overhyped and overrated.
wonder how it got 4 or 5 stars. super oily and tasteless. an oily smashed up mess masquerading as fried kway teow. long queue was due to the slow cooking not because of lots of customer. super rude Pinoy woman server though her husband the cook was alright. not worth it. outram park fried kway teow at hong Lim, hill street fried kway teow at Chinatown complex and hock Kee at 22 havelock are 100% better than this overrated stall. the worst char kway teow in Singapore imo

Noticed No 18 Fried Kway Teow at chinatown with a lot of published accolades and a line. It appears this is the stall's temporary home while its original location in Zion is undergoing renovation. The $4 non-cockle plate I ordered is of decent portion size and contained a good amount of ingredients (fish cakes, chinese sausage, beansprouts, vegetable) in between the noodles. However, the noodles were quite dry and mouthfeel and overall taste average when compared to others which are typically smoother and more slippery. I guess this is akin to a dry version which may appeal to some who like less-greasy food but i actually prefer the wetter version from Food Street in the same hawker centre (if the husband is frying).
Be the first to ReplyThis is one of the most famous Char Kway Teows in Singapore.
They do have a lot of cockels and other goodies in there, and the portion is huge. However, the flavor and the "wok hay" isn't always there. They have a long line, that is backed up, and they're trying to rush out some food. A local who ordered after me told them to cook it longer for more "char" in their char kway teow. Maybe if I had done what they had done, I would be more impressed. Bottom line: if there wasn't a wait, it'd be worth it. With the wait, it's just above average Char Kway Teow (big portions, lots of goodies) for at least a 45 minute wait.

Maybe I just don't know enough about this specialty or read too much hype about it. I stood in line patiently and got a large plate of noodles. Yes it was hot. Yes it was tasty. Yes it was cheap. But at the end of the day it's just a good plate of noodles. Reminded me of chow fun. I feel like maybe as a tourist I'm committing sacrilege to say this but really was underwhelmed. Sorry. I wouldn't wait in the 20 min line again. I would def call and get takeout if this place was walking distance from where I lived or something. Or if I could sit in a cool air conditioned restaurant and get it.
Be the first to ReplyThe Char Kway Teow served in this stall was outstanding.
The noodles had this really lovely charred texture and tasted pretty sweet. The dish was full of the usual ingredients: cockles, chinese sausage, crispy pork lards, and they all blended really elegantly to form a really bold, flavoursome plate of noodles.Worth the calories!

You know when you try a dish somewhere? And then it completely ruins every other version of the dish for you because that one just blew your mind away? This was what ruined every other char kway teow for me. Every trip back home for the past 5 years has included me coming straight down here for a $4 plate of deliciousness. Nothing else, nowhere else will suffice. The perfectly cooked noodles are laden with cockles, Chinese sausage and those sublime pieces of crispy pork lard. The flavour is indescribable - gritty, wholesome and with wok hei. Each order is freshly cooked and served hot. The smallest portion costs $3 which is more than enough for me. Queues are predictably long in the evenings but the aroma of cooking will tide you over.

just ok, not sure why the hype steaming about itDefinitely not the best in Singapore, try <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fieatishootipost.sg%2Fmeng-kee-char-kway-teow-a-char-kway-teow-thats-worth-the-calories%2F&s=4dfab5d20e241d2ac3c5dbc5a07e5da334bcfe75a5e12cad2bebda42ab2f8b4b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ieatishootipost.sg/meng-…</a>

