Being Chinese, there’s something familiar and comforting about seeing this auspicious portrait on the wall. It adds a playful, quirky touch to the space and instantly brightens up the atmosphere.

I’m usually not a fan of peppery soups, as the pepper often overpowers everything else. However, this Pork Stomach & Chicken soup struck a beautiful balance. The addition of red dates and wolfberries enhanced its natural sweetness, mellowing the peppery kick nicely.

The pork stomach was also commendable, well-cleaned and prepared, with no gamey taste at all.

Chicken & Pork Stomach

While the soup base was pork stomach and chicken, we added ingredients like prawn paste to elevate the hotpot experience. The prawn paste was fresh and bouncy, soaking up the rich broth beautifully with every bite.

Alongside the hotpot ingredients, we were also served some ready-to-eat dishes like this refreshing cucumber cold dish. The cucumbers were cut into bite-sized pieces, lightly seasoned, and topped with roasted peanuts for an added crunch.

We had two tables, each fitted with its own stove. While one was dedicated to the Pork Stomach & Chicken soup, the other was used to keep the braised chicken with abalone sauce warm.

The dish was hearty and satisfying, with tender braised chicken complemented by onions and capsicums.

To round off the meal, we had the claypot rice. It was simple yet satisfying, with a decent flavour that paired well with the rest of the dishes, making it a comforting addition to the spread.

Hwa Heng Beef Noodle

A visit to Hwa Heng Beef Noodle at Novena Square with the foodies made for a rather cosy and relaxed evening. The food court was noticeably quiet, with the strong blasting of air-conditioning creating a cool and comfortable setting, almost the perfect contrast to a warm, comforting bowl of beef noodles. The stall itself carries a sense of heritage with its “Since 1948” sign, and the neatly displayed menu featuring their signature bowls instantly whets the appetite. It felt like one of those simple yet satisfying dining moments, where good food and good company come together effortlessly.

Feeling a little thirsty for something comforting, we went for the Sliced Beef Noodles with Beef Balls. The choice of bamboo noodles came in just right, adding a light bite and springy texture to the bowl. The soup carried a distinctly herby profile, clean yet flavourful, making it easy to sip and enjoy throughout the meal. With tender slices of beef and the addition of beef balls, this bowl felt both hearty and satisfying without being overly heavy.

Sliced Beef Noodle with Balls (Soup) - $8

If you prefer a gravy-based option, simply go for the dry version of your chosen beef noodles. The noodles are generously drenched in a rich, gooey gravy that coats each strand beautifully, delivering a deeper, more robust flavour.

It also comes with a separate bowl of beef soup on the side, giving you the best of both worlds, a satisfying dry dish paired with a comforting, savoury broth.

Mixed Beef Noodle - $8

The Tomato Beef Noodle Soup was something rather special to me, as I had not tried this particular broth base from their stall before. The soup carried a bright, tangy profile that was both refreshing and appetising, striking a pleasant balance between savoury richness and a light acidity. Each sip felt comforting yet invigorating, making it an easy bowl to enjoy. Paired with tender slices of beef and a generous drizzle of chilli oil, the flavours came together beautifully, offering a slightly different but enjoyable take on the usual beef noodle experience.

Tomato Beef Noodle Soup - $10

All in all, it was a comforting beef noodle meal that we truly enjoyed. Nothing overly fancy, just simple, honest flavours done right. From the variety of broth bases to the satisfying dry versions, each bowl brought its own charm to the table. Paired with good company, it made for a hearty and fulfilling dining experience that left us pleasantly satisfied.
