“Char kway teow has been sort of a comfort food for me since young. One of my favourites, which I have been patronising for almost 20 years, is Hai Kee Char Kway Teow. My cousin introduced this stall to me during my secondary school days, when I was 14 years old.
 
It used to be located in Margret Drive Food Centre with crazy long queues way before opening time, and it has since moved to Telok Blangah Crescent Food Centre. The stall’s version of char kway teow is bursting with see hum and pork lard and despite the long queues, each portion is cooked individually and maintains flavour and consistency.
 
It is well balanced with wok hei and sweetness—I would pretty much say that what makes his char kway teow good is the see hum water. It acts as a binding agent with the egg to give that slippery and messy looking plate of char kway teow its irresistible appeal and flavour.”
