Curly King, Upper Boon Keng Road

Curly King, Upper Boon Keng Road Shifu 5654

Curly King has a menu that is set up with permutations very similar to King of Fried Rice and Fried Rice Story. The difference is that it's fried instant noodles here. Dude at the stall (Shifu 5654 coffeeshop, 11 Upper Boon Keng Road) looked like he didn't want to be around or speak beyond what was absolutely necessary. This happened on 2/8/2024 at almost 7pm if anyone wanted to know. 😂😏

Curly King, crab

The noodle with the crab's edible. Not much texture or mouthfeel from the protein because...minced crab is minced crab. Meat has flavour but it wasn't exactly the greatest of quality. For the price they were charging, I knew not to expect more. What rubbed me off was that the tobiko which was chargeable at a dollar for the other plates is automatically included here. We made to pay for them because I'm sure it wasn't free. What if we didn't want tobiko with the crab meat?

Curly King, mala chicken chop egg tobiko

Mala noodles wasn't 麻 nor much 辣. While I've also learnt not to expect much from mala flavoured stuff here, there are those that do a better job. For the record, there was more kick from the mala seasoning at Fried Rice Story. Not a fan of their fried chicken because of the ginger in the five spice flavoured marinate.

As a minor consolation, I had gotten molten yolk for the fried egg. Oh, the fried instant noodles were okay tasting by the way. I'd consider them again only if they are in the vicinity and I didn't have to queue for it.
