Sheng Cheng Char Kuey Teow

The husband thinks very highly of Leslie Tay's recommendations, and will earnestly seek out stalls featured on the ieatishootipost website when he has time. So when he read about Hill Street Char Kuey Teow at Bedok South market, he decided that it was so good that it was going to be worth the calories and effort spent getting there. Unfortunately, we forgot to check whether they were open at night and after driving for half an hour (and paying ERP) we arrived there last week after work only to find the stall shut. That little adventure however sparked off a char kuey teow obsession in the husband, and so after work today, we went off hunting down another Leslie Tay recommendation.

Cheng Sheng at Jln Bukit Merah is run by an old couple, and they have servings in 2 sizes - $2.50 and $3.00. We tried both the char kuey teow and hokkien mee, and were pleasantly surprised to find that they both were of a pretty high standard.

The char kuey teow came steaming hot, and after one bite, we were so pleased - it was every bit as good as Leslie Tay said it was, with soft fluffy kuey teow doused in sweet black sauce which was slightly spicy. It was very flavourful with bits of lard scattered throughout.
The hokkien mee was very tasty as well, the stock was a great combination of the prawn and pork flavours.

Apparently the stall closes randomly now and then. They're closed from 8 March 2011 until the middle of the month.
