Looking for Noodle places?

I waited just 9 minutes for my food at Legacy Pork Noodles. I didn’t like it…..

.. I loved it 🤭

Having said that, I’ve read several posts saying they waited 45 mins - 1 hour for their food. There are few things that would make me happy after waiting that long (except Zouk Mambo night iykyk where all my senior citizens at). I really dislike queuing.

So with that context, here’s the low-down:

I got a bowl of Signature Pork Noodles - Soup ($6.50 nett). Was delighted that it costs the same with or without organs (pig intestines, kidney, liver). My friend, on the other hand, was not amused that his organ-less portion didn’t have more meat than mine.. Only a piece of taukee, which wasn’t enough to balance out the inequity.

The soup was flavourful & umami. Ingredients were good & plenty with the organs. I was impressed by how the liver was still tender (a difficult balance to achieve), but didn’t quite enjoy the extreme porkyness of the meatballs. Minced meat & sliced pork were fine, though.

There were 2 chunky pieces of pork lard in the noodles - I don’t eat those, but putting it out there FWIW.

The noodles aren’t tossed in chilli or vinegar like the Bak Chor Mee we are used to in Singapore, so that tangyness & acidity is missing. Nonetheless, it’s still slurpable & flavourful with the dark sauce (KL style), complimented by the silky smooth noodle texture with a great chew in every bite.

I was here at 6:30PM on a weekday, & there wasn’t a queue to place my order. Slightly after I got my food, the queue exploded & the coffeeshop was full-house. By 7:10PM, they closed off orders to focus on cooking - presumably so they can get off work by their closing time of 8PM.

TLDR: Impressed by the noodles here & I hope I don’t have to queue for long the next time I’m here. I would like to try the Bitter Gourd Pork Noodles next time… This was my original selection, but they had run out of bitter gourd. 😥

Broth and mixian were alright, beef slices were too tough, not premium at all

Add minced meat +1++, beef tendon +4.8++ and bursting meatballs +3.8++

This is my third time eating so I think I have to be honest w myself now. It's the case where the ingredients are all good, from the springy noodles to the well seasoned minced meat and the gooey century egg. But they don't work particularly well tgt because the noodles don't physically mix w the ingredients, the century egg doesnt mesh well, not contributing to the overall taste profile much and the chili was way too spicy. Nothing is particularly jarring cos they all don't have too much character

Beef tendon and bursting meatballs were both alright not impressive

Biang Biang Noodle ($7.40)
⭐️ 4/5 ⭐️
🍴Hidden gem for chewy, thick, hand-pulled noodles from Xi’an. Choose from among 5 ingredient combinations and our 3-in-1 featured tangy tomatoes, creamy scrambled egg, marinated pork cubes, and fresh greens.

The noodles one of the better textures around - silky with enjoyable chew and bite. Choose your own spicy level by adding in the addictive crisp fried chili bits and chili oil. Tossing everything together in the savory sauce was highly satisfying and slurp-worthy.

Legacy Pork Noodles! This stall is known for their authentic Malaysian Style Pork Noodles!

We got the Signature Pork Noodles in Dry version (soup version is also available). You can choose your preferred noodles. We got Mee Pok and Mee Kia! (other noodle options: Hor Fun, Mee Tai Mak, Beehoon, Yee Mian, Koka Noodles, Yellow Noodles and Mee Sua). For the signature pork noodles, it comes with pork intestine, kidney and liver. If you do not take the pork innards, the no organ option is also available and you will be getting pork balls, pork slices and minced meat with a fried beancurd!

The noodle was qq and it comes with minced meat and pork lard too! Soup was flavourful and I loved the think chunks of minced meat!

Some sides. The tau pok comes in a sweet sauce. The condiments are self-service, including their in-house beef bone marrow chilli, which was so fragrant. Just imagine chilli fried with bone marrow.

I don't like Show Lo hahaha but this is one of the best beef noodles in Singapore imo. This is only their lower-grade beef but already so beefy and tender while retaining a good bite. This soup was so fragrant, very similar to Taiwan's, and a notch better than the braised soup. This is the handmade noodle, same as Taiwan, but personally I'm not a fan of thick noodles lah.

Collab with a tea brand. I loved it. Sweet yet also strong tea flavour.

Went to OBBA Jjajang 2 weeks ago and ordered their Kimchi Stew, Steamed Egg, and Jjajangmyeon (~$40 for 2 pax)!😇 Overall ratings 10/10! Loved their food as always and the kimchi stew is so flavourful😍 Would definitely head back again

This little stall in Toa Payoh Palm Spring Market is run by an eldery Cantonese couple and specialises in classic fried rice and hor fun. The old school taste is evident in the expertly fried grains - not at all oily, even slightly dry, and barely seasoned. The wok hei wafts from the plate, and the rice itself is laced with plenty of fluffy egg and bits of spring onion.

Whilst the rice was good, the chicken was even better. Each golden nugget is encased in paper-thin crispy batter, and the tender meat was fragrant with the taste of Shaoxing wine.

This bowl of goodness hails from the Hong Lim Market, renowned for its Michelin Bib Gourmand status. Though they were out of meekia and meepok during our visit, we gone for yellow noodles and kway teow. The noodles were delightfully QQ and slurp-worthy.

In the medium-sized bowl, you'll find an array of toppings: four bouncy meatballs, two wantons with smooth skin and flavourful marinated meat, grainy sliced pork, a hint of minced pork, pig liver, pork lard, spring onions, and a crispy dried sole fish. These noodles had no trouble soaking up the special mix sauce, resulting in a flavour explosion in every bite. The sauce, generously provided, gave a unique blend of distinct vinegar taste, lard oil, and chili, giving it a robust flavour profile that's truly slurptisfying.

Don't underestimate the simplicity of the soup either; it's packed with savoury goodness and a rich porky flavour that rounds out the meal nicely.
