SINGAPORE HAWKER FOOD | Fried Kway Teow (炒粿條) | Amoy Street Food Centre

On a daily basis, 82-year-old Uncle Chua cycles to Amoy Street Food Centre, for his fried kway teow hawker business. He started learning the ropes at the age of 17 as an apprentice, and started his business in 1968 at Boon Tat Street. The business has been ongoing for more than 5 decades. Unfortunately, there is no next generation after him to take over the business.
Many hawkers are the older generation who did not have a chance to receive a proper education when they were young, and came out at a young age to make a living through the hawker business. The only goal was to survive the tough times.
Amoy Fried Kway Teow has a distinct Wok Hei aroma that comes from the intense heat used to stir fry. At high temperatures, there is a caramelising of sugar in the dark soy sauce that contributes to the smoky flavours of the dish. A touch of lime juice adds a tang and enhances the charred flavours.

His CKT is to die for! I bought in morning and had it at night and it was still so good!

[@kelvinlee8919]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful stall with us. Your short interview with the uncle also let us felt him warmth.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Glad you enjoyed it! Our pleasure.

[@lawrenceyea9052]

I stay at amoy when I was small. I have eaten this stall for over 30 years. This should be the best char keow teow I ever eat. Not so oily. The cooking is perfect.🥣

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rl6742]

👍 Good n no oily must try

[@melianatenny2762]

Saya paling suka makan kuetiaw

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Terimah Kasih!

[@lala76]

I'm convinced cooking is 10% recipie 10% ingredients and 80% the hand.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

I agree 100%

[@bruneilange4161]

Without cockles fried Kway Teow won't taste nice but not everyone goes for it as its optional anyway.Love this simple dish.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Thanks for watching

[@aaron911205]

This uncle Char Kway Teow is really good.

[@hanscheong2676]

wah! 82 years old??!!! cant believe it!

[@blackthorn5620]

Now that's a good char kuay teow.

[@Garettteh]

The skills and experience of these old hawkers are mainly gone now with the next generation usually unable to persevere in long hours under such hot condition, cooking and selling food. Of course the high rent of hawker stalls is another factor. I had a great beef noodle at beach road from another old hawker like this. Cannot find another beef noodle with the same great taste ever since.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@johnhhu2804]

John....Shu
🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@vicking5563]

This looks like a really good plate of ckt. Its 8ndividually fried and the cockles are so big.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Yes indeed. That is why uncle is selling $4 per plate min.

[@gopenh2o]

there is onion inside right at the end...

[@khairulazrin7992]

Uncle , do u mind to share what brand you are using for light and dark soy sauce? dont worry i dont go for business :D . Im a Malay and love fried kueh tiaw chinese version!

[@rossanapioh7700]

🥰🥰

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Nice

[@robintang7304]

I've not eaten his ckt, it certainly looks good, no need to travel far and long Q. If I happen to be around the vicinity, I'll surely Q up.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Amoy FC just reopen this week after 3 months renovation I will revisit Uncle soon and update.

[@jennifer-oc6io]

only in singapore, can you get a plate of labour intensive freshly made food tailored just for you at just 4 euros. We can never get such advantage anywhere else in the world in a first world setting at 3 rd world prices. only in singapore, we are too lucky. and our hawkers r too self sacfricing

[@robennakata9300]

Yes truly agree
.......iam from indonesia...and the quality vs price cannot compare with singapore hawker stall....hormat

[@Samrules4ever]

Anybody know if this shop is still in business? Have been there several times but it is always closed.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

It is handed over to daughter. Uncle has a fall last year and is retired. Still as good but open mostly office hour only.

[@bennyc7176]

I don't think adding bean sprouts too early suits more customers though

[@boj1719]

Where to buy the cockles ? Cannot find at supermarket

[@toyshanger8945]

Correct me if I am wrong but that’s not dark soy sauce rather dark caramel sauce

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Yes, it is some kind of sweet sauce. Thanks for sharing.

[@nelsonerniramirez8877]

Extra cockles Uncle :-)

[@choonhonglee5980]

👍👍👍

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Nice

[@chencheowhin2985]

Beef noddle

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

This is typical Cha Kway Teow. No beef but cockles and chinese sausage.

[@punzulaguno1632]

👍👍

[@Ed-se1wo]

Those are bean sprouts not onions 👍

[@sonidamara5018]

enak banget...

[@aaron911205]

This uncle Char Kway Teow is really good.
