Fishball kway teow noodles at a hawker stall ($5.50)!
Hawker dry fishball noodles — yellow mee + kway teow with fish balls, sliced fishcake, minced pork, bean sprouts and scallions. $5.50.
Lunch hawker stop — went for a mixed fishball noodles plate ($5.50). The old-school combo of two noodle types + the fishball family is one of those Singapore staples that never goes out of style. 😋
What was in the black bowl ($5.50):
- A bed of yellow mee + flat kway teow mixed together — slick with the signature dark sweet-savoury sauce.
- Generous spread of bouncy white fishballs — two big ones + a smaller bouncy one for the size mix.
- A piece of soft sliced fishcake for the chew.
- A pile of minced pork at the side — savoury, well-seasoned.
- Crunchy bean sprouts distributed through the noodles.
- A scatter of chopped scallions for the aromatic finish.
- A side bowl of clear soup with floating scallions for the alternating sips.
What I love about this style: the two-noodle combo means every spoonful has a different texture. Kway teow slips, yellow mee chews — same sauce coating both. The fishballs were the proper bouncy bite, not the soft mushy kind.
Total: $5.50. Hawker pricing for the upgraded mix.
Overall: 4.2 / 5. Noodles had the right slick coating without going oily, fishballs had proper bounce. Honest old-school plate at a fair price — the kind of hawker meal you don’t think about much, just enjoy. 😍👍🏼
