If you spot a queue at an old hawker centre made up mostly of sexagenarians, septuagenarians and the occasional octogenarian (although they usually get the privilege of sitting as they wait their turn), JOIN IT STRAIGHTAWAY. Chances are whatever the hawker is dishing out, it's very good. That's how I discovered "Teowchew Kway Tiao Mee" at Whampoa Hawker Centre.
For me, this is "old school" noodles at its finest. My order of "kway teow" and "sek mee" came in an awesomely sweet soup. The generous amount of fried shallots, garlic bits, chopped coriander, spring onions and crunchy pork lard had me loving it even more. And because I'd overheard a couple of customers asking to "加料” (add ingredients), the lemming in me did the same when it was my turn. So I ended up with two halves of a prawn instead of one, plus an extra helping of their fresh, handmade fishcake and fishballs. All for a modest $4. Oh yes, one thing about their fishballs - they really are the smallest and cutest ones I have ever come across!

"Teowchew Kway Tiao Mee" is located at #01-07 inside Blk 91 Whampoa Drive.
