What a name eh? These folks from Shiok Shiok Noodles (#01-07 Teck Ghee Court Market & Food Centre, 341 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1, tel : +65 9773 9344) lay claim to the first mala bak chor mee.
I was curious and wanted to know if they were good. This was the large bowl of the mala bak chor mee. Notice those rough looking meatballs on the side? Yes, hand made and they were packed with the flavour from dried sole. There's also fish balls and fish cakes in place of could have been stewed mushrooms in bowls from other stalls.
The mala infusion in the sauce was legit. Solid Sichuan peppercorn flavour with a light 麻 and some heat. Enjoyed how savoury the bowl of noodles was and that their concoction didn't shy away from salt. For a bowl of mala-cized local noodles, this had a load more credibility compared to the 麻辣三宝面 from Wen Ge Charcoal Delights (文哥烧腊).
We tried a bowl of black mee sua soup which featured sliced pig's kidneys and livers with loads of minced pork. The dark brown was was rich tasting and robust with a porcine flavour. Not bad. Couldn't taste the XO that was supposed to be in it though.
