The Straw Hat Man

This stall has been one of the icon of Food Republic at Wisma, you can easily tell this stall from the straw hat that most of the workers wear, a signature identity.

This stall has been one of the icon of Food Republic at Wisma, you can easily tell this stall from the straw hat that most of the workers wear, a signature identity. I ordered the small plate which cost $5.20. The usual style of preparation is with quantity, so be prepared to wait if they start cooking a new batch. When almost done, the noodles are scooped into a plastic mug then poured to your serving tray. Some stalls do it differently whereby they still cook as a big wok but ingredients are added separately to both prevent overcooking and ensuring amount given, not the case here. The ingredients are portioned on a approximate basis except for the prawns. Served on a dried leave, not sure what leave but it seems like a processed wood paper though, presentation wise its definitely appealing, with its huge plate and red sambal chilli as a color contrast. After photo taking when i was trying to mix my noodle well, i realized the leave holder actually gets in the way so i removed it. The hokkien mee is cooked using yellow mee and chu mee fen. Ingredients include pork lard, 3 prawns, egg and green onion. Its semi wet so you get lots of gravy to go along. The standard is pretty much maintained as its used to be but this time its not enough to make me want to travel all the way here just to eat again. But to order hokkien mee from this stall is quite a safe bet for a good eat.
