The Noodle Thread

[Ramseth]

Another delicious type of noodles is dry duck noodles.
There's also the soup version or the braised duck version with thick sauce, but I prefer the dry version. Can use either mee kia or the thick yellow noodles.

It's a good dish getting rarer and rarer, since the skill of cooking duck is harder to master and more troublesome than cooking chicken. The best one left longstanding is at Newton Circus. Good dry mee, mee kia or kuay teow with his braised sauce and chilli mix. Never kutok, fairly priced between S$3 to 5 depending on which parts of the duck you want. The side soup served with the dry noodle is very good too, or you can have the noodle in soup, equally good.

Haven't been to Newton Circus for ages, but will keep this stall in mind. Thanks.

I think this stall was doing biz at the old Orchard Rd carpark before he moved to Newton.

Don't know about the Orchard carpark, but this guy has been in Newton at least 20 years. I don't frequent Newton but came to know him because he was regular punter with my brother's bookie boss in the 90s.

Thanks for that.

If you're going to SF, don't miss the Japanese noodles at Mifune in Japantown Kintetsu Mall. They serve most common Japanese dishes but their noodles are most famous, especially soba.

There were two very good prawn noodles stalls in Hong Lim, one called Ah Hui and one called Hokkien Street. Both about equally good and same style, perhaps with Ah Hui having the slight edge. With the recent renovation of Hong Lim, I don't know if they would still be there.

This hawker centre has something for everyone.

Prawn hokkien soup noodles, fried hokkien noodles, a very good bak chor mushroom mee stall which always has a queue, char kway tiao, beef noodle soup, fried beef noodles. ramen, fishball noodles, etc etc.
The only ones missing are cold noodles.

Not forgetting very good claypot rice, zhi char stalls, chicken rice, and lot of other stalls.

Besides sphagetti, how come nobody dicusses Thai noodles too?

The most popular in Thailand being the thin kway teow (called sen lek in Thai). I personally don't like it too much. Guess I'm used to Chinese broad kway teow (called sen yai in Thai) but not so usually used in a dish called ratna, Thai equivalent Cantonese horfun style, and some Thai-Chinese style soup dishes. The thin kway teow seldom seen in Singapore in previous decades penetrated the market here in the 2000s, with many breakfast beehoon mee, bak chor mee and hay mee stalls using it in place of the broad kway teow. It somehow doesn't feel compatible to me and I've never ordered that after a few a tastings. Fortunately, I see no char kway teow stalls using that.

The kway tiew kia( thin type) can be savoured with kway chup in Malaysia! Very smooth n nice..

Yes, in the Malaysia kway teow kia kway chup version, the thin kway teow is certainly better than any Thai or Singapore version. But for kway chup, I still prefer the broad piece version of Singapore. Malaysian kway chup can afford to use kway teow kia because their pigs are freshly slaughtered and their braise flavoring is undiscountably dense. If you have kway teow kia on Singapore kway chup, I wouldn't even want to eat it even if it's free.

Firstly, the Malaysia thin kway teow may be thin in breadth but it's thicker in density. Most Singapore kway chup stalls nowadays use still broad piece kway but the density and quality has become markedly lower.
