Hawker Ho Kian Tat serves what is usually regarded as the best version of char kway teow in Singapore, attracting long queues daily.
.
The classic rendition strikes an appealing balance, with the wide flat rice noodles and long cylindrical yellow wheat noodles being moist and slippery, yet carries an even smoky char. The first fry infuses the noodles with garlic, fish sauce, and pork lard.
.
The second fry has the ingredients tossed in, along with dark sweet soy sauce. Thick slices of tender fish cake and chewy dried cured pork sausage lend a satisfying bite to texture, complemented by fresh garlic chives, crisp bean sprouts, gooey egg, and plump blood cockles.
.
It's nicely smoky sweet savoury salty eggy in flavour. While long, the queue moves quickly. Waiting time averages 15 minutes or so.
