Don’t know what got into me but I really felt like eating fishball noodles. So instead of going for all the safe bets in ABC Brickworks, I decided to try this stall. Even though there was no one queueing, at 12 noon lunch time.

I ordered Dry Mee Kia ($4) with chilli and extra vinegar. The noodles checked all my boxes. Al dente almost crunchy, with the chilli sauce and vinegar imparting just the right amount of savoury, heat and sourness. The lard also did wonders for the overall taste. I remembered thinking this could be my go to fishball noodles place!

But alas! The fishball and fish cakes were so factory made. Fishball was not bouncy, it bland and almost tasteless, lacking the umami, fishy taste like others.

If the owner can upgrade his fishballs (find a better supplier), I am sure his noodles will taste better and business will improve.
