Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee

Nice curry chicken mee. Friendly grandmother takes order. $7.50 for normal size, comes with 4 chicken pieces, 2 fish cake, 1 potato. Arrived 1140am Monday and queued 25minutes. It wasn’t a long queue with 9 persons but productivity is poor. I found the chicken tender and nicely cooked. The curry soup was a bit too sweet for me. You can grab a coffee from the next door stall while waiting. This food market has poor ventilation so its hot and stuffy. Be prepared for clothes to smell.

It's painful to watch as it's so obvious the team are purposely dragging time and on slow mo JUST TO ENSURE there is a Q. Just Omg at times. The cook Kept looking to check the Q and decide to be slow or fast. Waste of time to be their Q poles indeed. At 1 stage, both of staff just left and went behind...and all of us in Q just remain n wait... At least make it not so obvious? Massage the chickens for a workout etc?

I really like the robust, aromatic curry that is light enough to slurp directly from the bowl, yet intensely savory and rich. And the soup levels up signficantly when you add some of their smoky sambal chili! I always go for beehoon and mee here, which helps to absorb the curry flawlessly. The toppings are great too - the chicken is tender, and the potatos are nice and soft. And for some reason, the fishcake here tastes amazing! I’ve posted more photos and some tips on visiting this stall on my Instagram @iamgettingfat. Do check it out :)

Another Michelin guide that failed to meet expectations. I have never been bothered to write a review unless an extremely unpleasant event occurred. This is $7.80. Guess the $10 options wont be of any better. $7.50 all cannot but $10 suddenly all can. Owner package it as his dad principle. This is hong lim. Many better food options out there. Waited for Cantonese delight the queue is long but the staff treated you properly when it’s your turn. Cheaper, food nicer and worthy of the wait. People pay $$ for the good food and services. You get none from this oversized man. Keep harping his dad was a man of principle. That Perfectly fine and took the $7.50 option. All the long queue for this makes you feel silly. Please try your best to identify the chicken part. Return back to the stall and the owner ask me what’s wrong with these chicken parts. Seriously? Last time $5.50 I never try before. $7.50. Good bye. I told him to keep it , I don’t want it anymore. Instead of being a decent human being, he turn hostile, I didn’t even ask for a refund or re-do. He’s right, I believed his dad was a man of principle and served good food while he only knows how to keep emphasized on it and force you to upgrade to $10. Picture says everything. This is disgusting. Just look at the chicken he sold and he find nothing wrong at all. I paid $7.80. don’t serve customer nonsense. Didn’t ask for refund. Owner turn into a shouting contest. I’m done with this place. After 20 years finally boss and brought shame to the stall. First and last time visiting. Lovely experience. I don’t think your dad teach you to be rude to customer.

Having eaten the upstairs Ah Heng curry nodules, I decided to try this below. A lot of people claim this is better, even my own parents. However taking the first sip of the curry gave a hint of medicinal taste, which threw me off. It tasted abit strange to me honestly. However, the plus point is that the ingredients taste better. Chicken was poached well and tender, and you get more generous ingredients. Personally I prefer the one upstairs(ah Heng), and this is of course my personal preference. My reason is that, when you have been away and crave curry noodles, you start to look forward to the day you get to eat them. And a certain expectation of taste builds up. You expect a certain taste because that’s the wonderful memory you have of curry noodles. For me when I eat this, it doesn’t fulfill my taste expectations and throws me off with the medicinal background taste.

Heng Kee (叻记) is quite famous for its chicken rice, noodles, and other Malaysian/Singaporean dishes. The restaurant has a casual, traditional hawker-style atmosphere; it looks simple but is quite popular.

This is the first curry chicken noodle stall here in Hong Lim. The others are copies. This stall’s owner is easily the second or third generation and from the looks of it the next generation is already helping out. Great curry flavor and chef really takes his time to ensure the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the curry. I remembered once a lady in queue behind me complained that it took too long. Guess good food shouldn’t rush. Chicken pieces are tender and moist with curry. Lots of tau pok and even the fish cake slices are good. So don’t go upstairs to the copies. Just queue and be patient.

I have eaten Heng Kee 3-4 times, and I have usually preferred this over Ah Heng upstairs when the queue isn't too long. Since I was in the area at 11am on a weekday I decided to join the short queue. Its prices now (as of March 2026) is $7 for the small bowl and $9.50 for the big bowl. (Ah Heng in comparison sells their bowls at $7, 8, 9). The aunty taking orders is straight talking, no nonsense. I asked for a $7 bowl initially and requested for breast meat, to which she replied that there is no choosing of meat for the small bowl. She became alittle friendlier when I said I would order the $9.50 bowl with breast meat. The customer behind got told off when he wanted to change his order of noodles to beehoon. Maybe it was too early, or the broth was cooked long enough, but it was more watery than I remembered (yes curry mee soup should be watery but this was almost void of coconut milk), the chicken was average, or even slightly overcooked. This was quite a fair bit off than when I had it a few months ago. Unless you are craving for curry mee specifically, there are other good options in this food centre you can prioritise
