Poon Nah City (Ban Mian)

It was my first time going City Plaza last night. We went there to hunt for Chinese New Year clothes. There was the only hawker centre at 4th floor. Located near Paya Lebar MRT, take Exit D to the destination. There was no empty seat upon we reached the stall. I saw many number plates given by this Ban Mian stall on the tables. It proved that the business is really good.Take around half-an-hour for a bowl of Ban Mian. I ordered Dory Fish Ban Mian. Not bad, the soup was just nice. Noodle was tender and the fish was fresh. Price was fair, $3.00 per bowl. Yet, the portion might not be enough for big-eater.

Poon Nah City Home Made Noodle 文尼城市面粉粿 specialises in serving homemade (handmade) noodles (the likes of ban mian, you mian). The stall is located in the food court of City Plaza at level 5. If City Plaza rings a bell among foodies, that could be because this is where our very own local fast food; Arnold's Fried Chicken is located at. The food court is not easily accessible unless you are familiar with the area; City Plaza.

They offer a wide variety of noodles ranging from Ban Mee, You Mian, Mee Sua, Bee Hoon to Bean Flour Noodle.

After you have ordered, a bright red number tag will be given to you. All you have to do next is to find a table, display the tag clearly and wait for your bowl of noodles. The Abalone Clam Hand Made Yu Mee comes in either $4 or $5. In the $5 version you can either ask for more ingredients or more Yu Mee (You Mian). In my case, I choose the $5 version and asked for more Yu Mee.

The last time I had a meal in this stall was in 2008. Everything looks the same except that the price has increased.

Inside the piping hot bowl of Abalone Clam Hand Made Yu Mee, there were abalone clams, vegetable, minced meat, sliced mushrooms was topped with ikan bilis. The stall used New Moon Razor Clams for its Abalone Clam Hand Made Yu Mee, 3 pieces were given.

The hand made noodles made themselves was soft and tasty. In addition, the broth was robust and tasty. I drank practically all of it. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients (meat, vegetable, ikan bilis) given. A very generous amount of vegetable was given, much more than other hand made noodles stalls. The noodles given was alot too, almost 50% more than other stalls. The only down side I would say is the mushroom. This sounds weird coming from a mushroom lover. Well..the reason is because the dried mushroom was hard and salty. The freshly made thick chilli paste was very spicy yet addictive. I like to dip the minced meat or eat the paste without anything. Despite the spiciness (my mouth was literally burning), I could not stop eating this!

This has got to be one of the best (if not better) home made noodles stall in Singapore. I enjoyed the meal and the price tag of $5 is certainly worthwhile. I wish that I am located nearby and can come by daily for lunch.

Had this lovely bowl of dry you mian. It is quite a hidden gem, didnt know such a yummy hand made noodles exist. Of course it is nowhere near as good as the whampoa ban bian, but well, beggers cant be choosers. The sauce is good, abit too sweet, probably she added in too much sauce, the chili which is free-flow, available for you to get as much as you wan, is wonderful. Spicy and fragrant! So i guess if you cant get your mouth on the whampoa banbian, this serves to be quite a good alternative.

I stumbled upon Poon Nah City Home Made Noodle inside a coffee shop on the 5th storey of City Plaza. Surprised to see many people ordering from this stall when I didn't even know that this coffee shop exists, I couldn't resist but try it myself. I ordered a bowl of prawn ban mian which costs $3 and was served within 15 minutes. Topped with prawns, minced meat, vegetables and sliced mushroom, the home made noodle is thick and tasty and the piping hot soup is filled with delightful seafood essence.

This is quite a popular stall as i have heard my friends telling me about it. Went to try it out today finally and ordered their seafood you mian. It came with two prawns and i love the soup as it is really nice and flavouring. There were also a lot of vegetables given as well. But i feel that the noodles portion is kind of little actually as i was not really full after eating it. Do pair it with their chilli as it complements the you mian very well.

Went there for dinner with my ex-colleague. Long time never have this ban mian so we decided to dine here. I ordered Bao Bei Mee Hoon Kuey. When I received the food, it not really look tempting but after first try, it's really good. The handmade mee hoon kuey was nice and it was not too salty or bland. The noodles was springy and chewy, and not too soft. The soup has a rich taste. The ingredients was taste nicer when complemented with the handmade noodles. The chili was really spicy and goes well with the noodles. Overall, the mee hoon kuey was really good.

I ordered ban mian take-away from Poon Nah City (Ban Mian) located at Katong City Plaza. It costs $3.30 for the meal inclusive of the container charges. The soup tasted great as there was much flavouring without being salty. The noodles were tangy and I enjoy chewing them. The ingredients were generous as there were a lot of pork and egg.
