Lorong 9 Beef Kway Teow @ Geylang Lorong 9

When Singaporeans think of Beef Hor Fun, the first place which comes to mind is always Geylang Lorong 9. This Lorong has long been linked to Beef Hor Fun for many many years.

Almost a decade ago before the coffeeshop was renovated, the cooks and serving staffs were all aunties, and is a all-women business. Now, men has replaced most of the cooks in this coffeeshop.

The killer beef hor fun. Although many people commented that standards have dropped, but this is still one of the better versions in Singapore. The cook first flash fry the kway teow with boiling oil and some soya sauce until it has lot's of wok hei. Then the aunty scoop a bowl or two of the sinful gravy with lot's of over-tenderised beef slices onto the plate. The result is a meal on its own. The cheapest (for 1 person) is S$9, but I feel it is worth the price.

I also like their Sweet Sour Pork. The pork are deep fried with a special crispy coating not found in most places, yet you cans till taste and bite into the tender pork. The sauce is also well done.

A great place to enjoy Beef hor fun and some tze char dishes if you are around the area. But try to avoid this place on Fri and Sat night as they will be very crowded and busy.

Oh, while you are here, you can also order the famous frog leg porridge and oyster omelette from across the small road. They will serve you the dishes across their coffeeshop. And vice-versa too.
