I guess this char kway teow stall does not need much introduction. By the time we were there around 7pm on a Monday evening, there's already a queue of around 4 - 5 people there waiting for their char kway teow. hmm... interesting similarity I noticed, the uncle here and the one famous "lao fu zi" one at Old Airport Road both listen to music when they fry their kway teow! hahahaaha.... except the uncle here listens to hokkien song while he cooks :)
Frankly, I think this is the first time I eat the char kway teow at this place, cos most of the time I'm here, I always go eat the prawn noodle instead. But since the prawn noodle was closed today, decided to check this out today.
So was the queue worth the wait? Actually, the queue wasn's that long, probably just 5 - 10min? I've ordered the $5 portion today, and the portion was pretty big with lots of cockeles too. Overall, the char kway teow here is pretty good, and not too sweet too and definitely deserve a 3.5 star, though I'm not too sure giving it a 4 though. The char kway teow also comes with lard, but not that much though. So if you are a healthy person, you might want to take note.
PS. For those who drive, I would suggest trying to park at Great World City and walk across the road especially on weekends as I remember the car park behind is not that big and usually full.

Just went to the store today...not as many people as i expect but still there's a queue...
anywayz the food itself is not bad...it's not fantasic but not bad...
If u're staying in the extreme North, South, East or West then it's not worth going all the way down to try it.
But if u're passing by or in the area, then it's recommended to go and try it.
i agree with Cybertron's rating of 3.5 Star~

In Singapore, not too hard to find good dim sum, it is cheap and good that's hard to find...hahaha...
So far, for cheap and good, I think Yan Palace get my vote. :)

I'm not crazy about song fish head, but I'm very particular about the food freshness & tastiness, esp for seafood, freshness is very important to me. ^o^

I think their high tea buffet is around $18+++ if not wrong. Unless one eats a lot, else might be cheaper to eat ala carte at yan palace or something.

If ya like song fish head, I think ya should give the one at Albert Street temporary food centre (next to bugis mrt) a try. When I pass by or grab my meals there, I always see old couples ordering the fish head there. :)
As for chinatown, there's so many stalls selling that dish, frankly, I'm not sure which is the best one there though :)
