Very solid savoury-salty stock, with a good smokiness, layering of flavours and a prominent dried sole fish accent. The mee hoon kway was chewy and biteable, and the meat and meat and prawn balls were fresh, flavourful, bouncy and soft. Very nice.
Overall, the noodles served at Jiak Song is pretty decent and I would not mind queuing if the wait is not too long. They have done well in terms of making the soup base but the soup is not the best I have tried. If you like a lighter version of the ban mian, you would probably love Jiak Song’s version.
To me, good food is always worth the wait, and that would be the case for Jiak Song Mee Hoon Kway.
