If you’re at Hainanese Village Food Centre, check out the very affordable kway chap from Chao Xiang Cooked Food (02-27). You probably won’t find much information about it online but there’s always a queue and the food sells out pretty fast.

A set meal from this stall only costs $2.80 per person, a very good deal for kway chap.

I visited around 9.30am on a Sunday morning and they already ran out of items such as large intestine and braised pork belly. So literally early bird catches the worm here.

Not all hope was lost though. We had the small intestine, large intestine head, pig skin, fish cake, hard boiled egg, tau kwa (firm tofu) and braised tau pok (beancurd puff). And of course, the kway (broad rice noodle sheets).

The basic to a good kway chap is that the innards must be washed clean and it shouldn’t have a gamey, porky taste. And it was really pleasant that the innards didn’t have that smell.

The kway itself was slightly thicker than it should be. As for the gravy itself, it had a herbal taste.

Will I be back? Yes, if I’m in the area and craving for value for money kway chap. But I wanna try the other stalls there.
