Sheng Ji Fishball Noodles was introduced by a good friend of mine a while back and I’ve been patronising it ever since.

Apparently, it’s been a hotspot for the weekday lunch crowd in the Bukit Merah area and I really wanted to find out why.

It ticks all the boxes of what a proper foodie landmark should encompass: Accessible, reasonably-priced, popular and downright delicious!

One bowl of their Dry Mee Pok/ Mee Kia/ Kuay Teow/whatever your noodle choice only sets you back $3, and you get a pretty decent portion in return.

Their soft noodles are the highlight for me. The sheer springiness of the noodles reflect the conscientiousness of the owners to sharpen their craft in order to churn out the perfect bowl.

Their appetising noodles are tossed in vinegar, fried lard and their homemade chilli sauce(if you want), and they go together AMAZINGLY well. It alone is enough to persuade me to return every single time!

Their soup version is pretty tasty too, but I’d personally recommend sticking with the dry version while sipping on the bowl of soup already provided.
