Chai Chee Kway Chap. One of Two Tigers in the Kway Chap Mountain of 216 Bedok North

There are two kway chap tigers in the mountain of 216 Bedok North but both co-exist and thrive with their own fans. Some are diehard loyal while others switch depending on the day - like me lah 😄 This post is about Chai Chee Kway Chap - it tastes great and is excellent value 👍

Stall name: Chai Chee Kway Chap 菜市粿汁

Address: 216 Bedok North Street 1, stall #01-67, Singapore 460216 (Pasar 216 Bedok Central)

There is always a queue at Chai Chee Kway Chap. On this Wednesday morning, I waited 30 minutes which isn't a long time at all for good food.

The stall holders were extremely busy with a long queue of people waiting, yet they allow customised orders 👏👏👏

I requested for all intestines and skin - just big intestine, big intestine head and pork skin. I always eat my kway chap sans fish cake, tau kwa, tau pok, egg, and such non pork items.

Everything here for $6.40 - $3.40 for the set and $3 for the big intestine head add on.

Chai Chee Kway Chap's braised intestine is tender-soft, nicely spongy to the bite. Great texture.

The intestine tasted mildly savoury with subtle spice notes. The intestines were very well cleaned. The intestine infused flavours from the stewing sauce which was made with soy sauce and Chinese spices like this star anise. The infused flavours were nice and did not completely overwhelm the pork's natural taste which I like. Eat bite released a subtle whiff of pleasant soy sauce and spice aroma.

I like Chai Chee Kway Chap's stewed pig skin a lot. Almost all the fat were trimmed away. The sauce infused skin had a nice springy almost crunchy bite even though it was tender. (I prefer pig skin this way than those over stewed floppy soft, almost mushy ones).
