Feeling hungry and craving for good food, I decided to make a tour to Tiong Bahru Market to see if there is anything nice to eat. I happened to come across this lor mee stall with a name that sounded weird to me. I feel that anyone who runs the stall included the numbers "178" in the stall name probably because they feel that it will make their business prosper. The numbers "178" sound to me like "yi qu fa", which means "prosper once given" in Mandarin. I went there and saw a lot of good reviews
The yellow noodles are drenched in dark gravy before topping up with shark nuggets, dough fritters and sliced pork. I have put the chopped garlic, chili sauce and then the chopped coriander roughly at the centre of the dish to make the dish look more appealing. The noodles are broad, thick and springy. The dark gravy is sticky, looks like gel and tastes savoury. The nuggets look big and are crispy but becomes soft when dipped in the gravy. The shark meat within the nugget is soft and flossy. The small dough fritters are soft and chewy but are a bit crispy and crunchy. The pieces of pork are bite-sized, bouncy and tender. The chopped garlic and chili sauce make the whole bowl of noodles taste hot and spicy. Wow, I have never had such a bowl of lor mee before. It is so delicious. I can come there for a bowl of noodles the next time.
