One of the few stores open on a Monday night. Got the Mixed Beef Noodles (Soup) at the $6 portion, and was pleasantly surprised by the generous servings of meat. The rice noodles were also springy with a firm bite, couldn't help but slurp it up until I finished the noodles before the meat! Broth leans towards Chinese-style, might try the dry version next time.
Despite the low google reviews of malaysia chiak in general, the CKT here is rather not bad.
Got slighy Wok hei.
+1 for extra egg.
Not the best claypot rice, but good enough and they have individual portions if you dine alone. The herbal are decent . Convenient location .
Since March 2016, Madam Yang's rendition has drawn a good queue during peak meal times, stretching up to nearly an hour at most.
.
The star is the flavourful soup / broth, simmered with soy, herbs, and duck bones for over 2 hours. The slippery smooth wide flat kway teow / rice noodles complements with mild grainy sweet flavour.
.
The pig offals are thoroughly cleaned, and likewise simmered in the same delicious broth till tender, absorbing the sweet salty savoury earthy herbal flavour.
.
Selected a mix of small intestines, large intestines, dried tofu puffs, braised chicken egg, and braised duck meat.

A popular store here at ZRFC.
There was once I came here for lunch and queued up from the traffic light outside of the hawker centre. That was how popular it was during its heyday.
Now the queue not as long anymore, but this plate of CKT can still eat la. Still got queue but not as long anymore, but still need to wait 20-30mins at least.
Wok hei is strong. And the entire plate of CKT was wet & flavourful.
Fresh and huge prawns in a flavourful broth packed with umami goodness. The broth is rich and robust with a tinge of natural sweetness from the seafood. The dry version came with noodles doused in chilli sauce, topped with braised pig skin and shallots 》$12
A sinful messy plate of greasy black gooey noodles loaded with beansprouts, cockles, fishcake, lup cheong and lard. The noodles were moist and leaned more on the sweeter side with a tinge of wok hei 》$6
Incredible!
Despite the colour looking like your normal gravy, the flavour is completely different. It's not herbal at all, rather there's an intense thick sweet umami, with almost a little bit of funk, I'm guessing fermented bean curd?
And while the chili doesn't work w the soup ingredients, it works well w the strong gravy here, coming thru despite the flavourbomb of a gravy
So, so good. Must try
Soup is quite unique, a very clean broth that doesn't taste quite like any beef broth I've had, cos the sweetness is minimal but it's still powerful. Today, maybe because we came as soon as they opened, the pepper taste is way too strong.
All of the toppings were cooked V well. Rice noodles were great too
Chili is quite strong and doesn't rlly work w the toppings
There is wok hey and the portion is rather decent for a $5 one. It’s not dry but rather more ‘wet’ which is to my liking
Will definitely go back again
Boon Tong Kee is 1 of my favourite kway chap store.
Their duck meat is tender.
The intestines were flavourful.
The pig skin was bouncy, and jellylicious.
The Braised sauce was good and goes well with all their meats
And there are 3 types of chilli to choose from. All also goes well with the braised meats.
The noodles were p springy, somewhat like those HK style crystal noodles but not as thin. They were dressed in a light but savoury-sweet sauce, with either shallots/garlic that makes it quite fragrant and tasty.
Char siew is quite sweet, lean but not rly dry, somewhat a bit like bak kwa? But not as hard. Was better than expected because visually it was too brightly red for my liking.
Wanton soup is quite nice, had that comforting, classic wanton soup taste. Wanton skins were slippery smooth, but filling was ok, not particularly flavourful. The fried wanton was v crunchy, preferred this!
Overall I quite liked it and would revisit/recommend :)
