Yes, you read it right - it's Fruit Juice Mee Siam, NOT Fruit Juice AND Mee Siam.I was invited to this food-tasting session, with many thanks to OpenRice, without which I wouldn't have had the chance to discover the existence of such a creative re-invention of this local delight.It seems like they have named their stall (Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa) after their own humble beginnings which started in 1956.This is the star of the day - Fruit Juice Mee Siam with Crayfish, $6(Mine kindly sponso
I was invited to this food-tasting session, with many thanks to OpenRice, without which I wouldn't have had the chance to discover the existence of such a creative re-invention of this local delight.
It seems like they have named their stall (Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa) after their own humble beginnings which started in 1956.
This is the star of the day - Fruit Juice Mee Siam with Crayfish, $6(Mine kindly sponsored by OpenRice)
There are also $3 and $4 options but these are without crayfish. I'd say these are still good options considering that, as you can see, they also serve several slices of chicken, a few prawns, one whole egg and a handful of bean sprouts in the dish, so you'll never run out of ingredients with every bite of the noodles. Otherwise, why not top up just an additional $2 - $3 for an extra whole crayfish?! This deal is too good to be missed; I'm not sure you can get a whole crayfish elsewhere for this price.
The creative element in this dish is none other than the use of fruit juice. The few of us at the table speculated that the secret fruit juice ingredient could be pineapple. But whatever the secret ingredient was, the owner obviously succeeded in re-creating this new mee siam recipe. The soup is light, very smooth and has almost no traces of oil. It also has this slight natural sweetness, and yes, sour at the same time, tastes authentic just like mee siam, in fact everything like what a good mee siam should be. I suppose this should be the healthiest recipe to an awesome bowl of mee siam, topped with a generous amount of ingredients.
This mee siam really won hands down as compared to other mee siams I've eaten at various coffeeshops, hawker centres or cafes, which usually charge at least $3+ for a bowl of oily mee siam with only a few tiny bits of tau pok and an egg.
So many goodness in this meal, so what are you waiting for?
Although my meal was sponsored this time round, I'll be sure to return to this stall as a willing paying customer.
