[City Plaza] Whenever my friends asked me where is the best ban mien in Singapore, I will usually direct them to two places; my top choice being China Whampoa Homemade Noodles at Whampoa Market and coming in at a close second, Poon Nah City Homemade Noodles at City Plaza.

Since young, these have been my two most frequent stalls for my ban mien (though I usually order you mien) craving. As Whampoa Market is kinda far for me, I will usually settle for Poon Nah and the usual order is definitely the Sliced Fish Homemade You Mien ($3.00).

These are the only two stalls that I know that serves with a clear broth (without egg) and mani chye (sayur manis, 马尼菜). What sets them apart is the super flavorful broth and lip-smacking, ass-burning chilli. Noodles are cooked al-dente which retained its chewiness and you can almost hear each table slurping up the noodles.

Eating here always reminds me of how my mum and myself would order a bowl (soup version) each and an additional order of the dry version (mixed with their chilli and sweet black sweet) just so we can have the best of both worlds.
