This stall is so popular, you'll not miss the long queue when it opens in the evenings. In fact, I was there at 5pm on a Saturday and the queue was already 4-5 persons long !
For $2.50, you have a really big generous plate of char kway teow loaded with cockles and deep-fried lard. The thing about me is, I prefer my plate of fried kuay teow sweetened with lotsa stickily-sweet-type black soya sauce. But Hai Kee's version was e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y light on this. Blame it on the characteristic Teochew habit of light seasoning - the signboard did, afterall, warn 'Teochew' :). So try Hai Kee if you don't care much for your char kway teow's sweetness, or lack of it. Go also, to be entertained by the owner's 'power-kungfu' style of frying his noodles - I don't know how to better describe it - just go see, or should I say hear, it.
Opens from 5pm and closed on Sundays.

Hai Kee Teochew Cha Kua Teow 海记潮州炒粿条
Commonwealth Avenue Cooked Food Centre is actually closer to Margaret Drive and near the Queenstown Library.
Some people refer to this food centre as the 'Margaret Drive' food centre, this photo I took shows the official name and clears the confusion once and for all !
Don't be fooled by the serene quietness around Hai Kee Cha Kua Teow's stall in the afternoon. This stall packs in the crowd when it opens for dinner in the evening.
The action starts at 5pm
