Found : Damn lip smacking good char kuay teow...

Thank gawd for this guy over in old Queenstown Market. It's directly opposit the Queenstown Polyclinic. Follow your nose and the clickity-clang of the spatula hitting the wok. Then search for the stall peppered with awards.

Though the stall is reminiscent of days of yonder (read: old and run down), the reasonably priced plate of drool worthy char kuay teow is worth the long queue! Come early, and expect to queue for at least 20min - no joke.

This guy lovingly cooks every single plate individually.

And the result is a smoky sweetness with tons of eggs, tau geh, garlic ........ and cockles.
Every true char kuay teow lover knows that even if you decide not to eat the cockles, it is a MUST to include it, simply because of the flavour it adds to this luscious dish.

It's best to eat it there and then. FRESH. Refrain from packing. The slippery dark noodles that slither past your taste buds will thank you for it. Your arteries, on the other hand, may think otherwise.

This stall definately has my vote!
