After my dental appointment at the nearby Polyclinic, I visited this noodle stall named Fu Ji which is located inside Fu Chan Coffee Shop at Blk 491 Jurong West Ave 1.
I learned about the minced meat noodle here weeks prior my appointment from a Instagram friend so I planned a visit to check it out.
Business was sluggish upon my arrival with only Fu Ji and a chicken rice stall opened. At a glance, there are less than five customers in the coffee shop.
As it is my first time here, I am not sure if it is due to the dine-in restrictions or competition from across the road at Jurong Central Plaza where there are more coffee shops and therefore more choices.
Since there were no customers, I received my bowl of noodle which came with a bowl of soup served on the side pretty quickly.
I found myself a table outside where it is brighter and cooler.
The minced pork is cooked till tender while the mushrooms bursting with juices. As for the pork balls, they were nothing too memorable.
I was looking forward to having the pig's liver but alas, not only are they sliced a tad too thin, they were overcooked as well. However, I find comfort in the bowl of soup which had hints of the liver flavors.
The savory-spicy concoction of tossing sauce had a tinge of sweetish ketchup flavor. Very old-school, I like. There is just enough sauce to coat every strand of noodle with a slick coat of oil but it is not oily by any means.
The texture of the mee pok is not exactly springy but it had a soft, chewy bite.
While this may not be the best minced meat noodle there is but it is good enough to please yet value for money. My only gripe is the lack of crispy pork lard and red, cut chili.
Other than minced meat noodle, the stall also sell fish ball noodle, laksa, lor mee, and mini wok noodle (小碗面).
