Salted egg fans, you will love this! The sauce is really thick, rich and creamy, and they use plenty of it (plus some curry leaves and chilli padi) to stir-fry whatever ingredients you choose from the display in the refrigerated cabinet. As a finishing touch, complimentary pieces of crispy fish skin are scattered all over.
I had picked mostly vegetables, beancurd items, sliced pork belly and instant noodles myself, and after being stirfried, these amounted to a gigantic bowl that cost $14.50 and could be shared between 2 to 3 pax. When carrying the bowl from the stall to my table, and even whilst I was in the middle of eating, people actually stopped me to ask where I had gotten the dish from. I guess it is hard to ignore something so big, tasty looking and wafting with good smells.
All credit for the discovery of @threegoodguys must be given to @marketkitchentable. He had messaged me about them on Instagram just when lunch plans were being tabled at the Burpple office. Honestly, his timing couldn’t have been better.
Anyway, “Three Good Guys” (translated from “三个好人”) is located on the upper level of Beach Road Hawker Centre at stall unit #01-108.
Barely a week old, it’s opened and run by a trio of young Singaporeans who had met at their previous workplace (nope, not a food-related company). Actually, none of them have any F&B background (so try and be patient if your order takes a little longer to be ready) but they do strike me as being savvy with their catchy branding and display signs. One of them shared with me their target customers are not Chinese nationals but young locals, which is why although their set-up resembles most “Ma La” stalls, their aim is to serve what is “trending“. Hence, besides “Ma La”, they offer their own superb Salted Egg Sauce for now, are planning to introduce more options in the future.
