Mr Wong Seremban Beef Noodle: The One and Only?
With smart, carnineviand and iwatch_ueat
According to the stallowner, Mr Wong, this is the one and only Seremban Beef Kway Teow in Singapore. That's according to him, but as far as we know this is certainly a very unique tasting beef kway teow.
The dry version is sweeter than the local version. Sweet black sauce and other condiments are added to the bee hoon before he adds the beef sauce. The sauce is more sweet than beefy, but I found it quite nice since I like my food a little on the sweet side. I like the peanuts and sesame seeds that you help yourself to. It is certainly very different from the other beef noodles I have eaten. 4/5
The soup version is also sweeter than our local version. The extra sweetness comes from the carrots and radishes in the soup which has got a sweet beefy aroma when it arrives on your table. I found it to be quite a satisfying bowl of soup. 4/5
Conclusion
Certainly very unique and it is probably true that it is the only one in Singapore. Good for those who like things sweeter, but if you are looking for the beefy umami rush, you might be disappointed. But overall it is still quite a satisfying bowl of beef noodle.

Lol I find this so cute :)
wah lau!! e first picture looks so delicious!!! *yum*
Hey! You should try 'Kallang Sliced Fish Soup' (#01-133 i think), which sells yummy and healthy(awarded Healthier Choice) fish soups at a rare and reasonable price of $2.50 per bowl(you hardly can find anything like that now!)..it usually attract long queues during lunch hours..it closes on Monday i think.. yeah, should give it a try! =)
I prefer the soup because owner added carrots and radishes to sweeten the soup (thus less sugar). If you add the 'kiam chye' then you gat a more 'shiok' flavour. I saw a couple who refilled the 'kiam chye' 2 times (free flow).
This beef noodle (I've only tried the soup though) is at first a bit bland, but it grows on you. Tastes very healthy and "cheng" (light). Hey, hope to see more Marine Parade food centre reviews! :D
Just ate this the other day! I found the beef nice and tender. And I agree, the sauce for the dry noodles is nice and sweet - and not too starchy either.
yup...been working at the nearby Popular for nearly a month now...before school restarts...
I couldn't do without eating a bowl of it every two days. That's one thing that I think I will miss alot T.T
This is 90% equivalent to the genuine Seremban beef noodles, which was a rave with both Malaysians and Singaporeans since the 50's and 60's. The new generation Seremban beef noodle stall is now in the new market (2nd Floor) in Seremban and is called rather cutely the "747" stall. the Singaporean foodies of the 60's would always stop-over in Seremban to have their fix beofore proceeding to KL et al. The current stall at the Marine Parade market serves a decent imitation of the Seremban version, except for the absence of the "lou zee fun" (pure rice noodles), which btw is laborious to make, but which if available, soak in all the flavours of the beef sauce. (Remember the famous Seremban Hakka mee?). Unfortunately, to cater to Singaporeans, Wong is now also using the other types of noodles viz., kway teow, yellow noodles, etc + even rice!). Shows why traditional favourites sometimes have to give way to pragmatism! Pity, as the "lou sze fun" would have made his beef noodles unique and almost like the fab Seremban version.
Right to point out that the noodle is different, but thought the Seremban version should be with "lai fun" (the long variety)?
The stall was just featured on Channel 8's Where the queue starts.
To my surprise, it only got 4/7 thumbs up, which lead me to question their credentials, especially this one guy, who said that the sauce did not go well with the noodles.
Otherwise, they are accusing the noodles of being too bland, or that the beef were too soft.
They seriously don' know how to appreciate good food.
