San Yuan Gourmet (Closed)

Located in the first row of shops nearest to the car park is this humble noodle shop, selling Laksa at $2 and minced meat noodles at $3 and their famous fish ball noodles at $2! Do not like the price deceive you for $2, you get a full bowl of noodles with fried onions and small pieces of lard and 6 bouncy fish balls!A very simple local fare at a very reasonable price! The uncle and aunty are also very friendly and patient. If you are near this area with only $2 to spare. Walk on over! It is just a 10 min walk from Nanyang Polytechnic. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the sauce in the noodles gave every mouthful a savory taste. The fried onions were so tipsy, same for the small pieces of lard. The fish balls had the right amount of texture and tasted great with a spoonful of soup. The soup wasn't MSG laden either! A huge plus! I will definitely be back to try their laksa!!…Read More

This is the really worth it Fishball Noodle at $2. This is the first stall that i came across for such an affordablely priced fishball noodle. I wonder where else could i find another bowl of fishball noodle at the same price?This stall has their constant flow of customers. Many of these customers ordered the fishball noodle or the minced pork noodle at $2 though they do serve fishball soup, meat ball soup and laksa at $2 too. They serve their signature dry mee sua at $3 though. I joined the queue and ordered a bowl of fishball noodle. A good enough portion of mee pok was served with just sauce, chopped spring onion and bits of fried pork lards to enhance the taste. A bowl of soup with 5 pieces of fishballs was served along. Those fishballs were probably mass produced by adding in lot of flour with a lower proportion of fish. The texture was too soft without the bounciness expected of a good fishball. The presentation of the nicely tossed mee pok could be an unappealing one as there was just a pile of noodle with no visible ingredients. The taste was not a disappointing one though. It tasted just fine with a comforting level of spiciness and a well-balanced taste of saltiness. The noodle was cooked well to give it the delightful springiness with an al dente texture. A pretty good eats for non-fussy eater. …Read More

Ok.... Before this i've never heard of mee sua dry before. I always think it's mostly in soup version. So when i see this, i just had to try it. Ordered one with extra vinegar and chili =)i must say the presentation is not bad. A good start for my meal already! Mixed a bit and took the first mouthful.... OMG! It's delicious indeed. Well balanced with the vinegar and chili, mee sua texture was ok too. I thought it may be one lump sticking together and it didn't.But portion wise, it wasn't a lot so i only go for this when i'm not very hungry…Read More
