If you’ve lived in Singapore for almost all your life, you should probably be very well acquainted with the term char kway teow.

Char Kway Teow is basically a stir-fried dish of flat rice, noodles, eggs, cockles and prawns that’s about 744 in calories (just to scare you a little first, yo).

It is definitely a favourite to many of us and while we can’t exactly define this dish, one thing’s for sure: it tastes wonderful. We’ll let you in on our favourite 10 below!

Have all ten of them and you’ll have 7,440 calories worth of energy in your body. Meh, that’s just about three marathons.

1. Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee

Google this and you’ll get plenty of positive reviews of this amazing plate of goodness. Unlike most places, the chef uses about 15-20 eggs in each batch, making every plate “eggier” compared to other Char Kway Teow stalls. I love how moist the noodles were and the number of people queuing to grab a taste of this awesome dish does not surprise me!

Location: 531A Upper Cross Street, Singapore 051531 (Hong Lim Market and Food Centre, #02-17)
Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday, 6am – 4.30pm

2. No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow

Featured on numerous newspapers, this store is definitely well known in the local scene. I’ve always loved eating at Zion Food Centre due to its countless of great and affordable food, and the fried kway teow definitely did not disappoint. For a price of $3.50, it is, without a doubt, worth the trip down.

Location: 70 Zion Rd, Singapore 247792 (Zion Road Riverside Food Centre, Stall 17)
Opening Hours: Daily (closed on alternate Mondays), 12pm – 3pm, 3.30pm – 10pm

3. Dong Ji Fried Kway Teow

With huge cockles and fresh prawns, this plate of kway teow left me wanting for more. I love how the dish used sweet black sauce to create a unique twist of the usual fried kway teow. The only downside would probably be the small serving, so we suggest ordering two plates if you’re famished!

Location: 19 Old Airport Rd, Singapore 390019 (Old Airport Road Food Centre, #01-138)
Opening Hours: Daily, 8am – 2pm

4. Serangoon Avenue 2 Fried Kway Teow

Selling oyster omelettes and carrot cake, not many people would think of ordering fried kway teow from this store. But believe me, you won’t regret trying it. I love how generous each serving is, and the chewiness of the kway teow is also just right.

Location: Serangoon Blk 237

5. Hillstreet Char Kway Teow

Loading your plate with tons of bean sprouts and gu chai, this store serves splendid char kway teow that we would recommend to everyone. With more than 40 years of experience, every dish is fried to perfection and you’ll love the smoky charcoal flavour that not all chefs are capable of executing!

Location: Blk 16, Bedok South Road, #01-187
Opening Hours: Closed on Mondays, Tuesday to Sunday, 10.30am – 6pm

6. 91 Fried Kway Teow Mee

If you’re one of those who refuses to eat char kway teow due to it being unhealthy, you’ll be glad to know that 91 fried kway teow mee replaces the lard with oil. Served with vegetables instead of delicious pork lard, one might assume that the taste would be compromised. But rest assured that it is still as good as any other stores mentioned.

Location: #01-91 Golden Mile Food Centre 505 Beach Road, Singapore 199583
Opening Hours: Closed on Mondays, Tuesday to Sunday 11am – 9pm

7. Circuit Road Char Kway Teow

Adding his own take on char kway teow, I was definitely pleasantly surprised at the addition of ingredients in my dish. Using a thinner kind of noodles, he adds in shredded carrots and stir-fried cucumbers and Using a thinner kind of noodles, he adds in shredded carrots and stir-fried cucumbers, and complete the dish with a more sour kind of chilli. Don’t be turned off just yet, because the end result was actually pretty fantastic.

Opening Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 3pm -11pm

8. Green Sky Fried Kway Teow

While this store has been under the radar for quite some time, the fried kway teow took me by surprise with its flavourful ingredients and large portion. It is not the best one out there, but definitely worth a try! Especially if you live in the east!

Location: 1 Bedok Rd, Singapore, Singapore 469572 (Bedok Corner Food Centre, #01-14)
Opening Hours: Wednesday to Monday (closed on Tuesdays), 11am – 9.30pm

9. Lai Heng Fried Kway Teow

For a price of $2.50, the portion that this store served was extremely generous. Not to mention that of all the stores we talked about, this is the only one that offers otak to customers. Otak is a grilled fish cake that surprisingly, pairs extremely well with the kway teow.

Location: 320 Shunfu Road, Singapore 570320 (Shunfu Mart Food Centre, #02-20)
Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10am – 7.30pm

10. Katong (Peter) Fried Kway Teow

Using white kway teow instead of the usual noodles, you’d immediately notice the slight difference that this dish has. With a more salty and spicy take, the noodles were more on the dry side. What’s different is that you are able to choose the Singapore version or a Penang one, both of which are just as great!
