My Singapore Food Cravings (1): Stir Fried Noodles - Hong Kong Style
I told mom not to cook too much when I was back in Singapore as I wanted to eat stuff that I don’t know how to cook or food that I cannot find in the Bay Area.
The above is a picture of Sam Lo (it’s in Cantonese, pronounced as “some loh”). I think it refers to the trio mix of noodles (thick bee hoon), fish slices and mung bean sprouts, stir fried in a hot wok and mixed with some broth and corn starch.
I like the smoothness of the fish slices (I wonder what fish they use?) and the thick bee hoon. I needed to add more dashes of light soy sauce and green chilli as the dish was not salty enough. That aside, it was a pretty satisfying meal for my first “hawker” food for my Singapore (food) trip.
I was there way before the lunch crowd arrived, hence the premises looked empty.
Hong Kong Street (Hock Kee) Seafood Restaurant
Blk 117 Commonwealth Drive
#01-733
11am - 2pm, 5pm - midnight
Tel#: 64753558, HP: 9735 9804
Hehe… Please don’t be mislead by the word “restaurant” here, thinking it’s some fancy schmancy posh eatery. It’s basically what we call a “coffee shop” or “tze char” stall and has other stalls too, like the boneless chicken rice stall (inside, right) and drink stall (inside, left) you see in the picture.
This “restaurant” used to be called Hong Kong Street (Chun Kee) Seafood Restaurant. The owners changed but the new owners maintained the “Hong Kong Street” brand name. The original Hong Kong Street (Chun Kee) has moved to Alexandra Village.

I’m hoping to visit Hong Kong someday. I have never been back since our family left when I was a wee lad.

Wow! Generous portions of fish slices!

Tiga! Yes, the East Coast HK Street Chun Kee is under the same umbrella as the Alexandra Village one. However, an ex-colleague of mine who ate there said their standard has dropped.
RM - *bow*
DF - I’ve been to HK a couple of times, but have yet to try their roadside food stalls. No guts.
PP - Yeah. Very smooth too!
