Empress Place Beef Kuay Teow

stir-​fry version of the kway tiao is available at night. You can have it like the traditional char kway tiao (i.e. with cockles, fish cake, etc), or with sliced beef.
The sliced beef version is more like the traditional cockles char kway tiao than beef horfun. Nice and sweet and lots of bean sprouts.
Standard day time beef noodles is still available per my earlier review.

The dry version of this beef kuay teow does not have the gooey gravy that other places have. For this place, kuay teow is dry tossed with their signature chilli, which has salty slightly sourish tinge to it. I like it because its very light and delicate, even the dry version.
The broth is also very good. Very tasty. One of the best around. I always order the mixed meats as i love the different textures that the different grissly bits offers. The chili sauce, which is the same one mentioned earlier, goes very well with the beef. Beef balls are also great.

This version of the popular beef kway teow dish is a Teochew variation of it. Unlike the Hainanese style, which is served with a thick rice noodles and starchy gravy, the Teochew version is beautiful mix of dry kway teow, excellent beef stock, chilli, sesame oil and soy sauce. It’s a simple combination but extremely fragrant.
I usually order the beef and beef ball combination and the beef slices always come perfectly cooked. I love how they are tender but don’t crumble in your mouth. Another thing I must mention is the stock they use. You won’t find any sort of beef soup that tastes like this anywhere else in Singapore, or at least to my knowledge. It really is a beautiful marriage of beef, noodles and soup.

The stall is run by a very friendly couple who are always happy to answer all your questions while preparing your meal. Dry or wet, the beef Kuay Teow here is taste wonderful. If I’m doing lunch, I usually have mine dry and if its dinner, I have the soup. You’ll still get a bowl of soup with your dry noodles so you’ll still get to taste it. When ordering, be sure to inform the uncle or aunty about which ingredients you want. I’m not a big fan of intestines so I just go for beef and balls (uncle’s terminology).
The soup is full of aroma and rich in flavor. The beef is tender and the beef balls are perfect! There is an excellent chilli sauce that complements the experience and I normally dump 2 in the soup for a slightly spicier taste. The chilli is not that spicy for me so use more.
The small beef and balls bowl normally costs about $ 5.50 while the bigger one is $ 6.50.
I’ll definitely keep coming back here for my Beef Kuay Teow cravings!
