Just when Meelo Pancakes had just opened their first outlet at Lot One in Choa Chu Kang not too long ago, these folks had since expanded their operations to Jurong East. Apart from running a kiosk that is dedicated to their Min Jiang Kueh offerings, the folks behind the Meelo brand had also introduced a new concept named Meelo Mini Bowls. The introduction of Meelo Mini Bowls adds on to the variety of concepts serving up mainland Chinese-style mini bowl offerings around the Jurong East area — this would include establishments such as 百味小碗菜GO! Bai Wei Mini Bowl GO! at IMM and SteamLiu’s 浏阳蒸菜 at Westgate. Meelo Mini Bowls does serve up a variety of hot and cold dishes that are prominently displayed at the counter — all available for the patrons to easily pick up and place on their trays as they make their payment at the cashier.

One of the dishes that we had picked up during our visit to Meelo Mini Bowls would be that of the Dry-Fried Green Beans — this would be one of the few Hot Dishes that these folks have to offer out of the variety of mini bowls that are made available. Meelo Mini Bowls does not describe the elements that are being featured within their dishes; that being said, we did notice that the Dry-Fried Green Beans does come with elements such as green beans, minced pork and dried chilies. Thought that this was a dish that would work great with a bowl of rice on the side; the green beans does come dry-fried to a point in which it carries a soft crunch. The scraps of minced pork which had been dry-fried alongside the green beans does add a slight meatiness and saltish-ness that provides much flavour for the dish, all that whilst the inclusion of chili peppers does help in providing a slight hint of spiciness that tickles the tastebuds — a level that should be comfortable for those whom are tolerable to lesser than moderate levels of spiciness.
