Seletar Sheng Mian Mee Hoon Kway (Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market)

Mhk is the doughy type, it comes in large pieces that are hand torn - smooth and thinner at the ends, thicker and more doughy in the middle. The doughy type is not my fav, but I still like that it had a handmade quality to it. Ikan bilis is crunchy even when soaked, and has a smoky taste! Soup is p tasty, it had the freshness of the pork and the added flavour from the egg. Pork is v lean, not v tender but not tough either, just that it has a bit of 腥味. Prawns were v fresh and large! Not overcooked.

Overall I liked it, the soup is the highlight for me! Didn’t mind that I had to queue for about 30 mins, but if I had known I would only choose to eat it if the waiting time was <15 mins.

Touted as being one of Singapore's best ban mian, I can safely proclaim that it does truly live up to its name. Their broth is concentrated with so much goodness from the ingredients which they used in the boiling process - ikan billis, pork bones, and prawns!

I have to admit that sheng mian (or any other forms of yellow noodle) is not exactly my top choice of noodles, and I would usually go for you mian. But, I would gladly make an exception for this store. Being freshly handmade, their sheng mian is al dante and springy. Encompassed in their rich broth, every single bite bursts with umami without it being overly salty.

Each bowl also comes with a large fresh prawn, lean pork slices, vegetables, and the two most important toppings - the egg and crispy anchovies which help to bring the whole dish together and add an extra oomph to it.

Located in Lorong 8 Toa Payoh, their snaking long queue makes this stall hard to miss. I would usually go for the soup version as it feels more satisfying to me. Even on a hot day, this bowl of noodles still feels extremely shiok🔥That's how amazing it is - definitely worth every drop of sweat and penny!

The ANTicipated scale ⚖
👅Flavour: 9 ants
💰Value: 8 ants
📍Convenience: 6.5 ants

Cos I still have some hawker-loving auntiness in me, had to queue when I saw the snaking queue at this stall.

Verdict? A hearty dish. Pick the soup version though as the combination of thick chewy noodles in a thick flavourful broth was very comforting.

And wow I had no idea hawkers did noodle art like baristas #dinosaurart

The soup is boiled with pork and ikan bilis thus making the stock sweet and it is even more yummy when it is cooked with the sheng mian making it thick as well. :) Super love it~ It also comes with prawns, minced meat, pork, vegetables and egg. The noodles are springy and al dente and not the slightest overcooked. Do come early as there's a queue for this! Ate this once and fell in love.

Happy birthday to me! Birthday breakfast! 生面 delicious Sheng Mian soup! Thank you Lord for all the blessings n more in the coming year as I embark to the next phase of my life!
