18. Greenview Cafe

Greenview Cafe is located within Far East Plaza. They're well-known for their mee hoon kueh and have been operating for more than three decades. Discovering this place now seems like a great idea, doesn't it?

I went for the dry chicken cutlet mee hoon kueh with luncheon meat. The texture of the mee hoon kueh was just right – irregular, chewy, and somewhat dense. It was the standout element of the meal. The noodles came already coated in a sweet and savory dark sauce. I found the sauce to be quite ordinary, lacking anything particularly exceptional. If you don't like mhk, they also have other dishes such as fried rice, noodles, and soups.
