Venturing off the beaten path into Geylang

Ok, this entry definitely comes under the Off The Beaten Path category of cuisine exploration around Singapore. It's been many years since I last ventured to this part of the island for a late night supper, and this was the first place that came to mind. You can't really miss it, there's a gigantic read and white signage in front of this old Geylang establishment facing the main road. Just the location of the coffeeshop itself makes for an interesting dining experience where you see locals and foreigners looking for a good bite amongst the prostitutes plying their trade in this seedy side of town. The beef kway teow (stir fried sliced beef with black bean flavored gravy over flat rice noodles) is what everyone comes here for, as the sign says, even though there are quite a selection of local Chinese dishes on the menu. If food is your love, I'd recommend coming here for a meal on Valentine's Day, it's going to be a memorable evening slurping down beef kway teow in this seedy part of town. It's all about the food, you know.
