Curry chicken noodles with BB at a hawker stall ($5 each)!
Hawker curry chicken noodles — two bowls of yellow mee + bee hoon in fiery red coconut curry broth with chicken thigh chunks, fishball, fried tau pok and long beans. $5 each.
Lunch with BB — went to a hawker stall for curry chicken noodles. $5 each. The kind of bowl that announces itself by aroma before you sit down. 😋
What was in the yellow bowls ($5 each):
- A nest of yellow mee + bee hoon swimming in a fiery red coconut curry broth — that orange-red colour with the chilli oil slick floating on top.
- Big chunks of chicken thigh with the bone in — soaked through with curry, tender enough that the meat pulls off the bone easily.
- A fishball for the bouncy bite.
- A piece of fried tau pok absorbing the curry.
- A small mound of stir-fried long beans — slightly cooked, still crunchy, draped over the noodles.
Two bowls means full-on family meal vibes — BB took one, I took the other. The bone-in chicken thigh is the proper rustic style; you have to commit to the messy eat. Long beans on top is the hawker stall’s signature touch; not every curry chicken noodle stall does this.
The broth was the headline — lemak from coconut milk but balanced with chilli heat, not so heavy you can’t finish. Stirred in the chilli paste at the centre for an extra kick.
Total: $10 for both.
Overall: 4 / 5. Generous chunks of chicken, proper curry depth, long beans gave the texture contrast. Solid hawker classic done with care. 😍👍🏼
