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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
