Cheng Fa Fried Kway Tiao, well-liked Bedok Reservoir hawker stall that opens 5 hours solely, closes completely Cheng Fa Fried Kway Tiao

It’s at all times the underdogs that go away silently. Cheng Fa Fried Kway Tiao at 630 Bedok Reservoir Market and Food Centre is one of many low-key stalls that closed not too long ago.

Mr. Lim, the chef, has been cooking char kway teow for 40 years or extra. Albeit not as famed as Hill Street Fried Kway Teow, Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee, or any of the well-known char kway teow stalls, they’ve been recognized as one of many “best char kway teow” stall as properly. They’re simply not as broadly publicised, regardless of the lengthy queues that kind in entrance of the shop. Even Pritam Singh tried it out!

On 25 Mar 2023, a Facebook put up of Cheng Fa Fried Kway Tiao’s vacant stall probed the query of whether or not they relocated or closed. We came upon that the proprietor had settled on a everlasting closure on 7 Mar 2023.

Many feedback within the put up talked about that Uncle Lim suffered a fall and selected retirement afterwards, whereas some talked about that the duo that was manning the stall appeared too younger for retirement. In truth, he needed to endure surgical procedure, which defined the sudden determination.

Even so, I wager this retirement plan was considered for fairly some time by the proprietor himself, so it won’t be that shocking in spite of everything.

In Aug 2022, a loyal buyer of the stall publicised the proprietor’s intention on promoting the shop. In his put up, it acknowledged, “Mr Lim of Cheng Fa Fried Kway Tiao wants to sell away his business and retire”. However, with none updates of the handover, maybe Mr. Lim didn’t discover a appropriate proprietor and thus continued manning his stall.

Unfortunately, these which can be followers of Cheng Fa Fried Kway Tiao will not have the ability to take pleasure in them at their comfort. Uncle Lim fries a moist sort of conventional Char Kway Teow (S$4), with a powerful wok hei flavour that retains clients operating again for extra. The addition of lup cheong and hums inside every plate makes the general dish sweeter and delectable.

See you by no means, Cheng Fa Fried Kway Tiao, and pleased retirement, Uncle Lim!
