This ‘uncle-auntie’ couple’s Hainanese style Beef Noodles were available in dry and soup variants, with prices ranging from $4 to $6. A delightful bowl was constructed with gooey sauce, succulent beef pieces, slippery kway teow, and a dusting of salty veggies. The starch gravy that coated the smooth rice noodles that could just slip down your throat was the winning portion. It was appetizing but not overly salty.
