Shiok Hokkien Mee Bedok

Shiok! One word to describe it: Shiok! Truly, indeed is Shiok!

This wet-style Hokkien mee is rich, umami, very creamy, and full with wok hei. It’s made with a mix of yellow noodles and thin bee hoon, and I like how the bee hoon absorbs the umami stock well, no matter how long you take to eat it. Great selection of noodles!

Ingredients include pork belly, sotong, eggs, and three tender, peeled prawns. The very generous amount of garlic enhances the fragrance, adding depth to the dish.

The pork lard is soft and crispy, though I found it overcooked, resulting in a deep oil-heavy taste. A squeeze of lime adds a refreshing zest to balance it out.

I think the chilli deserves a special mention. This was the first time the heat made my eyes tear up instead of just causing ear ringing, which means BIG spicy, not just the usual sweating. Dammnn spicy but also dammnnn shiok! This got to be the spiciest chilli I’ve ever had in a plate of Hokkien mee.

Had a later lunch than usual on a weekday (this was at 12:15pm) & this was a 15-min wait... To be clear: This was food preparation time, not queuing time; so I was sitting down comfortably, chillin' & waiting for the buzzer to beep.

While I personally wouldn't go out of my way to dine here, it is better than your average Hokkien Mee. I'd come back again because it is convenient for me, & it is a comforting dish to have 👌🏻

I expected more wok hei, but that notwithstanding, this was a decent plate of wet Hokkien Mee. Saucyness level was good; chilli packs a punch & compliments the flavours well.

I ordered the large portion ($10) to share between 2 people & it was sufficient; good amount of ingredients that were fresh. If you wanted more, you can add-on specific ingredients at various prices - I might do that next time.
