Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: No.

18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow consistently draws queues for its rendition of the classic dish.

We note a general consensus on the presence of 'wok hei' and a moist, slightly sweet profile, characteristic of Singaporean-style CKT.

The $6 portion is considered substantial, with $8 and $10 options available for larger appetites or additional cockles.

While some reviewers praise the crispy pork lard, others mention its absence, suggesting some inconsistency.

The stall is known for its meticulous cooking process, which contributes to longer wait times, sometimes up to 30 minutes.

We also observe mixed feedback on service, with some noting a lack of smiles from the staff.

Despite this, many consider it among the best CKT in Singapore.

The kitchen's cleanliness is highlighted as exceptional.

Verdict: Worth a visit for its distinct 'wok hei' and moist style, especially if you can time your visit for off-peak hours to avoid the significant wait.

What customers say

No.

18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow consistently receives praise for its authentic Singapore-style CKT, often cited as one of the best, featuring good wok hei, fresh cockles, and crispy pork lard, though some find it slightly dry or salty.

While prices are considered high, customers frequently endure long queues, especially during peak hours, for the substantial portions.

Service is generally described as efficient but lacking warmth, with the owner meticulously cooking each plate.

When you waited 30 minutes for a plate of CKT you will definitely raise your standards for your CKT......... More to the moist & wet type. Wokhey is not fantastic. Slightly salty. $6/$8/$10 per plate.…
