If you are searching for a good plate of char kway teow in the east side of Singapore, look no further than Joo Chiat Place Fried Kway Teow. This unassuming stall is located in a quaint coffeeshop with the old school prawn noodle stall. It is also nestled within a few minutes of other popular food options such as Petit Pain, Kim Choo Kuey Chang and other cafes, this fried kway teow gem serves up a plate of smoky, flavourful char kway teow that keeps its loyal customers coming back for more.
Strong Wok Hei
What sets Joo Chiat Fried Kway Teow apart is the perfect balance of wok hei (the coveted smoky aroma from high-heat stir-frying). The flat rice noodles are fried with pork lard and dark soya sauce with a hint of sweetness and every bite is packed with umami goodness.
This char kway teow stall has been around since the 1950s. The lady boss whipping up the fried kway teow is the second generation owner who took over the reins from her father.
Ingredients and Options for a Hearty Meal
Expect a satisfying mix of lap cheong (Chinese sausage), cockles, eggs, fishcake and crunchy bean sprouts, all stir-fried to perfection. The addition of pork lard enhances the depth of flavour, giving it that authentic, old-school hawker taste. You can choose to add on a sunny side up egg for an extra $1.
Why You Should Try It
For fans of authentic fried kway teow in Singapore, Joo Chiat Fried Kway Teow delivers a strong plate of char kway teow. Whether you’re a local foodie or a tourist hunting for the best hawker food in Singapore, this spot is worth a visit. Pair it with a refreshing lemon tea for the ultimate street food experience!
We ordered the medium size portion which is $5.50. One thing we’d love to see? More juicy cockles in the kway teow! While the portion is on the smaller side, I am not complaining because it is also healthier to eat this in moderation.
