Hokkien Mee
(Update: Unfortunately the stall has closed.)
Tried a new Hokkien Mee stall at the only coffeeshop at Blk 727 Ang Mo Kio. Ordered the 5 dollar portion. What i am most impressed with this Hokkien Mee is the generous amount of ingredients! It is so hard to find a Hokkien Mee that serves such decent size ingredients. Just look at the pork slices. It is of decent size and quantity. Not to mention the prawn stock is not bland as well. But i feel the chilli can be more on the sweet side. But that is just my personal preference. Overall, a 4/5 rating!
Being a hokkien mee fanatic, i came across his hokkien mee stall called Yong Ji Fried Sotong Prawn Noodle. The meat slices are thick (although not a lot of slices) and there is pork lard as well. However I feel the ingredients do not 'blend' well in this Hokkien Mee and prawn stock taste so-so to me. Overall, a 2.5 rating.
Went to try the Swee Guan hokkien mee. Ordered the 8 dollar portion. As expected, this hokkien mee is more on the wet side and you will be slurping down the noodles. However, the lack of pork slices makes me feel the version lacks some oomph. The prawns are huge though. Overall, 3/5 rating.
Since I am at Teck Gee square market and food centre, gonna have to try the famous hokkien mee there as well! Ordered the 5.50 portion. The hokkien mee certainly lives up to its reputation. Prawns are fresh and of a decent size, pork slices are big but not a lot though. The prawn stock taste great and the noodle texture is not too soft or hard. A 4.5/5 rating!
Throwback to yesterday's Hokkien Mee! I simply love hokkien mee that is more on the 'wet' side. The pork is in slightly bigger slices too. Comes with pork lard as well and the chilli is the sambar chilli type. 4 dollars per packet. Like how they package it in a zi char style box. The shop name is simply called "Hokkien Fried Prawn Noodle"
