Just had dinner over @ Kong Kee in Geylang! After having some good ol' KL Hokkien Mee, have been craving for some in Singapore! I have been mainly satisfying my cravings by getting this black,gooey goodness from Simpang Bedok. Recently, i have heard some good reviews about the KL Hokkien Mee @ Kong Kee, along with some other good grub. Decided to go there today with my parents to check the place out. Looking at the menu, many of the items are super pricey!! The only cheap thing was perhaps the K
Looking at the menu, many of the items are super pricey!! The only cheap thing was perhaps the KL Hokkien Mee and of course we were gonna get it! We also heard that the Sang Har Sang Mee was good and decided to get it! It seemed that the smallest size was $20 and this was the only size available. My mum loves Dong Po Pork so we got a serving of that as well.
The Hokkien Mee arrived first, and we dived into it immediately. We could definitely taste the Wok Hei and boy was this some heavenly goodness. What was most amazing about the noodles was the pork lard. Flavourful, crispy goodness! It literally exploded into our mouths and it was so, so crispy! Kudos to the chef for the freshness of the lard!
The Sang Mee came after this and it was super huge we all got a shock! We were quite amazed at how much we were getting for just $20, it was quite incredible.
However, my dad didn't really like it, and we couldn't really finish it by ourselves. In the end, when we got the bill, we realised that the Sang Mee was $40 instead! I was actually quite annoyed with the person who took our order! She clearly knew that there were only 3 of us, how on earth could we finish a medium sized plate of noodles that was that big?! Not wanting to make anyone unhappy, we just suppressed our annoyance and left. Nonetheless, the boss was really nice about everything. Although she wasn't there when we were settling the bill, she was clearly very keen on keeping her customers happy. My dad was busy finding a parking space for our car so he was slightly late and the food was slightly cold. Her kind act of helping us heat up the food was definitely appreciated! This was one simple gesture of enhancing our entire experience there! I would go back because of her and the Hokkien Mee! Affordable & Tasty!
