Tiong Bahru (EW17)

Though the smallest portion out of the menu, I'm glad that the amount of Char Kway Teow on the plate was not miserable and can be shared between 2 pax.

The colour of the Kway Teow was even and the smoky flavours had kind of engulfed me, sending signals to my tummy and creating hunger.

The level of the standard remains and No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow still live up to its reputable name. The Plate of Fried Kway Teow was wet enough and looked glistering with a good amount of oil and pork lard. Ingredients like vegetables, egg, beansprouts, fish cakes, Chinese sausage and cockles were included.

We polished off the entire plate and true enough, it manage to satiate our hunger.

With its reputation, there is no doubt that a snaky queue will be formed. We waited for about 20 minutes but I will like to highlight that they clear the queue pretty fast although there are some mass orders again.

The Kway Teow was perfectly charred in its smokiness aroma. Pork lard pieces and Lup Cheong were part of the plate's ingredients. The plate of Char Kway Teow was not too greasy and was on the moist side.

I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the blood cockles that was served on my plate of Char Kway Teow.

The plate of Char Kway Teow tasted more of an old school taste and style that is well-liked by many. If you love CKT with a sweeter version with savoury notes, this might not be your choice.
