Seletar Sheng Mian. Mian Fen Guo @ Kebun Bahru Food Centre - Comforting Bowl Of Noodle With Long Queue

Together with my foodie friends, we paid a visit to Kebun Bahru Food Centre to explore the good food along the new Thomson East MRT Line. A popular stall at the food centre with a constant queue is Seletar Sheng Mian. Mian Fen Guo.

There is actually two Seletar Sheng Mian. Mian Fen Guo in Singapore. The elder brother runs the one in Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Food Centre. The other by the younger brother is at Kebun Bahru Food Centre.

Sheng Mian Soup 4/5

The bowl of Sheng Mian Soup ($3.50) comes with egg, ikan bilis, fried shallots, vegetable, prawn, minced pork and lean pork. Having tried the elder's brother cooking, I thought the noodle had a lesser alkaline taste, and the soup was not as rich. However, it is still a bowl of comforting, slurping goodness.

Mian Fen Guo 

The gang prefers the Mian Fen Guo Dry ($3.50) with a sweet dark sauce. What kept us going back for more was the texture of the mee hoon kuey. The more you bite into it, the more the chewy texture grows on you. The addition of ikan bilis further enhanced the flavours with an extra crunchy texture.

Seletar Sheng Mian & Mee Hoon Kway @ Toa Payoh Lorong 8 - Snaking Queue For Their Noodles

I was running errands in the area and decided to walk over to Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Food Centre to find breakfast. A snaking queue at Seletar Sheng Mian. Mee Hoon Kway caught my attention and I decided to join the queue to check out for myself what the fuss is about. I follow MissTamChiak blog so I know this is one of her favourite stalls which she eats with her grandpa almost every week. However, I did not know that they actually have another stall beside the one at Kebun Baru Food Centre.

I did some research online and released that Seletar Sheng Mian & Mee Hoon Kway started at Seletar Food Centre. When the food centre was demolished, the elder brother moved to Toa Payoh Lorong 8 while the other brother settled down at Kebun Baru Food Centre.

Sheng Mian Soup 4.2/5

A bowl of noodle at the stall starts from $3. I had the Sheng Mian Soup ($4) which comes with egg, ikan bilis, fried shallots, vegetables, 2 prawns, minced pork and lean pork. The portion is quite generous with the variety of ingredients. The noodle looks a bit like our maggie mee but its less crispy and much softer. While the noodle is enjoyable and comes with a nice bite, the star is the soup made using pork bones and ikan bilis. It is the sweet soup that carries and hold the whole dish together.

Mee Hoon Kway Soup 4.2/5

My wife ordered the Mee Hoon Kway Soup ($4) which uses the same soup base and comes with the same variety of ingredients. The mee hoon kway is more doughy and chewy. In short, its up to individual which type of noodles you prefer to go with that excellent bowl of soup.

The stall also offers the dry version for both the sheng mian and mee hoon kway. I did not try during my visit but I noticed some of the customers having it and the chilli does look quite shiok. I look forward in coming back to try the dry version next time.
