Tong Lok Kway Chap @ Pasir Panjang - Popular Kway Chap In The West

Since moving to the West, I have been wanting to try Tong Lok Kway Chap for the longest time. The popular stall is always sold out by noon and I usually struggle to get out of bed on weekend. I finally managed to drag my feet to the coffeeshop on a Saturday morning to try the renowned kway chap stall in the West.

The flat rice sheet or more commonly known as kway by the locals is thin and smooth. However the accompanying broth was rather weak in flavour.

Kway Chap 4.2/5

I ordered a mix platter of Kway Chap which consists of tau pok, beancurd, fishcake, pig stomach, pig skin and pig intestines. The innards were well cleaned and absorbed the braised sauce, it did not have the gamey taste. The sauce did not have the strong herbal flavour. In fact it was sweetness to it.

There are two highlights for me here. The pig intestine has an interesting crispy texture to it. I am not sure how the stall does it but it seems like after it has been braised, extra treatment was done to obtain the interesting texture. The other worthy note is the tangy chilli sauce that complemented the braised ingredients excellently.

Tong Lok Kway Chap does sell out before their closure time. Hence I would advise customers to go early if you don't want to make a wasted trip.

Fei Zai Pork Rib Prawn Noodle (肥仔排骨虾面) @ Pasir Panjang - Popular Prawn Noodle In The West

Located inside a coffeeshop along Pasir Panjang road at the corner of Pepys Road is Fei Zai Pork Rib Prawn Noodle (肥仔排骨虾面). The stall only opens in the morning and its usually sold out by 1pm. During my visit on a Saturday morning, there was a snaking queue and it told me about 30 minutes to savour the bowl of prawn noodle.

Pork Rib Big Prawn Noodle Dry 4.2/5

I ordered the Pork Rib Big Prawn Noodle ($8) which comes with a big prawn, a medium size prawn and 3 pieces of pork ribs. I felt sort of short changed because the stall never gives me 2 big prawns but instead a big and medium.

Putting the size of the prawns aside, this is actually quite a tasty bowl of prawn noodle. The highlight is the hae bee him or spicy dry shrimp sambal chilli sauce. It has a good punch in it which goes very well with the noodles.

The pork ribs was also cooked to folk tender without the porky taste. It fell off the bone with ease. The soup was also robust and sweet. I could taste the essence of the prawn shells that has been boiled for hours.

If you are in the vicinity, this is definitely a bowl of prawn noodle that is worth the queue. Do be early if you do not want to make a waste trip cos the prawn noodle is very popular and it is sold out quite early.
