Hill Street Fried Kway Teow at Chinatown

FEBRUARY 28, 2020

Recommended by ieatishootipost as a hawker legend. This was the lesser-known Hill Street Char Kway Teow, although it similarly attracted queues.

The stallowner really displayed dedicated plate by plate frying. This was the wetter and not so sweet style of char kway teow. The kway teow had been fried well till slightly mushy, with egg nicely distributed and some crunch from the chives. It had quite good wok hei and pork lardy fragrance, although I found the flavour slightly restrained and not punchy or savoury or sweet enough. It tasted a bit like Penang kway teow, with the flatter taste profile.
