I have always wanted to try this famous handmade noodle but the long waiting time is always a turn off. This stall has scored 6/6 chopsticks for Mankansutra 2011 which means this is a 'DIE DIE MUST TRY' stall. The stall is operating from 7.00 am to 2.00 pm and closed on Monday. Today must be my luck day, i happened to be here at about 1.50 pm just after the crazy lunch hour was over. I wanted to order ban mee but it was already sold out, mee hoon kueh was out too so i only left with yu mee or yi
Today must be my luck day, i happened to be here at about 1.50 pm just after the crazy lunch hour was over. I wanted to order ban mee but it was already sold out, mee hoon kueh was out too so i only left with yu mee or yi mee. I decided to go with yu mee, i was given a choice of whether to have prawn or fish, i decided to go with prawns.
One good thing is i do not have to stand in queue to wait for my order. I took a seat and waited for about 15 minutes before uncle delivered it to my table.
I took a sip of the soup first, it managed to WOW me somehow. It was a clear soup, rather savory with a nice sweetness obtained from ikan belis and soya bean. And, it came with 2 slightly bigger than average prawns hidden underneath the yu mee together with 2 minced meat balls and some leafy vegetable. The dried ikan belis added flavor to the soup.
I realised they mixed the red cut chillies with their special chilli sauce. Their special chilli sauce is rather hot, it is even so for me. It added a nice punch to the noodle though. I guess they must have a certain fan for their special chilli sauce as they do sell them packed in a container. I would like to commend their efforts in ensuring the freshness of their ingredients. I was amazed after tasting the 2 very fresh prawns. It is definitely value for money for just $3.00.
So, if you have time and do not mind long waiting time then you should give this famous handmade noodle stall a try. They do have the dry version too, and you can have it with fish maw, abalone or clams.
This has been the best handmade noodle that i ever tried.
Strongly recommended.
