Zhong Pin Noodle House (Bukit Merah Central)

Quite authentic, broth is almost like what I had in my childhood in Kuching. Noodles were plentiful, and there was substantial egg strips, shredded chicken, and taugeh. The bowl also came with THREE juicy and sweet whole prawns wow! Mix in the chilli and lime and you've got yourself a fantastic meal. Highly recommend.

Long queues in this section of the Bukit Merah Food Center. One for the value for money Cai Png. One for the Ban Mian and another for this noodles shop.

I normally will give noodle stall that have as wide a menu as this one, a miss. As they say, Jack of all trades…But this stall comes highly recommended to me.

So I joined the 12 person long queue and shortly, before I got to the front, the stall
assistant came to take my order. As instructed, I went for the Kolo Mee, White Sauce, with chilli. But I chose the larger portion at $5.50 instead of the small.

The portion was huge. It had loads of char Siew, minced meat and garnished with fried shallots (factory type) and lard bits. Noodles were also not your typical Wantan mee noodles that most Kolo mee stalls use but a more curly version that looks similar to instant noodles.

Noodles were cooked just right and the white sauce (lard oil) further accentuated the taste of chilli sauce infused noodles. Char Siew and minced meat was normal. I did realise that I should have stuck with a small portion because at the end, it was getting too much.

Good Kolo mee. It’s not often that you can get a choice of white, black and red sauce.

You can actually choose the version/sauce you want… White, Black or Red. As you can see, I ordered their White version to try for the first time.

Glad that they gave quite a fair bit of ingredients and the texture of noodles were on point too! Will surely be back again to try other dishes that they sell…

Another hit. This just gets better and better. It's not a clear photo but kolo mee with the seasoning, the variety of ingredients, and especially the generous and fragrant lard is just heavenly. Why haven't I eaten this more?

Good bowl of Sarawak Laksa @$5. Can see people start queueing at 1115-1130am
Go early as the shop closes at 230pm.

For some reason, much better than my virgin experience. Maybe I was hungry. Addictive.
