A visit to the food court brought us to Old Hup Kee, where they satisfy the Singaporean appetite with familiar favourites like Char Kway Teow, Fried Carrot Cake, Hokkien Mee, Fried Oysters and more. We checked out their Yew Tee outlet, though they also have branches in Marine Parade and Punggol.

Here's what we had ordered. A nice variety of Singapore hawker staples on the table, each with its own unique flavor profile.

We ordered the Yuan Yang Carrot Cake to enjoy the best of both worlds. It came beautifully presented, the white version cooked in its classic “island” form, while the black version was served in evenly cut bite-sized pieces. The black carrot cake was garlicky with a nice coating of sweet sauce, while the white portion was fragrant and eggy, with a generous amount of eggs enhancing its flavor.

The Char Kway Teow was rich and dark, carrying that signature smoky wok hei. It was well-balanced with the usual essentials, Chinese sausage, egg, and crunchy beansprouts, all in just the right portions. The sweet sauce tied everything together nicely without being overwhelming.

The Hokkien Mee came looking appetizing with its thickened gravy, and the noodles had clearly absorbed much of its essence. However, the flavors leaned on the moderate side. While still savoury, it lacked the deep umami punch and the distinct prawn-head richness that’s often associated with traditional Hokkien Mee.

Between fried oyster and oyster omelette, my preference leans toward the latter for its generous use of eggs. This version was neatly presented in a rectangular shape and topped with fresh coriander leaves. While I wasn’t expecting too much, it turned out to be a satisfying fix for oyster omelette cravings.

Overall, Old Hup Kee serves up a comforting variety of hawker staples. Each dish carries its own charm, making it a reliable spot when you’re craving familiar flavors and hearty, stomach-warming food.
