So they say you only miss what you've lost and like obedient children, we've been craving lor mee since our favourite bukit permai lor mee stall had shut. And you guessed it, we've been on the hunt for a fix since. (Same goes for my favourite buona vista boneless duck )':)

Just a brief background, don't judge ok, but the first time I ever had my own bowl of lor mee was three years ago at bukit permai. It's not like I've never had it before that, it's just that I've only ever pinched some from other people's bowls and I've never liked it.. :\ but I absolutely loved the bukit permai one, its garlicness (and I don't even like garlic usually) and especially that crunchy crispy shit it had, arrrrgggghhhh..

Anyway this one came highly recommended online and when we got there although early, 10++ am, cbd, on a Sunday, already there was a queue. So the boy got us a bowl with extra toppings each ($4?) while I queued for sugar cane juice with lemon (and lime???).

First taste of the lor, not enough cu. We both had to go back for more vinegar. I'm guessing it's to accommodate patrons with lower vinegar tolerance, idk.. >< I got mixed noodles which turned out to be a good choice because their mifen (although clumpy) tasted better than the mee, or at least imo. The fried fish was really delicious but other than that, the lor mee was so-so. Portion's decent but proved too much when not entirely scrumptious to me.

I guess for a regular bowl of lor mee, this is pretty decent quality and taste? Just not bukit permai good. So the hunt for good enough lor mee continues!
