The distance
between Yishun MRT station and my house was only about a five-minute walk but
for the past few weeks, I had noticed a banner that's placed right outside the
S11 coffee shop and I can't miss the Chinese characters "古早味", which means the
traditional taste, on it.
At my age, the
traditional taste would sometimes evoke nice memories of my childhood and I
gamely asked my parents to join me this evening to check out the supposedly
'traditional-tasting' Hokkien Mee!
There's always
a queue at the stall and tonight's no exception although I only waited about six
minutes to get my two plates of noodles as the chef was already preparing a big
wok for distribution when I joined the line.
Compared to
the mouthwatering picture on the banner, I was taken aback by how different the
plate of Hokkien mee was in reality; it didn't have that visual draw and I
thought it looked kind of dismal at $4 a plate with just two prawns and hardly
any squid.
A generous
sprinkling of crispy pork lard might help to increase its appeal and entice me
to salivate a bit. The good thing is that there were quite a few pieces of pork
belly but you kind of couldn't see them as they were relatively well hidden in
the midst of thick bee hoon.
Taste wise -
the stall made good on its claim for the traditional taste and each strand of
noodle was coated with a thick gravy that was both rich and intense in flavor! I
slurped up every delicious strand like a child totally immersed in enjoying the
plate of Hokkien mee! Do eat the noodle as soon as you could as the gravy tends
to dry up pretty fast!
