A tasty dish of preserved veg hor fun by a conscientious chef with years of experience under his belt. I appreciate that he still takes the effort to ensure consistency in each plate of hor fun served by not frying more than two portions each time to maintain the right wok hei-ness.
Have been enjoying this dish by uncle since his days in Empress Market aka Farrer Road Hawker centre.
$6 order here with four mid-size prawns, filling enough for a meal. Despite the use of cai por, preserved veg in this dry fry hor fan, the flavour is not salty nor does it leave me thirsty at the end of the meal. Hor fun does not tastes oily too.
Texture and flavours holds well even for takeaways.
No digital payment available, cash only for now.
Also, do take note there is another copy-cat stall a stone throw away in another colour section touting the same menu. Go for the real McCoy I would suggest. 😉
saw online about this particular stall in Chinatown smith street hawker Centre that sells preserved turnip Hor Fun. Notice on their signboard that they have only 3 items on the menu. the cai por hor fun comes in either prawn or oyster and its SGD$6 as well as the prawn paste chicken.
Ordered their horfun with prawn. The stall owner fry the horfun individually and upon order. He fry the horfun skillfully, alot of smoke emitted from the wokhei.
Taste wise, strong wok hei taste and the cai po taste is prominent. if i didn't remember wrong, there was 4 prawns inside the horfun. Portion wise, the horfun could be more.
Second visit to this stall. First time was closed but saw the uncle as he said he hurt his hand.
Finally got the chance to try it. A pretty unique dish, quite a bit of wokhei, price is a little expensive but hey there are 4 prawns on the plate.
It's like eating an extended version of carrot cake. Love the crunchiness of the chye poh in the dish. The hor fun was also fried with some crispiness on some parts in the dish.
Would love to visit and try the prawn paste chicken next time. For now it's too much to order for 1 person.
I have never tried LiXin Teochew Fishball Noodles before. Since we passed by the restaurant, we decided to give it a try.
There was a long queue, so we thought we would use the self-service kiosk to order our food. Tip: Ordering at the counter is much faster! LOL.
Perhaps because the cooks were rushing through several orders, they weren’t the most pleasant people around. We decided not to be bothered by their cold remarks when we tried to ensure they got our add-ons and special requests correct.
Anyway, the noodles were not bad, although I was slightly disappointed that the soup wasn’t as flavorful as it should be. It was rather bland.
I also wish the portion could be a little larger considering the price we were paying.
We will still come back again, just not as frequently as we would like to, due to the cost per serving.
Had the dry mince meat and fish ball noodles (kway teow and yellow noodles), and it was delicious. Slightly too oily for my liking, though, but other than that, it's ok.
Fast service by friendly staff. Settings are quite limited, so you might have to share tables with others during the peak hours.
I would like to compliment the staff member who diligently clears the tables and assists customers in finding seats, even during the busy lunch hour with limited seating space. She warmly welcomes every customer and expresses her thanks for their patronage when the customers finished their meal. She ensures the tables are cleaned thoroughly and thoughtfully arranges the seating to accommodate groups as best as possible. Her customer service is truly exemplary! She is really an asset you should cherish.
Had The Folks Favourite Noodles with a Coke at LiXin Teochew Fishball Noodles, located on B1 of Chinatown Point. Total was SGD 10.90 — super worth it!
The noodles were flavorful, the fishballs were bouncy and fresh, and the whole bowl was just satisfying. Really loved the combo of ingredients.
The shop wasn’t crowded when I visited, and the staff were friendly. Food came out pretty fast too.
Highly recommend if you're around Chinatown and craving some quality local noodles at a good price!

The consistency and taste reflect skilled craftsmanship, making them a standout choice for both home cooking and street food enthusiasts. Highly recommended for those seeking an authentic and delicious fish ball experience!
There are several types of noodles, ranging from big to small, and various levels of spiciness. I chose the smallest noodles with no spice, so they served them with tomato sauce. They tasted really good—the fishball was not too oily and had a strong fish flavor. There were many local Chinese grannies there when we came. Will try again
