Easily one of the most popular stalls along with the Malacca Chicken Rice Balls stall, the Penang Ah Mei Hokkien Mee stall had a super long queue at 8pm on a weekend. Waiting time is about 20 minutes. There is the Laksa and Laksa with Beef option, but they ran out of beef by the time I was ordering. So it is just the Laksa for $5 left, which made it more efficient for the chefs to coordinate.Maybe I'm really awful at eating spicy food but this laksa's gravy is so spicy it brings tears to my eyes
Maybe I'm really awful at eating spicy food but this laksa's gravy is so spicy it brings tears to my eyes. There is no opt-out of the level of spiciness because the chilli is not added into the gravy upon ordering but already stirred into the main stock. The stock is rather disappointing, there is not much coconut milk and it is actually quite diluted. The prawns are the obviously artificially crunchy / springy sort. The noodles were rather limp and boring, not as springy as I hoped it would be. Another "eat to live" sort of dish... but in face of the scary throngs of crowd at Resorts World Sentosa, thumbs up for the ability to hold up. The whole place looks like a period drama set from Mediacorp, but any bit of ambience is destroyed by the huge crowds, impatient table clearing staff and squeezy tables. You can have a better version of the ambience at Malaysia Boleh (Jurong Point).
