My opinion:

Khoon Kee sells fried kway teow, prawn noodles and pork rib noodles (both dry and wet versions). Their fried kway teow is so good that it is often sold out by 17:00 (5 p.m). I arrived at the stall at around 18:00 (6 p.m) and was unsurprisingly told by the friendly uncle that the fried kway teow was sold out. He highly recommended their wet prawn and pork rib noodles. I was a bit unhappy when told that there was an additional cost of $0.30 for takeaway packaging.

When I reached home to check out the food, I was happy with with the food quality but not with the quantity. The prawns and pork ribs were juicy and tender. Pork ribs were soft but not to the extent where you could eat the bones. The soup was flavorful and contained the full essence of the prawn heads. The food would have a higher rating if the owners gave out more food ingredients. There were only 2 prawns, 2 pork ribs and truly miserly amount of noodles. If you are a prawn or pork rib noodles fan, make sure to order the bigger option.

Ways for the owners to improve their food ratings:

Add more meat and noodles for future customers.
