Lao San Kway Chap 老三粿汁

 
 
 
Lao San Kway Chap 老三粿汁
 
BLK 232 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 Coffeeshop
 
 
Basically, a fellow colleague of mine brought me here to try out the kway chap. It was said to be fantastic. You are able to chose the items you prefer and omit those that you don't like.
 
They serve the usual kway chap fare in additional you get to select 'fen chang' small intestines too which is not too common in other kway chap stalls. So if you love 'fen chang' small intestines you would enjoy.
 
The salted vegetable is great but personally I felt that the best was actually the chili which goes with the kway chap. As usual, expect to have a queue but it's fast moving so not to worry.
 
Pricing is average as it hugely depends on what you ordered.
 
If you are nearby this area and craving for some kway chap you may come over and try if not personally I think you may give this a miss. :)

Ho-Bee Roasted Food 好味烧腊




 
For those who have been to the market at 628 in Ang Mo Kio would know that it is always packed during lunch hours. (well which place isn't packed during lunch hours :P) Be prepared to queue for at least 20 mins for your lunch. Though I often goes to the marker during my lunch break but often due to the long queue, i would settle for something else. Therefore, I decided to come during my dinner instead.
 
 
As you can see, even during dinner time where most of the other stalls are closed there's still people queueing!! As you can see the prices are really cheap. For a plate of char siew rice its only $2. Frankly where are you able to find $2 food that can fill you up as well as satisfy your tastebuds?
 
 
Here comes my long awaited dinner for the day! I ordered the mixture of char siew and roasted pork rice with an additional of braised egg. The achar comes free together with the soup. How much do you think this cost me? Its only $3 !!!!!


 
Here's a close up of my dinner of the day from Ho-Bee Roasted Food.

The rice is soft and fluffy which i liked. Char Siew is ok , I preferred those with slightly charred sides :P This is more of a healthier choice though compared to those that are charred char siews.
The best is the roasted pork. The skin crackles when you first bite it... and the meat isn't tough but tender instead. A great combination of crispness and tenderness of the pork. Braised egg is usual braised egg nothing to rave about. The achar is something that added value to the whole as most of the stalls nowadays does not serve achar or even sliced cucumbers anymore. And with the rate you are paying... I would say its a very good deal!
