Best Hakka Beef Balls @ Syed Alwi

I was never a fan a beef balls until I tried the beef balls at this Hakka stall in Syed Alwi Road.


The beef balls are freshly made by the stall holder himself. The beef balls are served in clear soup with a generous topping for chopped Chinese parsley. The beef balls themselves are bouncy and juicy to the bite.
I also love to order my noodles (usually beehoon) separately or "the dry version" which has a topping on minced pork. Even though the minced pork looks plain, the salty minced meat is a great accompaniment to the noodles. The most popular here is "mi kia" in which I do not really fancy. Oh yeah, don't forget their chilli sauce. Spicy and garlicky. Nice!

Other than beef balls, they also serve a mean "yong tau foo". Whilst it may not be the best, it is certainly better than the normal local stalls because they are also made at the stall itself.


This place also serves other Hakka food such as abacus seeds (made from yam and stir fried with minced pork, mushrooms and black fungus) and "soon kueh" (dumplings with shredded turnip and mushrooms) which is pretty good too.

This stall is located at:
The Beef House
217 Syed Alwi Road,
Gar Lok Eating Hse,
9am-6pm (Closed on Friday)
