Teochew Fried Kway Teow @ Commonwealth
Rating: ***1/2
Add: Commonwealth Ave Food Centre. Blk 40A, Commonwealth Ave
Price: S$3 per person
This is a typical queue on a weekday night. So you can imagine how long it could be during weekend! Do note that if I am not wrong, the stall closes on Monday.
This humble stall on the 1st floor of the Food Centre is manned solo by this old uncle. No assistants at all. And he fries every plate individually. I wonder what happens to the queue when uncle has a call of nature.
To me, the kway teow is good but not fantastic. I have eaten from the stall 2x so far. My last visit was back in 2007! I am hence not too sure if the stall is still there. There has been numerous talks that they are going to close this FC soon, but 2 years on, they are still there. Booming in fact. So if you are there and the kway teow stall is closed or on off day, the chicken rice, claypot rice and steamboat (all on the 2nd floor) are famous too!
