Things appear to be evolving at Authentic Teochew Tradition Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle (潮州传统香菇肉脞面). Not that it's a bad thing but the old couple running the stall did not look like they were people who were interested in shaking up something they've been doing for a long time.
Anyways, there appears to be more options for their bak chor mee. Got the $7 双虾 mee pok bowl which featured a couple of sizeable deveined prawns that were way ahead in quality compared to the neighbouring Covent Garden Prawn Noodle - which has sadly declined in quality the recent couple of years.
Some further thoughts here. Those thick chunks of ti poh (dried sole)...I'm not sure how they're expect the old folks to handle them. 😅 Flavour of today's bowl came mostly from braised mushroom sauce which didn't taste exactly mushroomy. Wantons have a nice dried sole flavour in the stuffings. Soup on the side tasted of corn - pretty sure they didn't previously. Overall pretty satisfying also with the consideration that I didn't have to wait much because I was first in line today. 😬
About one week later...
Got the same bowl with kuey teow 白 with vinegar. Spruced it up with some heat from the sliced red chilli and soya sauce. Nice.
Another few days later...
Mee kia's okay. I prefer the mee pok and kuey teow. Noticed that in the past few visits, the old couple aren't cooking. They have a helper these days that's cooking in the stall instead.
