We ordered the Ah Ma Mee Sua ($4.00) and the Ah Gong Tau Chiam ($4.50)
.
Between mee sua and tau chiam, we felt that the former tasted better in terms of both flavour and texture. The mee sua matches better with the slightly thick broth that was mildly seasoned and did exude an “ah ma” feel to it. On the other hand, the unique soybean taste from the tau chiam was not really our cup of tea and the noodles were slightly soggy from absorbing all the soup.
.
The sliced pork was seasoned nicely and had a nice bite to it. The pork meatballs were savoury and chewy but we felt like there was too much flour mixed in it as there were parts that tasted too gooey and starchy. Also, while the pig livers were very soft and tender, they tasted a little undercooked as the bloody taste was very distinct and penetrated the soup. The mushrooms were flavourful and juicy and I might like it even more than the pork even though I am a meat lover. The egg on its own was nice but did not seem to elevate the dish further.
.
Towards the end of the meal, we found it slightly hard to finish the entire bowl of noodles as the soup tasted increasingly starchy.
.
Overall, we recommend the noodles at Chye Lai Ah Ma Mee Sua if you are someone who enjoys simple and homely taste. If not, we would suggest that you get other food items that offer richer and bolder flavours to complement the noodles here.
