Kway Chap 粿汁 (Blk 93, Toa Payoh)

This Kway Chap 粿汁 stall at Blk 93, Toa Payoh Lor 4 is apparently very famous. From what I was told, there would nearly always be a long queue at this stall. 

This stall opens at 530pm for business. True enough when we got arrived at 730pm on a Friday, there was a queue of around 12 persons. We queue moved extremely slow. We queued for nearly 35 minutes before it was our turn to order. And by then, some of the more popular items such as pig tongue were sold out! 

Kway Chap $11

By the time we collected our food, we were starving! The Kway Chap cost $11 (note that 2 other bowls of kway is not in the above photo).

The bowl of Kway (flat and broad rice sheet) was just average. It was not soaked in the broth long enough an the broth taste more salty than tasty/flavourful.

Braised Pig Intestines (small)

The Braised Pig Intestines (small) were washed so clean that the insides were nearly all washed off and lacked any taste except for the saltiness which came from the braising sauce.

braised egg, tau pok, beancurd, big intestines, fish cakes

As for the rest of ingredients such as the braised egg, tau pok, beancurd and braised pig intestines, they were just average. The fish cake was quite decent.

Needless to say, I am not going to queue so long for this next time.

Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee 成香肉脞面 (85 Fengshan Food Centre)

Minced Pork Noodles $3.00

During this visit to 85 Fengshan Food Centre, we decided to try Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee 成香肉脞面 Minced Pork Noodles (Bak Chor Mee Soup).

This food centre is famous for their soup version Minced Meat Noodles. There are two stalls (i.e. Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian and Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee) selling this side by side, next to each other. Normally, I will just go for Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian's version.  But since recently, I heard that both stall's standard are on par, I decided to try Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee 成香肉脞面's version.

While Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian sells only the soup version of the Minced Meat Noodles, Seng Hiang sells both dry and soup versions.

Minced Meat Noodles $3.00

The Minced Meat Noodles $3 was served with meatballs, minced meat, pork lard and garnished with slices of red chilli and spring onion. Frankly, we were not too satisfied with this hence, we decided to call a similar version from the other stall for comparison.

Both Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian 兴记肉脞面 and Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee 成香肉脞面 Minced Pork Noodles (Bak Chor Mee Soup) looks alike. Can you guess which is from which stall?

Well, the left one is from Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian ($2.50) while the right one is from Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee ($3.00).

Noodles
XJ version was soft and more springy whereas SH version was harder and stiff.

Meatball
XJ version was bouncier, tastier and softer compared to SH version

Minced Meat
XJ version had a good balance of fats and meat, and was tender and fluffy. On the other hand, SH version had just too much fats compared to meat.

Soup
XJ version was tasty, and flavourful whereas SH version was on the salty end.

In terms of the overall taste, we all agreed that Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian (XJ) version beats Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee (SH) hands down. Well, taste is subjective. One man's meat is another man's poison.
