One of Singapore’s
signature dishes, char kway teow is an absolute must-try.
Step into any hawker centre and you’re likely to find a
stall or two selling the popular fried flat noodle dish.
Its distinct slightly-sweet caramelised fragrance is often
a crowd-puller; such is the attraction of a dish once known
for its humble beginnings as a simple meal for labourers,
comprising just flat rice noodles fried with dark sauce
and pork lard. Now you’ll find a myriad of other ingredients
like cockles, prawns, bean sprouts and eggs added to the
fried noodles, together with a generous helping of sweet
dark sauce, giving the dish its famed appeal and characteristic
brown-black colour. Some may find the slight sweetness off-putting;
in which it’s possible to request to have less sweet sauce
included, as Singapore-style char kway teow tends to be
relatively sweet. |
