Kway Chap @ Macpherson

Kway Chap (in Teochew) or 粿汁 is another Teochew cuisine in Singapore that could be taken as breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is served with a bowl of flat broad rice sheets in soya soup base and your own selection of braised pig's innards (intestines), tau pok, salted vegetables and some with braised ducks. A good chilli sauce is also a must for kway chap.

The soup is normally made with chinese herbs, spices (like cinnamon and cloves), pork bones and dark soya sauce. The rice sheets for kway chap should be thin, smooth and silky. The rice sheets should be taken together with the soup, as the rice sheets is normally bland.

The kway chap served at Chuan Lai Kway Chap King was different from most of the places I had. This place was a favourite stall by a few of my colleagues and they brought me here for lunch one day.

Chuan Lai has a wide selection of sides for you to choose, they include, braised duck, pig's innards (intestines, stomach, etc.), pork belly, pig's skin, pig's trotters, tau pok. beancurd, salted vegetables. The braised sauce and soup here has a much stronger herbal taste than other stalls and its slightly gooey. Those who like strong herbal taste will appreciate the kway chap here. I like the large intestines here, very well clean and no foul smell. The pig's skin is also good, all fat removed and braised till its real soft, its almost melt in the mouth.
