Good meals usually attracts an extended queue, and whereas I’m not normally prepared to hitch snaking queues, this well-loved hawker stall simply would possibly change my thoughts. Old Teochew, a humble stall promoting yummy bowls of mee siam and satay bee hoon, just lately opened a second outlet at Block 829 Tampines Street 81 on 15 Dec 2022— one other level for the East siders!
Originally positioned at 20 Ghim Moh Road Market & Food Centre serving satay bee hoon and mee diam, the stall has been run by the 2012 Golden Age Talentime winner and his spouse for the previous 6 years. However, don’t count on him to croon at each order, as Old Teochew is understood for his or her lengthy queues with the typical order taking roughly 10 to fifteen minutes to arrange.
The newest outlet will retain the unique menu of Mee Siam (S$3.80) and Satay Bee Hoon (S$5.50/S$7.50). When our colleague, Aaron, visited their authentic outlet, he tried the Mee Siam which got here with a boiled egg lower into 2, tau pok, tau geh, ku chye, a dollop of sambal chilli, fried tiny dried shrimps and bee hoon doused in a thick reddish gravy.
The bee hoon had the proper chew and the tau geh and tau pok made every mouthful extra attention-grabbing with their various textures. The fried tiny dried shrimp will hit you want mini smoky umami-flavoured bombs. Accompanying all of these elements is the sauce that had the best steadiness of candy and bitter notes.
We didn’t get to strive the Satay Bee Hoon as they didn’t promote these on Thursday, however fortunately, the brand new outlet will serve them day by day (or till they’ve run out). It is alleged that Satay Bee Hoon sauce takes on a extra curry-oriented flavour, with a nutty and peppery style.
Hopefully, with two shops, the queues are shorter this time round.
