Ng Kee Teochew Fish Ball Kuay Teow Mee (Taman Jurong Market)

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.

The stall is so popular, I only managed to lay my hands on a bowl after my fourth visit when I visited the food centre real early at 8am (the previous visits were at about 10am).
.
I had the largest bowl of fish ball mee pok dry ($3/$4/$5) which came with four fish balls, a few slices of lean pork, pig's liver, halved prawns and several fish dumplings.
.
The fish balls had better texture and taste than those from Leng Huat while the freshness of the halved prawns and lean pork were nothing to complain about. Although the pig's liver is no longer pink, the texture is still tender. As for the fish dumplings, they were not slimy like some places do so it is all good.
.
I am quite excited to spot dong cai (preserved Tianjin cabbage) in the soup because I could not remember when was the last time I see any noodle stall using it. The soup is nice to drink and not too heavy on msg or salt.
