Hailing from a beloved but now defunct beef noodle stall opposite the old Odeon theatre in the 1970s, you're assured of a good quality bowl here, made with an authentic family receipe that hasn't changed.
.
They're known for 2 things. The 1st, a robust Chinese Hainanese gravy, a thick and unctious sauce mixed with beef stock, superior soy sauce, then thickened with potato starch. Paired with lime juice, chinchaclok (fermented shrimp with salt and white vinegar), and chilli. The result is a big meaty savoury sweet salty tangy sour spicy burst of flavour.
.
The 2nd is the generous cuts of perfectly cooked beef parts - springy beef meat balls, spongy beef tripe, tender medium-rare beef slices, and crunchy beansprouts, alongside silky smooth thick bee hoon / rice vermicelli noodles. Lovely meaty vegetal sweet savoury flavours.
.
The stall only opens for a limited 4-days per week, and for only 5 hours each time. Needless to say, go early, and prepare to queue for up to 40 minutes.
