Min Ji Laksa @ Bendemeer Food Centre - Old School, Nostalgic Laksa

IMG_9840ed

I got to know about Min Ji Laksa at Bendemeer Food Centre from fellow foodie Leroy, The Hungry Cow who used to stay at the area during his childhood day. Apparently the stall has been around for more than 17 years. The stall sells only two items, Laksa and Mee Rebus.

Laksa 3.5/5

The bowl of Laksa ($3) comes with egg, fish cakes, tau pok and cockles. The laksa broth is not those creamy and lemak type, but it comes with an old school, nostalgic flavour that triggered the childhood memory of mine. It reminded me of the same laksa taste that my mum used to buy my weekend breakfast from the downstair coffeeshop.

I can't say this is the best laksa I have tasted but it definitely brings a warm and comforting feel to the hearty bowl of laksa. A tip from Leroy is to purchase the youtiao from next door to soak up the laksa broth.

One Ton Noodle @ Bendemeer Food Centre - Very Shiok Chilli Sauce Wanton Mee

IMG_7057ed

During our last visit to Bendemeer Food Centre, we noticed a very interesting stall signboard, One Ton Noodle. Needless to say, the stall sells wanton mee. From the exterior look of the stall, it seems that the owner has just only joined the neighourhood.

Wanton Mee 4/5

The Wanton Mee ($3/$4) at One Ton Noodle is the tomato based type. The good thing is that it is not those overly sweet type but just enough to give it a subtle sweet finishing. What stood out for the wanton mee at One Ton Noodle is the chilli sauce that delivers a spicy shiokness while not numbing the senses.

The noodle is not the springy that but it still has a good bite to it. The char siew may not be the best but it is good enough with its texture.

Sarawak Kolo Mee 3/5

Besides wanton mee, the stall also sells Sarawak Kolo Mee ($3.50/$4.50). The bowl of noodle comes with minced meat, fried wanton, char siew and some vegetables. If not for the fragrant shallot oil, it would be just an ordinary bowl of noodle.

I would recommend trying the wanton mee with chilli sauce. The chilli sauce is really shiok with a good spicy kick. For the cost, I find that the amount of noodle is also very generous.
