This stall in Chong Pang has been serving the dish for over 30 years, and still makes their signature pieces by hand.
.
Queues at dinner can reach up to 45 minutes, and the quality of frying can be inconsistent at times. When perfectly executed however, the prawn cracker fritters are fantastic, crisp with mild sweet savoury shrimpy flavour.
.
The bouncy tofu beancurd carries lovely grainy sweet savoury flavour, and the juicy pork and liver 5 spice rolls have nice meaty savoury salty spice bitter mineral earthy notes (if not over-fried).
.
Wish they gave more chili though. Note that there is a deposit upon order due to the long waiting time. Personally, I think they attract a crowd because of nostalgia.
