Hai Nan Xing Zhou Beef Noodles
August 11, 2012
Hai Nan Xing Zhou Beef Noodles（海南星洲牛肉粉）has been around for about 60 years. They started from Cuppage Centre many years back and later move Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Center about 15 years ago.
I don’t usually go for beef noodles because most of them has a very strong beef stench which I really hate. But this is a stall that my dad (who is a hainanese) raved about, so I thought why not give it a try.
This stall is still operated by two elderly Hainanese uncles who are very friendly. Queues start forming before lunch time and now I know why is that so.
Firstly, the beef is very fresh and they do not add any tenderiser to the meat. They are sliced thinly and slightly blanch with the water. No marination or whatsoever. Most importantly, the soup is continuously simmered for many days, hence it is very sweet!
The beef was cooked to perfection, not too tough neither does it have the stench. I like it dry because I love to mix the dark thick sauce with laksa noodles and salted vegetables. The chilli sauce with lime gave it an additional oomph.
