Char Kway Teow also known as Fried Kway Teow is one of the most wanted dishes in Singapore that you cannot pass through. You may be melted with the mixture of flat rice noodles and egg noodles which will be commonly stir-fried with eggs, cockles, lap cheong (Chinese sausages), bean sprouts, and Chinese chives.

A traditional plate of char kway teow could not be done without lard, which delights the dish with special flavors. These days, in the healthier version of this delicious fried noodle dish, lard is replaced by oil, and more vegetables are added in.

Char Kway Teow can be found at any hawker centres in Singapore, but it’s not easy for you to find the best one. So, we are happy to share the 5 best Char Kway Teow destinations, recommended by many locals that you can add to your priority.

At No.18, fried kway teow is freshly cooked in batch upon order and will be presented piping hot on your tables. The kway teow is springy, packed with wok hei flavor. The charm of a No.18’s fried kway teow plate lives in the generous amount of fresh, juicy cockles and crunchy, juicy bean sprouts. Those bean sprouts help balance out the fat, coming from lup cheong and lard.

What people like:

The distinctive flavor of “wok hay” and the enticing crunchy pork lard differentiate Hill Street’s fried kway teow from the rest. Specially, the alluring smoky flavor, imparted to the kway teow by a very hot wok is what makes your dish. We know that the fried lard is sinful, but who can resist the lure of the crunchy pork lard in the Hill Street’s fried kway teow, which adds a heavenly flavor to the whole plate.
