The kuey teow is not lumpy and the texture is soft and smooth. The broth is adequately flavourful as well!

If it says anything, the quintessential Kai Si Hor Fun is a common pick in this shop; making it a worthwhile visit. Plus, their side of luscious roasted pork does come in as an appetizing condiment.
