Hawker stall at Tiong Bahru Market frying up wok-hei-rich char kway teow with cockles, lap cheong, and bean sprouts.
Cai Mao Fried Kway Teow is a stall inside the iconic Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre that specialises in Singapore''s most beloved stir-fried noodle dish. A plate of their char kway teow arrives fragrant with wok hei, the flat rice noodles tossed with dark soya sauce, lap cheong, cockles, bean sprouts, and egg in the traditional style that has made this dish a hawker classic.The stall typically operates during standard hawker hours, and like most popular stalls at Tiong Bahru, it can draw a queue during peak breakfast and lunch periods. The preparation is straightforward and honest, with the cook working a single wok to turn out plates of steaming noodles one batch at a time.
If you are making the pilgrimage to Tiong Bahru Market, Cai Mao''s char kway teow is a solid pick for that smoky, savoury plate that defines the Singapore hawker experience. Pair it with a kopi from a nearby drink stall for the full experience.
