Telok Blangah is known to be one of the sleepier neighbourhoods in Singapore, but Telok Blangah Rise Market & Food Centre is anything but quiet. A small hawker centre that’s often accompanied by the chirping of nearby birds in cages, the centre is home to many stalls that have been there for as long as since the market first opened. And one such stall is Hai Yan Fried Kway Teow Mee.

The stall is run by a husband-and-wife duo, as well as the former’s elder sister. They first learned the know-hows of cooking and managing their business from their father, who ran his own stall hawking xiao cai back in his day. Many of their customers are middle-aged and elderly folks who seem to be regulars.

The menu is kept very simple with only two items available: Fried Kway Teow/Noodle ($3/4/5) and Fried Bee Hoon ($3/4/5). You can opt to add more ingredients ($1) and an egg ($0.70 – sunny side-up or scrambled) to your dish. Perfect for breakfast!

I decided to add a sunny side-up egg to my Fried Kway Teow. The plate was littered with sweet slices of lup cheong (Chinese sausage), crunchy pieces of pork lard which they fry up themselves, fish cake slices and bits of scrambled eggs. The mess of noodles and kway teow had a rather sticky texture and there was that distinct aroma of dark soy sauce and chilli.

There wasn’t much wok hei, and the flavours were a little on the lighter side which seemed to suit the palates of older customers. I have to say the sunny side-up was cooked to perfection in my opinion. The yolk was wonderfully runny and the whites were slightly jiggly, giving the noods a silkier texture when the yolk was broken over them.

The Fried Bee Hoon had the same fixings as the Fried Kway Teow, with just the carbs taking on a different form. The bee hoon was a little too clumpy and dry for my liking but it definitely made it more chewy. There was a stronger breath of wok hei infused into the bee hoon and the seasoning was on-point.

While the kway teow and bee hoon here are not the types I would typically favour, Hai Yan Fried Kway Teow Mee seems to have a cult following of customers who have a taste for these traditional, old-school local favourites. Let us know what you think of their Fried Kway Teow and Fried Bee Hoon should you decide to pop by and give them a go!
