- MenuHeard rave reviews about the mee sua over here, so came here specially with a group of friends to try out this place. I was surprised to see that the whole stretch of stalls all belonged to the same shop. In spite of there being so many seats available, the place still got filled up pretty quickly.

- MenuHeard rave reviews about the mee sua over here, so came here specially with a group of friends to try out this place. I was surprised to see that the whole stretch of stalls all belonged to the same shop. In spite of there being so many seats available, the place still got filled up pretty quickly. Service was quite prompt and efficient - our server gladly moved our large table from outside to inside beneath their rolled-out shelters upon our request, as we were not sure if it was going to rain later. Each of us ordered the signature herbal mee sua - you can choose pork slices, liver or kidney to go with your mee sua. Greedy me chose the combination one as usual.
- The first look of the mee sua
- Mee sua showing the pork slices/liver/kidneyThe herbal soup was really tasty, it was quite thick and hearty without being too heavy on the palate. I could not identify the actual herbs that went into the soup, but they did definitely put some in it. For $4.50 a bowl, I'll say it's pretty worth it based on the effort that went into brewing the soup. The pork slices were ok, and the liver and kidney were cooked just nice and had no "porky" smell.
Besides the signature mee sua, the stall offers a lot of other zi char dishes as well.
- Steamed pomfretFor $30, we got a rather big steamed pomfret. The fish meat was steamed just right and there a lot of ingredients added (teochew style I'll say). Pretty tasty but then the fish still had just a tiny bit of fishiness to it which could not be covered up by the accompanying ingredients.
- Ngoh HiangThe ngoh hiang was pretty good, there were fresh prawns and pork inside and the marinade was tasty. The coating was thin too and fried to a nice brown crisp. Tasted really good when dipped with the side sweet sauce. Oishii! I liked the achar dish that came with it too.
- OmeletteThe omelette we had was fried with minced pork meat inside. Tasted not bad. The chilli sauce that came with it was really interesting - I don't think there's any like it else where. It has a really different tangy taste to it - cannot really place the taste. It reminded me of a type of sweet (in a wrapper) that I ate when I was young. The others at the table did not really like this special chilli sauce. Unique but weird.
- Stir-fried tapioca leavesThe tapioca leaves had quite a generous amount of ground dried shrimp in it and the spice level was ok. Generally rather tasty.
This is quite a good place to hangout for zi char and especially the herbal mee sua. Well come back again
