Mixed feelings about Xiang Xiang Pork Noodles (#01-01 WuFu Coffee Shop, 5 Upper Boon Keng Road). We were served by a non-local who couldn't speak Mandarin, did not look like he was well versed in preparing the food we ordered and had gotten the meatball we wanted incorrectly. The wait time was pretty long. Food's a mixed bag as well.
This was the large portion of their sweet intestine mee pok. Not a fan of their chilli sauce. I'm also not tasting lard (猪油) nor did I get any lard (猪油炸) even though I noticed them around and they also appeared to be selling jars of them. Love the intestines and pig's skin but the noodles weren't anything that would make me look forward to coming back.
For some reasons, they mixed up the additional meatball orders and gave us one less of the truffle one. Meatball's decent. Soup's nothing to write home about.
The minced pork soup noodles were another thing entirely. This broth had a lot more going on and I don't know if it was just the robust hit of garlic in it. Definitely more enjoyable than the dry mee pok. Gonna be getting the soup bowl if I ever come back. 🤔 What I couldn't quite figure out was, this was supposed to be the small portion and looked no different in size from the large mee pok.
Pig's skin here were kinda meh. The ones that came with the noodles were more tender while these harder ones had more of the herbal flavour from their braising sauce. Not impressed.
