I feel that the key to being a successful hawker is not only to have tasty dishes but also to have the ability to be consistent, giving people a reason to keep coming back.
This really begs the question as to why there are not more curry mee stalls around, seeing that their business is so good!
It’s always interesting to find out for yourself if the highly-lauded food stalls with perpetually long queues are really worth the wait. Inspired by the local television show, Where The Queue Starts, I decided to put myself in one of those notoriously long queues at Hong Lim Market And Food Centre,…
Expect long queues during lunch hours, but they are quite fast.
Everyone in Hong Lim knows this is the most contentious dish in the Hawker Centre - Curry Chicken Noodles.
Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee is over 40 years & recently, I get to try & I must say, it is quite impressive.
One of the chicken curry mee stalwarts in Hong Lim hawker centre. Excellent curry and poached chicken.
I really don't know what is it about Heng Kee curry noodles that make people queue for it. Perhaps Singaporeans who are more health-conscious may prefer Heng Kee because of its lower content of coconut milk. Perhaps it has an authentic flavour that I could not appreciate. But I can confidently say that I definitely won't be coming back for more.
