It is one of the more popular stalls here evident by the line of customers it serve everyday. I have long wanted to give it a try but was intimidated by the waiting time.
Imagine my surprise when I visited the food centre on a particular morning to see only five people in the queue. I did not go there specifically for the pork noodle but since such an opportunity does not come easy, I wasted no time in joining them although it still took about thirty minutes for me to receive my bowl.
I opt for the regular bowl ($6/$8/$10) of mee kia which was served in a large, white bowl. It comes with a small bowl of soup on the side.
The upsized options are also served in "prettier" bowls with oriental decorative border. 😝
My $6 order includes meat balls, minced pork, pig's liver, sole fish and wanton sitting atop a mound of mee kia. They are quite heavy-handed with the sauces here such as black vinegar.
Not the most pleasant looking piece of liver but the doneness is to my liking.
The unusually large wanton with plenty of folds of skin may seem out of place in a bowl of bak chor mee but I am not complaining.
The noodle is cooked softer than al dente but still springy. I love the punch of the black vinegar which is fragrantly sour and the chili was power.
In all honesty, I find this a great bowl of noodle but the small serving for its price is a big deterrent for me to enjoy regularly. As much as I would like to support our local hawkers, this bowl of pork noodle is a luxury to have in this trying period.
