🍽 Sheng Mian: this item is always a hit or miss and it is always hard to judge how it will be without any menu photos or actual photos for reference. In this case it was a total miss for me. The shengmian noodles were damn laohong and also not the crispy thin kind that I was looking for that becomes silky smooth when in the wet gravy

(based on my memories the best shengmian I have ever eaten, and very unexpectedly so, was at the makansutra bay at Esplanade where there was this roast duck stall selling duck meat shengmian for $14+. At that time I was commenting how absurd the price was, but the noodles blew my mind and I still remember fondly till today 6 years later. Not sure whether this stall is still at makansutra bay / moved away / closed down haha.)
