Ah Jie Hokkien Mee (阿杰福建炒虾面) @ Ang Mo Kio Food Loft Coffeeshop[Singapore]

Craving for hokkien mee one Sunday morning after hair treatment at Ang Mo Kio, I ran a nearby search on Google Maps and chanced upon Ah Jie Hokkien Mee, located just about 200 meters away! 

Commanding a review score of 4.4 from close to 400 reviewers, this was one of the few rare instances where the hawker stalls were helmed by Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012. 

Of course, the older generations, like mine, should support the continuation of the hawker culture by the younger generation! The stall had also been featured on quite a few media, including Sunday Times, and even my favorite food blogger; ieatishootipost! 

Unlike most hokkien mee stalls, request for extra pork lard actually required an additional payment of S$1.00! I love pork lard, but not to the extent of paying more when it is typically free. Furthermore, I am not sure if they were even good in the first place. 

Wait for this was almost twenty minutes! 

Swimming in a pool of seemingly rich broth, the one thing that caught my attention was the excessive serving of sliced pork belly! Aside from three prawns, the S$6 plate of hokkien mee also contained pieces of sotong.

Chilli was sourish and spicy, augmenting well with the intensely savory fried noodles and flavourful broth that had subtle hints of almost being charred. p.s. not as sweet as some hokkien mee stalls. Prawns were fried, pork belly didn't taste pork and sotong was decent. 

Now the pork lard. Were they worth to pay S$1 more for extra serving? My recommendation for pork lard lovers; go for it! While not as crispy as I thought they should be, I was taken aback by how fresh and yummy they were, and regretted not paying the S$1!

Shall be back when I next had my hair treatment at Ang Mo Kio!
