Penang Fried Kway Teow (Upper Boon Keng Market & Food Centre)

It’s not common to find Penang Fried Kway Teow in a hawker centre. The aunty fries the kway teow in small portions so you have to be patient to queue for this. It took me 25min on a Sat afternoon after 2pm to get my plate of kway teow. Portion is decent and it has wok hei. Can’t be compared to what you get in Penang but decent enough to satisfy cravings.

This food centre is actually famous for its kambing soup.

But this place is also where one of my favourite char kway teow stalls in Singapore is located.

Penang Char Kway Teow is one really underrated stall, just like Ping Ji Bo Bia (@Berseh Food Centre).

Unlike the typical dark, sweet version of char kway teow we commonly come across in Singapore, the char kway teow here is different. It is savoury!

It comes with a sprinkling of greens veggies, lup cheong, a few prawns, and a generous amount of bean sprouts and egg.

The first time I tried it, I was wowed! IMHO, the auntie whips up one of the best plates of char kway teow I ever had.

But I always make sure I tell the auntie that I want it MORE SALTY. This is the only place in Singapore where I will request for my food to be more salty. I'm not sure but I think the elderly population there like theirs bland.

I can travel all the way to this food centre just for this char kway teow alone.

If you have not tried savoury char kway teow or you don't like yours (too) sweet, you really got to try this out!
