I know the other stall at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre is very popular but my parents and I have been happy ordering from Xiang Ji Lor Mee (stall #01-18) for a couple of years now. Anyway, rumour has it that the owner of “Xiang Ji Lor Mee” use to work at that stall but modified the dish to make it his own when he started this business (FYI - the only other dish he sells is Zha Jiang Mian).
What makes us return customers is the gravy which is decently flavourful compared to many others, and the generous toppings (to be fair, I always order the $5 bowl). I like that their fish comes in big chunks and isn’t fried till crispy oblivion but I do feel the braised pork belly, as flavourful as it is, could be sliced a little thicker for a more satisfying chew. Another plus point is they don’t blink an eye if you ask them to spam a Lor Mee’s all-important condiments of raw minced garlic, sambal, chilli padi, cilantro and black vinegar.
