Mdm Neo Suan Kee had first started the legendary ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ผ๐ in Pulau Tikus back in 1960. Back then, her rendition of the fried rice noodle dish was unique in the sense that she incorporated squid rings, besides the usual prawns, cockles and Chinese waxed sausages.
Mdm Neo has given up the frying duties to her grandson, Jon Chong Wei Tuck, 37, nowadays.
Not content with sitting around idle, the very sociable octogenarian still busied herself by preparing beverage orders for Sin Hwaโs customers.
๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ธ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ remains one of the best-tasting around - itโs moister and less greasy than most other renditions in town.
๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐๐ฎโs location on Burmah Road is pretty strategic - only 3 minutesโ walk from the Pulau Tikus market. Itโs across the road from the Pulau Tikus police station.
Another one of Mdm Neoโs sons, Chong Yee Chye, runs the Sin Hwa char koay teow stall at the Pulau Tikus Market evening food court. Itโs one of the most popular stalls in town and, pre-COVID days, could entail up to an hourโs wait!
