[CLOSED] Belly Lucky Noodle (Hong Lim Market & Food Centre)

Al-dente cooked curly noodles topped with lava egg, prawn dumplings, fatty char siew and granny's braised minced meat. The dumplings are handmade and generously filled with prawns, pork and chestnut. Springy strands of kolo mee are well tossed in a sweet and savoury sauce with chilli. The only disappointment was the four pathetic and small slices of char siew served on my plate otherwise everything else was good and worth a revisit 》$5

This stall is pretty popular during lunch time, be prepared to queue! For $5, you get a generous portion of kolomee with dumplings, egg and charsiew. I went for the original sauce and no chilli as the chilli is really spicy! (They do offer 3 spice levels though)

The kolomee was springy and was topped with a small bit of minced meat and spring onion. The minced meat was the cherry on the cake, wish there was more. The dumplings were yummy as well; the water chestnuts inside gave a juicy crunch to every bite. The char siew was well marinated and tender, there's even an option to choose lean or fatty ones. Overall a real value for money meal, definitely recommend! .

Bonus plus point: They don't use MSG.

I have read many good reviews about Belly Lucky Noodle, which serves a “zhnged-up” version of kolo mee at Hong Lim Market and Food Centre (#02-25).

Finally had the chance to try their Handmade Sarawak Kolo Mee ($5), which consists of springy handmade egg noodles, minced meat, prawn dumplings, char siew and lava egg. The noodles have a good bite and it is tossed in a sweet and savoury sauce that has a spicy kick from the surprisingly potent chilli sauce.

The char siew is made from a specific cut of pork called 不见天 that has a good balance of fats and meat, and it is smokey and tender. The prawn dumplings contain a generous amount of minced pork, prawn, mushroom and water chestnut filling. Along with the gooey lava egg, flavourful braised minced meat and a dash of lard cubes, this is one premium bowl of kolo mee that is satisfying, delicious and value-for-money.

At $5, I’m getting osen egg, char siew and dumpling. The portion of char siew is on the small side and it’s abit too fatty for my liking. The dumpling is well seasoned and comes with a nice crunch from the chestnut

Went to try this recently after seeing so many posts of the kolo mee here on my social media feed, and I’m glad to say I wasn’t disappointed. The noodle texture was really springy with tasty seasoning, char siew was good (they use the bu jian tian cut of char siew here), and the dumplings were plump and juicy! Wouldn’t mind queueing for this again if I’m in the area!

With only one item on the menu, which you get to choose either original or adding black sauce; then choose your spicy level.

It is basically a Sarawak Kolo Mee, adding with wanton, egg and char siew for $5. The focus here should be the noodle itself which is chewy and nice. Unfortunately for the char siew was served cold, it would be better if they are hot.

Also the waiting time could be long because they prepare the noodle plate by plate.
