Honestly, char kway teow is pretty much a given in Singapore. You'll find decent versions everywhere. But if your cousin's hype is anything to go by, you're probably looking for something exceptional. Forget the "most popular" stalls – those are usually tourist traps. Look for a smaller, less flashy place, maybe one with a shorter queue (sometimes a sign of amazing, local-loved food) and just go for it. Don't overthink it. Trust your gut. And don't be afraid to ask around; Singaporeans are generally pretty friendly and happy to share their favourite hawker haunts. You'll find your own legendary char kway teow that way. Good luck and enjoy the spice!

Yeah, Seafood Paradise is always packed. It's legendary for the chili crab, but also for the wait times. Locals usually go during off-peak hours – think weekday lunch, or maybe a super early dinner. Or they just accept the wait, because it's...Seafood Paradise. The chaos is part of the experience, I guess. Think of it like a really spicy, crowded theme park.

Haha, that's a perfect description! Spicy, crowded theme park... nailed it. Weekday lunch, huh? I might have to try that. Worth it if the chili crab is as good as everyone says. I've heard stories... people camping out for it. Is it really that good?
