Torico Kway Chap - Old Airport Road

I believe this is the main outlet, where the patriarch runs this stall with origins in Blanco Court. Whilst they have branches in Hougang and Bedok North run by his sons. Here in Old Airport Road, business seems good enough to justify taking up 2 stalls. Perhaps the only vendor to do so here. 

To start off, is perhaps the simplest but the hardest to perfect - the "kway", flat rice noodles in a light soup. The kway here is thick and smooth, whilst it sits in a flavourful but light soup. Usually this soup ends up tasteless in most other places. Here, it is meticulously prepared, evidently through many years of experience. Even the consistency and bitterness of the fried onions are controlled and complemented with the soup perfectly. 

In a set order for one, you'd get a good variety of Pig Organs laid out on a plate. Most other places do not offer such a variety these days. You have Large and Small Intestines, Pig Stomach, Pork Belly and the standard Dried Beancurd "Tau Pok". 

Large intestines are hard to find and to clean, it is a nice surprise to get springy and clean ones here. Even the Small Intestines were very clean, usually you get the powdery ones. Impressed. 

Most would agree, the most important component of a good Kway Chap must be the Chilli. Theirs is a natural balance, not too sour or overpowering. It has to complement the braise stock. Just enough vinegar and salt for flavour.
