Now a chain but still very good.

Whenever we are at the hawker centers or coffee shops, lor mee is never an option for us. Gobbler & Nibbler can count the number of times they have eaten lor mee in their entire lives. But yet we have been returning back for this 新美香 lor mee.

We prefer this version with fish meat bits and pork slices with lots of vinegar and diced garlic - rather than the fried fish with ngo hiang kind of lor mee.

This is a biased review as this is the ONLY lor mee I have ever eaten as the starchy gravy scares me to death. To my delight, the gravy here is light from the generous amount of vinegar and chilli mixed in and I had no problems finishing every bit of it. I even had to stop myself from drinking the gravy on its own….

Gravy-aside, the sliced fish chunks were also great and I like that they present you an option of the various type of noodles you’d like. The only downside is the hour-long queue!

This is probably not the first time I am featuring Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee and definitely not the last time.

The gravy is just perfect and I just love their shredded fried red snapper bits.

My favourite lor mee in town has opened a new outlet in Balestier. Looking forward to trying it soon!

Really the best lor mee in Singapore.

Been hearing lots of good reviews, especially on food king.

Usually closes early. So never got the chance to eat. Have to go down early for this on a Sunday.

Queue was around 30mins long during sunday lunch time

The fish chunks were soft and tender.

The sauce sibei thick. And smells and taste so good.

Will come back queue another 30mins next time
