Heng Huat Fried Kway Tiao (Pasir Panjang Food Centre)

This stall at Pasir Panjang Food Center is full of surprises.

First of all, it is open half the week. Secondly, the heap of vegetables on top of the Char Kway Teow is humongous. And they use very tender and sweet Cai Xin.

Then unlike other stalls, for $8, you get lots of cockles (I counted 16). Plump ones too, cooked just right.

The time taken to cook my plate was very short. After a minute or two, my plate of CKT was ready. And yet there is wok heat in there.

But there is no bean sprout, no fish cakes and no Chinese sausage.

Sumptuous and healthy, if there is such a thing for CKT.

Probably not deserving of a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food-King Good title.

No lard at all but surprisingly, there’s chye poh in this plate of CKT. You can expect to find about 5-6 pieces of hum. Although there isn’t any wokhei, it’s still a decent plate of CKT to satisfy ur cravings!

When you want to eat something sinful and yet healthy (the vegetable is the healthy one 😅), you come to this stall... add more hum, please ?

Some say the greens make you feel healthier eating one of Singapore's oiliest dishes, but overall they don't add anything to this version. The kway teow itself... Decent lor.

Probably the only char kway tiao that has a heap of boiled vegetables on top! Not too oily, salty, sweet! With the fresh mustard vegetables on top, it makes this dish less sinful.

Total damage: $3.00

This lard free char kuay teow two MRT stops away from NUS is a good treat for some who are sick of the food in school canteens! The chye sim was juicy and the chye Poh made this char kuay teow awkwardly healthy and tasty. The vegetables taste so good that I finished them all up even before those cockles. The cockles were pretty big and fresh and a generous amount was given for a $5 serving! It's a quite unique rendition of char kuay teow and I am sure to bring some of my exchange students friends here to try it out!
