Geylang Lorong 9 Beef Kway Teow

Tamago took me to try this Beef Kway Teow which he claims is a 'Must-Try'. Waiting time wasn't long. We ordered $5 each which is the minimum price. At first, I thought the portion was small. Hah, but after I finished the whole plate, I was damn bloated and can't eat anymore. There's a generous portion of beef and some black beans. So i figured a plate of 'si zup' horfun at any Zhi Char stall costs $4. So a dollar more for the generous servings or beef, the price is reasonable. The gravy is damn thick, but after some time it'll get a little watery, most probably because of the Horfun (which lose it's water). I guess the Horfun is handmade looking at how the Horfun is cut. Beef was tender, guess the chef/cook put quite alot of cornstarch on the beef, but there's no lumpy cornstarch in the gravy which is good. However, one thing I was looking for, or tasting for in this case, is the "Wok Hei"(the heat from the wok). There'll be this distinct smell of a little bit chao ta, but of couse it's not chao ta lah. Overall a rating of 8/10 ,most of the points for the beef.
