Arrived at 5.56am, before this stall’s opening time of 6am as stated by Google but was informed that there’s already a queue and that the wait will be 20 mins.

Ordered Mee Kia Soup, $6.00, which is the large portion. The word large is misleading because in terms of noodles, it is quite normal but you get extra ingredients.

After ordering, you take a seat first and wait. When you receive your chopsticks spoon and chilli sauce, this signals that your order will be prepared soon. You make your way back to the stall and collect your noodles. Really respect the memory of the uncle manning the stall. He remembers your face, where you are sitting and what is your order. And there are so many in the queue!

In my bowl of noodles there’s a lot of stuff. Fishballs, fish dumplings, sliced pork, sliced fish cake and sliced pork liver. Both the fish balls and the fish dumplings were factory made but quite delicious. The soup is quite normal and I wish the noodles was a little more al dente but overall, it was a bowl of very traditional Teochew fishball noodles.

In spite of the prospect of another long wait, I am keen to come try their dry version with chilli. Soon.
