Centre.

It came with 2 sizes, Small $3.00 and Big $4.00.

The mixture of yellow and flat rice noodles were stir-fried in a sweet black sauce over high heat, giving it a wonderful aroma and coat of dark luscious shine. The distinctive flavor of “wok hay” and the enticing crunchy pork lard differentiate Hill Street’s fried kway teow from the rest’s. Specially, the alluring smoky flavor, imparted to the kway teow by a very hot wok is what makes your dish.

After reading lot of good review from online and newspapers. Finally i decided to give it a try. The highly rated Char Kway Teow in Singapore, and i heard it was the best in Singapore. But sadly after i tried, i was fall from heaven to hell as this highly rated Char kway teow just normal. I don;t understand why people say it so GOOD! This is the only char kway teow that i won't recommend!

One Sized, Small $3. 

The kway teow has the right amount of moist and eggy but it was lacking of  woi hek aroma. Maybe it due to cooking in bulk. 


Overall Taste: 1/5
Value for money: 0/5
