Apollo Fresh Cockle Fried Kway Teow: Wet Wet Wet
To be very honest, this is the ugliest plate of Char Kway Teow I have ever laid eyes on. But it is also the most unique Char Kway Teow I have ever come across.
It is almost like a Hor Fun since the Kway Teow still white in colour and it is swimming in the sweet black sauce gravy. Although the stall's name is Apollo (probably named after the Apollo lunar missions of the 60's) it is better known as the Wet Char Kway Teow of Marine Parade Hawker Centre.
If you like sweet stuff, you will like this Char Kway Teow as the gravy is very much on the sweet side. As I said, the Kway Teow does not taste like it has had enough contact with the wok. But overall, a better than average plate of Char Kway Teow and certainly very unique. 3.75/5
Conclusion
Just gotta try it at least once to decide if you like it or not.

hi.happened to stumble onto ur blog.i love it!
anyways, ah yi hunan restaurant in turf city serves darn good dimsum 11.30am-1pm. and there's kekou wanton noodles at this hawker centre behind ica building. its really good but the wait is painful.
Tried this fried kway teow, I dont like it. It is too sweet. Guess it is because it has only kway teow no yellow mee...
More for those who likes sweet stuff.
Wanton mee? I would suggest you try the one at Margarent Drive FC.
It is located at #01 floor. It is sold by an auntie. (lunch time only) She made the char siew herself and it is self service (Chillie, pork lard, etc ...)
But be careful! because she is not very friendly.
Hi there,
I've been following your blog for quite some time, looking forward to your entries everyday. haha and I secretly hunt and savour the good food u recommended. I would love to join you guys on foodie hunts in future :)
oh yes, lao fu zi char kway teow is the ultimate. the cockles are pretty fresh too!
I will email you to enquire further!!
Godbless!

Boy, i hated this the first time i tried when i was still in sec school a decade++ ago... this qualifies as a total waste of calories... neber bother to give it a second go...
margaret drive wonton mee is worth a try. not bad. i know the auntie, cos her daughter is a friend of mine. and yes, she makes the charsiew herself.
better try before she retires. she was on the verge of retirement a couple years back, but then decided she couldnt bear to give up the business as she was too bored.
single handedly brought up the whole family selling her wonton mee.
ask to put the sweet char siew sauce over the noodles for extra kick.
been having this since 1991, also great char kway teow at beach rd f.c. 1st floor wif alot certs on the signboard. dey serve it wif veg n ikan bilis. mmmmmm great wif teh tarik
The distinct taste of this CKT is the guy uses ONLY kway teow, very garlicky and very very wet.
One man's meat is another's poison. Personally, I hate it. I still prefer Hill Street CKT all the lard all the guilt....hmmm sinfully good.
Hv this very wet kway teow a month ago. Must say I dun quite really like it cos it's too sweet. It does not have the smell of what a normal CKT should have. Still like the Zion road food centre CKT.
Margaret Drive has a Teochew Char Kuay Tiao which always have a long queue during evening time .One man operation. Fresh and big cockles !
Worth waiting even minute for his CKT.
Yes it is very good
