No:18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow (Zion Riverside Food Centre)

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Full of flavor wok hei goodness. No wonder this stall is very famous in Zion (you can see from the long queue - I suggest to come early as they take early orders too 😁).

Arguably one of the best kway teows I’ve tasted. You are served with a big-ass portion of slightly charred noodles plus generous toppings of cockles, Chinese sausage, and lard; all of which contributing to the good textural difference.

They serve in 3 sizes ($5/$6/$8) and I have opted for a medium one and it was a struggle to finish, as it’s huge! Can be shared by 2 if you’re not so hungry 😋

Overall will reco to try if you’re in the area :)
