There was a new noodle stall in the coffeeshop at Block 442 Clementi Avenue 3. The stall turned out to be Hwa Heng Beef Noodle.
Hwa Heng Beef Noodle was forced to close due to the pandemic. The heritage brand is slowly reopening with 5 stalls in operation now.
I decided to visit the stall in Jalan Besar which was the first stall to reopen. It is inside Earnest Coffeeshop, opposite Jalan Besar Sports Centre.
Located opposite Jalan Besar Sports Centre, it’s about 10-minute walk from either Jalan Besar or Lavender MRT station.
The red signboard with white English and Chinese words is so eye-catching, I saw the stall the moment I stepped into the coffeeshop.
There are only 4 items on the menu, which should be easy for even the most decidophobic:
- Beef Noodles 牛肉粉 (Dry/Soup) [S$7]
- Beef Balls Noodles 牛丸粉 (Dry/Soup) [S$7]
- Beef Noodles with Balls 牛肉粉加丸 (Dry/Soup) [S$10]
- Mixed Beef Noodles with Tendon 牛杂粉加筋 (Dry/Soup) [S$13]
I got Mixed Beef Noodle with Tendon 牛杂粉加筋 [S$13] which comes with a generous amount of beef stomach, beef slices, beef intestines, beef balls and beef tendon.
The rice noodles are chewy and smooth and the broth is so full of beefy umami goodness.
The portion is huge, even a grown male may not be able to finish a bowl of this by himself. Two small-appetite people can share a bowl.
