Feng Ji Kway Chap Has $2.50 Kway Chap In Kallang

Feng Ji Kway Chap has $2.50 kway chap in Mountbatten

There are few things as soul-soothing as a hearty bowl of kway chap, but finding a delicious, budget-friendly version makes it all the more comforting. In today’s climate, where even a cai fan can cost up to $8, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find value-for-money meals that also deliver on quality. That, however, is exactly what Feng Ji Kway Chap offers. 

17 Best Kway Chap Stalls In Singapore To Try, Including Stalls That Open Till 3am

Located in the lesser-known Jalan Batu Hawker Centre, Feng Ji Kway Chap may require a bit of a walk to get to, but the journey is well worth it. Founded in 2012 by a hawker from Perak and his wife, the stall was once regarded as a hidden gem in its early years, before gradually gaining a loyal following among nearby residents and kway chap lovers across Singapore.

Their kway chap sets are priced at just $2.50—a price that feels almost unfathomable in today’s economy. You will get a substantial bowl of kway paired with all the essential fixings, including pork belly, intestines, braised egg, and tau pok. 

Food at Feng Ji Kway Chap

The kway is the cornerstone of any good kway chap, and they truly nailed it here. The silky, delicate noodle sheets were slippery enough to constantly slide off your chopsticks. With the owner constantly dipping the rice sheets into the broth, they take on a darker hue as they soak up its rich flavours, making them savoury enough even on their own. The dish is then finished with generous lashings of fried garlic, adding an extra layer of texture and fragrance. 

As for the broth, you can taste the depth of flavour in the rich braising liquid, which never comes across as overly salty or heavy. Each mouthful delivered nice herbal notes, with the broth coating the noodle sheets nicely. 

It is said that most of the prep work is done at 6am, and you can certainly taste that in every ingredient. The pork belly struck a perfect balance between melt-in-your-mouth richness and tender lean meat, while packed with juices and umami. 

Dip it into their house-made chilli for a burst of tanginess and a subtle spicy kick, which complements the heartiness of the meal well.

Another highlight was the small intestines. The narrow, tubular pieces offered a satisfying bite and highlighted how carefully they are cleaned and braised, with none of the usual gamey aftertaste. Instead, they carried a slightly creamy texture that makes them surprisingly moreish. The platter was also accompanied by braised egg and tau pok, rounding off what was a very substantial meal at an affordable price point.
