Our take: Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow garners mixed reviews, with some patrons noting an improvement in recent months, citing better wok hei and balance.
However, consistency appears to be an issue, with some experiences describing uneven cooking and an unbalanced flavour profile.
The Char Kway Teow is often described as being on the drier, more savoury side, which might appeal to those who prefer a less oily, Penang-style CKT.
Portions are frequently mentioned as being small, even for a 'large' order, which can be disappointing given the price point (e.g., $11 for a large with added hum).
Wait times can stretch to 20-40 minutes during busy periods, and many reviewers feel the dish, while not bad, doesn't justify such a long queue.
While the cockles are generally well-cooked and plump, the overall consensus suggests it's a reliable option for those who prefer a drier CKT, but perhaps not a destination meal worth a significant wait.
Verdict: Best for those who prefer a drier, savoury Char Kway Teow, but be prepared for potentially long queues and manage expectations regarding portion size.

What customers say
Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow garners mixed reactions, with some customers appreciating the improved wok hei and generous cockles, especially for those who prefer a drier, savoury style.
However, common complaints include long queues (30-40 minutes), small portion sizes even for 'large' orders, and an overall underwhelming taste that many feel doesn't justify the wait.
Consistency in cooking quality and flavour balance, particularly between sweet and savoury notes, is also a recurring concern.

Paid 11 for large place with added hum. I guess this is as good as it gets for CKT, still underwhelming though. Was it worth the 30-40mins queue? Not for me, maybe I’m just not a massive fan of the di…
