My friend Jennifer (@qiuuing), who stays at Bukit Batok area, has been eating the Hokkien Mee from The NeighbourWok 街坊, and I have been drooling over her delicious food posting. She arouses my curiosity about what makes the plate of Hokkien Mee so good that she has been a repeat customer.
To prepare to wait up to a good 30 minutes at least. While I was there, there were many delivery orders and customers patiently sitting around the coffeeshop, waiting for their collection buzzers to sound. I would recommend waiting away from the stall. This is because the whole coffeeshop becomes very smokey whenever the stall cooks a new batch.
The Fried Hokkien Mee ($4/ $5) comes with egg, prawn, pork belly slices, squid and pork lard. The style reminds me of Come Daily Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee at Toa Payoh. It is the gooey type, neither too wet nor dry, soaking up the flavoursome stock.
To enjoy the fried hokkien mee to the fullest, let the sour tinge from the accompanying sambal chilli perks up the appreciation of the slurping goodness, further fragrant by the pork lard bits. It is a decent plate of fried hokkien mee worth the calories if you stay in the West.
