More thoughts on No. 25 Minced Meat Noodle

It's been a little over a year since we were first/last at No. 25 Minced Meat Noodle. The stall looked updated with an expanded menu. Their most expensive item on the menu used to be $7.

Today I can get a $13 signature bowl. That's pricing in the same leagues as Tai Hwa. There won't be any comparisons between the two because they're very different bowls.

For $13, the amount of ba chor/minced pork was kinda measly ☝🏻. I don't remember the details of the first time we had it but this one had a solid sambal flavour in the saucing which packed some heat and was deeply savoury. The fried lard (猪油渣) and ti poh definitely added to it.

Delicious soup with pretty generous amount of ingredients but I didn't expect anything less with what they were charging. Not big on the fish dumpling which I was hoping would be good. They were just a little too chewy. I'm pretty sure we've had generic factory ones that we liked better. Fish maw pieces were kinda small so a lot of mouthfeel was lost. But still good bowl of soup as a whole.
