Pin Xiang 品香 - Local Fried (Char) Kway Teow @ Chong Pang Hawker Centre in Yishun [Singapore] #pinxiang #charkwayteow #chongpanghawker

To be frank, i am quite a faithful foodie; meaning if i am happy with one particular eatery / stall / restaurant at a location, there's a high chance i would have their food every time i am there.

That's what happened at Chong Pang hawker centre as i often patronize that few stalls like Tian Tian Cooked Food, Chuan Kee Boneless Braised Duck Rice etc. But with travel not being an option, there's a motivation for me to try out new stalls so that this blog can continue to be updated!

I noticed a queue sometimes at Pin Xiang ( 品香 ) whenever i ordered the prawn noodles from Tian Tian Cooked Food and thought it would be worth a try; especially when the dishes on the menu included local favourites [e.g. char kway teow, carrot cake (both black and white), oyster omelette].

Quite surprised to see three different frying pans; guess one is for carrot cake, another one for oyster / prawn omelette and the last is reserved for noodles like char kway teow and punggol mee goreng. No prize for guessing what i am craving for.

Local char kway teow it shall be, with an extra egg!

Departing from my usual, i actually didn't ask for extra sweet sauce although it did appear reasonably dark. One thing i did notice from the onset; the thick of slices of fish cake! No complaint from me as they proved to be satisfying.

When i have char kway teow, it's usually the sweetness mixed with charr-ness that i look forward to having. In this plate, the sweetness wasn't that obvious even though i was caught off guard by the exceptionally strong infusion of wok hei.

Interestingly, while many stalls would stinge on the cockles, Pin Xiang did the opposite by giving four, rather large cockles. However, i didn't find the larger size contributing significantly to the overall flavour; maybe because they didn't seem bloody enough.

There was only one thing that i feel could be improved; the addition of crispy pork lard as i didn't find a single piece at all. Maybe i should bravely ask for extra pork lard in the future, as i always did with my favourite fried kway teow stall at Ayer Rajah Hawker Centre.
