Qin Ji Rougamo 秦记肉夹馍 (Guoco Tower)

Not much body but the toppings made up for it, the potato noodles themselves were top class, teeniest bit of chew and the perfect bite. It's sour enough but even with reduced spiciness, the choking chili is already too much to eat, we kept coughing

Still, it's worth a try if you're in the area for the best potato noodles I've had

It was my first time having rougamo, and I was so pleasantly surprised!

I had the Chicken Rougamo from @qin_ji_rougamo, and I was a splendid street snack I would totally get again. The crispy layered dough was stuffed full of chicken pieces which were really tender and flavourful. The contrast of textures coming from the crunch of the exterior and the tender saucy chicken pieces really worked very well. I can imagine the cumin pork version tasting even better!

As I ordered it as a set ($14.50), the set comes with cold noodles and a drink. The hot and spicy cold noodles indeed was flavourful and had a very strong kick, perhaps too spicy for me 🥹 I wished that the noodles was more springy though!

Definitely coming back for the rougamo. Good thing that it's just right outside Tanjong Pagar MRT!

This is the price through Grabfood. I think it taste nice but it feels like many of the ingredients come as part of a premium instant noodle package.

If that is the case I wonder whether I should just buy a better instant noodle, which is cheaper.

Soup is savoury not overly salty or sweet.

Very meaty, savoury meat. One of these should be enough for most people. It's good to give it a try if you have not eaten it. The skin is unique like your normal Chinese biscuit but not overly thick.
