Among the most renowned stalls around, Ah Chuan and wife served for over 50 years, having since handed over the day-to-day running of the stall.
.
They're well regarded for their crisp yet chewy chunks of potato starch batter, fluffy chunks of egg, and juicy large Korean oysters, finished with crunchy parsley.
.
Seasoned with fish sauce, this carries bold smoky eggy savoury sweet salty briny flavour. A tad on the greasy side. The lime juice infused chili helped contrast nicely with its spicy sour zesty tangy kick.

Serving since the 1950s, this stall is now in the hands of the 2nd generation, and until recently, was fairly under the radar. All that changed when the media came calling, citing their rendition for its delicious wok hei / breath of the wok.
.
Each order is fried individually, with the chewy lup cheong / dried cured pork sausage, crunchy bean sprouts, bouncy fish cake, wispy egg, juicy blood cockles, and crisp bits of pork lard, tossed with the wide flat rice noodles and long cylindrical yellow wheat noodles.
.
Carries lovely smoky savoury salty sweet flavours, and while a tad greasy, is completely satisfying. The bits of light char are so yum.
