Since we had a group of five persons dining at Newton Food Centre that day, we opted for a large serving of the hokkien mee, wrapped with the most traditional, and natural opeh leaf.
According to the staff, and the small placard stuck to the wrapped leaf, we had to let the hokkien mee 'simmer" for between five to ten minutes, before squeezing in the lime for the best enjoyment!
After an excruciating five minutes, we impatiently unwrapped the leaf, revealing the jewel within, with a puff of steam rising from the noodles!
With the hokkien mee being so tightly packed for what seemed like eternity, what appeared in front of me was like an unappetising smosh of noodles that appeared too dry for my liking.
Despite the Greatest Kon's negative verdict, I thought the taste was acceptable, albeit a bit on the bland side, with wok hei weaker than what I expected. The dryness I assumed didn't materialize as it was more like a semi-wet consistency with the noodles sufficiently soaking up the broth!
