Lorong Ah Soo Lor Mee, Hainanese Village Food Centre


This stall (Blk 105 Hougang Ave 1, #02-12) I was told, is suppose to be one of those famous places for lor mee. Judging from the queue in front of the stall, there was probably little debate about that fact. My initial expections was something along the lines of what vague memory I can scrape from the days of the old Maxwell Food Centre where the bowl of noodles was piled on the top with sliced pork belly, crispy fried meatballs, ngor hiong and chopped garlic. I was actually a little disappointed that this was not to be. Firstly, there wasn't any fried meatballs nor strips of pork belly. Instead it was a just some fish cake and a bit of shredded braised duck. The major saving grace of it was probably the sliced chilli padi, chopped garlic and vinegar which upped the taste factor by some notches. Otherwise I couldn't really say that there was anything about it that was truly exceptional.
