Legacy Pork Noodles

Ordered the mee kia. The noodles were well cooked and didn had the alkaline taste. The soy sauce wasnt too salty. The soup was very flavourful and had many ingredients - minced pork, meatballs, pork slices, kidney and liver. I dont think it is our typical type of bcm but definitely a good bowl of noodle. Would recommend to give it a try if u are in the area.

Springy with a firm bite!

- Pork didn’t have any porky odour and minced pork came in huge chunks.
- Mee pok was springy and QQ with a satisfying bite, fully coated in luscious dark sauce which reminded me of Malaysian wonton mee.
- I liked their spicy chilli paste which was fried with bits of crunchy dried shrimp 🌶️

- Served with generous serving of meatballs, minced pork, pork slices, intestine, kidney and liver 🍲
- I don’t eat innards but my mum really enjoyed how they’re all fresh, nicely cooked and tender, not overdone or too chewy at all.
- Pork liver didn’t have any bitterness and wasn’t undercooked, contrary to some stalls which serve them slightly pink.
- Egg created floating egg whites in the flavourful cloudy soup which wasn’t too salty, so comforting!

With Organ (Pork Intestine, Kidney, Liver)

Add-on extra Pork Lard

$6.50+$0.50

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. 😥