A little bit of a walk to get to this place, especially by MRT, but totally worth it. The Char Kway Teow here is one of the best in the city, quite possibly anywhere in the world. The noodle texture was spot on and the smokey taste mixed with the cockles and pieces of fat you simply cant be beat it. If you are in Singapore make the trek out to Zion Food Centre and try this place out.
Be the first to ReplyI've travelled far and wide.
The char kway teow is still the ultimate street food dish. The fragrance when the dish is being prepared, the explosion of flavor when the first bite hits your mouth. The smokiness from the hot fire in which its prepared, and the depth that the lard adds to it. There is nothing else in the world that comes close to this.And if you need a char kway teow, there's no where else except the one at Zion Road. This place has been written up a lot, but there's a reason for it - it is simply the best. Mr Ho's attention to detail is second to none. I had the privilege of being the first person in the queue, and I watched for 15 mins as he made final preparations before they opened. Adjusting where the eggs would be, where the noodles would be, the angle of his stock pot. And then the final moment, when he dons his cap (backwards) and then turns on the light to the stall. We're open!A little known fact that might miss a few. Being first in line has it privileges. One of them being, whilst the rest of the stall is being prepared, in the wok is actually a whole wok-full of lard being fried. And so that first batch of kway teow, amazing!
Be the first to ReplyI have a confession to make - I'm scared of wooden spoons.
How scared?- Like being in a demonic nightmare you can't awake from- Like jumping out of a plane only to realise you forgot to take the parachute- Like being chased by a hungry cheetah and you're wearing thongs(In Oz we call this being sh!t scared! OR wearing the brown underpants!)Why am I scared? It all stems from my youth, when as a horrible child I got up to all sorts of mischief, which resulted in being disciplined (on the knuckles initially), by my mother - using a long wooden spoon. My naughty nature was such that she got so adept at using the thing she could hit me with it from another room, around walls, and over her shoulder without looking.So why bring all this up? Well... back in the day my mother lived in Singapore, and one of the dishes she brought back to Australia was char kway teow. It remains one of her favourite dishes to this day. Now I have grown up on her version of this dish, and totally loved it for years myself, so upon coming to Singapore I was interested in seeing how authentic her version was and if I found one better would I once again incur the wrath of the wooden spoon?Cue: No. 18 Zion Road Char Kway TeowThis was also my first hawker centre visit, so I was interested in the concept itself.Upon arriving I walked past endless stalls which only had 1 or 2 customers lining up for their food until I arrived at stall 18. Kaboom, a good 15-20 people lining up. Had I timed my run too late? I knew that it was closing at 3pm, and I'd gotten here at 2:10pm thinking I'd have enough time... As the line slowly progressed that time was running out, but then as if like magic, a big pile of orders were delivered at once and I was served probably 20-30 minutes after getting into the line (maybe quicker).The serving sizes are Small ($3.50 used to be $3), Medium ($4) and Large ($5).The glutton in me will pick the largest size 9 times out of 10 but I decided to be pragmatic here and opted eventually for the medium size.It was the right choice. The medium is a big enough serve for a hungry man, and given that char kway teow is quite heavy on the calories it's probably the best one to go for in terms of bang-for-your-buck-and-keeping-healthy balance.What I really loved seeing, when it was finally my time to order, was a photo of the cook/owner stuck alongside his grill. It had to be from 25-30 years ago. And for him to still be doing this, and churning out the same dish endlessly shows a real passion for the product.When I had the dish in my hands I made my way to a spare table in the centre and took a seat. Whilst I let the aroma of the dish invade my nostrils, the upbeat crappy but totally catchy Ronan Keating played over the speakers, followed by Owl City. I think it was important to mention this, because you feel good here. You feel somewhat light-hearted, and I think that is a great feeling to have on a weekend after work, just a carefree sort of afternoon with a nice meal.So what's the verdict Dan? Was it better than your mums? Here's the stickler. I'm loathe to say it was, for fear of that wooden spoon (or even never having the dish again) - but it was somewhat different in both flavour and texture.18 Zion introduce a generous amount of fresh cockles into the dish, and these juicy sweet bursts of flavour really cut through the richness of the dish, which I think is important as it can be quite rich. The pork lard crackling is an element I have never had before and it is exceptional, when you bite into one of those crunchy croutons of bacon-ness you are transported to flavour town.They also use a much darker thicker sauce, and the lap cheong whilst prevalent is diced much smaller than I'm used to - in such a way that it incorporates into the dish and is not something you identify separately - which is a key difference because it really rounds out the flavours.I loved this dish it was so flavourful and it is easy to see why it is considered one of Singapore's best exponents of CKT. However, I am also mindful that a dish like this is calorific - CKT sits at #6 for most calories in Singapore's Top 50 hawker foods with a whopping 745 calories based on a standard plating size - That's close enough to 3 Big Macs (257 cals each) to put it in perspective. If CKT wasn't so heavy on the calories I'd probably eat here very often.

5 stars, the noodles were ok but the owner was super nice and helpful to someone not from Singapore. The line is always long here and people get mutiple orders so be prepared to wait a little bit. If you want solid noodles, you can go here and it is tasty and not as oily as others I've tried. This is not something that will blow your mind though.
