One time we were looking to have breakfast and stumbled upon some comment on a site telling us there was a “Healthy Kway Teow Mee” somewhere in the Golden Mile Food Center.
We thought that would be a neat trick, considering that this dish is considered to be the unhealthiest food you can possibly turn noodles into due to the liberal usage of pork lard.
So we traveled to the place and it was not hard to find “91 Fried Kway Teow” at all due to the fact that there were TV screens showing all the occurances of the stall in local and area TV. We were used to stalls showcasing every scrap of newspaper in which they were mentioned but this was quite comical.
The dish was ordered and we could watch it being made freshly since we were quite early and there were not too many people around…and since the stall only does the one thing, there was not much to choose from either. What we got was this:
Fried Kway Teow – no pork, no lard
And again the woman and I differ in our opinions. I found it bland and even the one in the Old Market had been better imho. The woman on the other hand liked it better than the others we had tried and told me she would love to get another one before we leave….well, “a matter of taste, said the monkey and ate the soap…”. I did like the rather generous amounts of greens on the table, but that is rather because I generally like stir-fried veggies. As far as I know, such amounts of greens have no business on this dish.
The breakfast was filling despite the smallish portion (there was no great difference in size between large and small) and it set us back S$7.
