Unique Teo-Hok style braised beef noodles with wagyu options at Old Airport Road Food Centre.
J and J Special Beef Noodle is a hawker stall at Old Airport Road Food Centre that has earned a devoted following for its distinctive Teo-Hok style braised beef noodles, a unique creation born from the union of a Teochew husband and Hokkien wife. Founded by William and Wah after the 2008 financial crisis, the couple experimented with recipes using their son as taster until they perfected their signature dish, and they have been serving it to grateful regulars ever since. The braised beef noodle features tender, perfectly braised beef atop noodles with raw onion and coriander, accompanied by a rich soy-based broth. The menu also includes wagyu beef rice bowls, wagyu beef soup with noodles, oxtail soup, braised beef tendon, and beef noodle soup. The wagyu options, while pricier, showcase the stall's commitment to offering premium choices alongside their classic bowls. Each dish reflects the couple's dedication to quality and home-style cooking. For a bowl of beef noodles that tells a story of resilience, creativity, and family, J and J Special Beef Noodle delivers every time. Visit Old Airport Road and taste the love in every spoonful.Operating Hours
