Kheng Fatt Hainanese Beef Noodles – An Authentic Bowl With Skilfully-Cooked Beef Slices
August 11, 2019
With a stallfront that’s plastered with certificates and article reviews, Kheng Fatt is not unknown in Golden Mile Food Centre. Interestingly, it does not allow orders of beef soup or beef balls soup without noodles. Kheng Fatt is as authentic as it can be — their noodles are how Hainanese beef noodles are supposed to be.
I’ve been visiting Zheng Fatt for years and I’ve always enjoyed its dry beef noodles. However, this time, I decided to try the Beef Mixed Noodles soup ($6). The translucent broth packed a strong beefy flavour, but was not overpowering. The smooth slippery tendon and chewy beef stomach (perfect with its chilli and lime) were evidently clean and did not have any stench at all. The beef ribs were quite similar to pulled beef but more tender and slightly fatty. The ribs are braised like a stew beforehand, thus an additional savouriness becomes apparent as you bite into it. The beef slices were cooked to medium well and still slightly pinkish.
I still prefer the dry Beef Mixed Noodles ($6) to the soup version. The thick gooey gravy that coated every strand of the thick beehoon makes every mouthful slurp-worthy! There is also a nutty aftertaste from the addition of peanuts. What a hearty bowl! For the amount and variety of ingredients, I feel that $6 is reasonable. For those who love meatballs, you got to try their beef balls too! The beef balls are firm and just delicious!
Mr Cheng plans to impart all his skills, and leave the stall, to his daughter. I’m positive that Mr Cheng’s daughter will be able to whip up a good bowl of Hainanese beef noodles too.
