After the impressive appetizer (Hup Kee Oyster Omelette) and less stellar dessert (88 Shan Ren Cheng Tng), it's time to zero in to our main course for this planned visit to Newton Hawker Centre!
XO Minced Meat Noodles (XO 肉脞面) - you can't really miss this 24-hour stall as it's one of the first few stalls you would notice once you enter from the main entrance of the food centre. It's recommended by some bloggers although the current Google review score was low; mainly due to poor service.
It's rare to see many other ingredients almost shielding the noodles from sight but this bowl cost S$5.00 so i guess many people, especially locals, would not have expected anything less.
First bite of the noodle and I must say it totally was my style; thin with a good, chewy bite that wasn't too soggy. Glad that I requested for just a bit of chilli to up the palatability.
The ingredients which included braised mushrooms, sliced fish cakes, minced pork, sliced pork, meat ball and an ingredient that wasn't commonly found in your bowl of bak chor mee; crispy vegetarian goose! p.s. not complaining as I have always liked it.
Not your typical meat ball; it's the delicious kind with minced pork hidden inside. Not the best although definitely one of the better ones that didn't leave a bad taste in the mouth.
Despite the fact that this might not be your typical bak chor mee, I personally thought it's a pretty decent, local noodle meal for any tourist. p.s. this XO minced meat noodle has actually quite a few branches and I found one near where I work! Not sure if the quality is consistent.
