It is good to know that some things never change.

Almost 2 years ago, I blogged about Hillstreet Char Kway Teow and even in the early days of the blog, I already gave this old man a 4.75/5 for his Char Kway Teow. I think it was the very first time I awarded a 4.75/5 to any hawker. Now, two years later it is time to post some new pictures of the Char Kway Teow and let some of our newer readers know about this CKT legend.

I think that any self confessed Char Kway Teow fan will need to eat this Char Kway Teow at least once in their lives. After reviewing several other Char Kway Teow stalls, I still haven’t really found any stall that could surpass this old man’s plate. Since Char Kway Teow isn’t exactly Cardiac Friendly Food, I always tend to tell myself that I shall only eat half a plate so that I can enjoy the flavour but not feel too guilty after that. But I need to confess that every time I come here, I always end up with an empty plate! Really can’t help it. 4.75/5

Mr Ng still looks as feisty as before and now even with 46 years of frying experience under his belt, he still looks like he’s got a few more years in him. Unfortunately, there is no successor to the throne, so it is only a matter of time before another great hawker name becomes just a distant memory.

Conclusion

I have heard some people complain that they don’t want to travel from the West all the way to Bedok to eat a plate of Char Kway Teow. Well, you can’t really call yourself a serious foodie in that case can you?
