Apart from the flavorful broth, the noodles themselves are a testament to No. 25's culinary expertise. They were perfectly cooked, retaining just the right amount of bite. The sauce that enveloped them was a harmonious blend of the broth's essence, vinegar for a touch of tanginess, soy sauce for depth, and lard for an indulgent richness. This combination resulted in a symphony of savory flavors that left me craving for more.
The pork slices and pork liver in the soup were quite meagre although well cooked and fresh, but the her keow was gummy and flavourful and the fish maw added variation. The noodles was good too, cooked just nice, and flavourful with nicely crispy pork lard and tee poh. Something I will come back specially for.
What sets No. 25 Minced Meat Noodles is the tantalising bowl of soup. Cooked for almost 10 hours, the soup could be a dish on its own!
Very simple and tasty flavours, moderately savoury spicy with soft chewy noodles, normal bouncy fishballs, and crispy and fragrant lard. I can see why it’s a favourite in the neighbourhood, with solid reliable old school and not too forward flavours.
It’s no wonder many residents come flocking to 昇记 Sheng Ji Fishball Noodle! There’s not only good food to look forward to, but stellar customer service as well! Now I’m having high expectations of their fried kway teow as well, which means I’ll be back here in the near future!
The Mala Kolo Mee will fare well among mala fans out there but the OG prawn noodles are definitely not to be missed, especially if you have a penchant for rich flavours!
The pork ribs was tender and savoury umami, tasting like braised pork ribs. The prawns were so so in terms of sweetness and texture though. All these made for a very nice and drinkable prawn noodle soup the next day, with nicely cooked noodles sitting in great tasty broth.
The noodles in the white Sarawak Kolo Mee were springy and quite fragrant, and the minced meat was nicely marinated and salty sweet, lifting the flavours nicely. But I thought the sauce was a bit meagre and could be a bit more punchy. The noodles were a bit dry as such, and so was the char siew.
I enjoy a bowl of well-made noodles, and Chun Seng Noodle House certainly gave me that.
I do taste some vinegar in the sauce but on the whole, the flavors are well balanced and complemented each other nicely without any trying to outshine the others.
It really is something unique that we can share with world!
Lye Bo might not offer an extensive menu, but it more than makes up for it with its focus on quality. Their selection of tossed noodles is deliberately concise, featuring only three straightforward options.
