Lam's Abalone Noodle Restaurant 阿南鲍鱼面 (Marina Square)

Lam's Abalone Noodle Restaurant 阿南鲍鱼面 was established by a person known as Ah Lam. He first started out in the early 1950s selling "Mini Wok Noodle" before being one of the first to sell abalone noodle in a coffee shop. Today, the Lam's Abalone Noodle Restaurant which he found has 3 outlets (addresses are appended at the end of this post).
We visited the outlets in Marina Square which is located at level 4; the same level as the The Gallerie (Food Court), Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice, Hotpot Culture and The Corner Place (Korean BBQ). The crowd on a weekend evening. 
Lam's Abalone Noodle Restaurant has its own seating capacity which was largely under-utilised during my visit on a weekend evening. One of the reason could be because most people would bring their food to the food court to join their friends or families.

The menu which ranges from noodles (e.g. abalone noodles, mini wok noodles, etc) to Salted Baked Chicken rice, dumplings soup to smoked duck!  
Signature Specialty Noodle $5.20
I ordered their Signature Specialty Noodle $5.20 which came with fish ball, sliced meat, minced meat, vegetables, seaweed, a prawn, half an egg, fish skin and crunchy pork lard. It was so full of ingredients that you would not be able to see the noodles (mee pok) underneath! It is similar to Bak Chor Mee (Minced meat noodles)
Signature Specialty Noodle $5.20
I was impressed with this bowl of Signature Specialty Noodle. The mee pok mixed with the pork lard and special sauce was just so fragrant and flavourful! The sauce made a huge difference. It had such a unique and delectable flavour that the more I ate it, the more I love it. The downside was that the prawn was not fresh. Nevertheless, I quite like this bowl of noodles!
Teochew Dumplings Soup $3.50
The Signature Specialty Noodle was so good that it ignite my taste buds. I was still hungry (after wolfing down the noodles) and longed for more. Hence, I made my way back to the counter and ordered a bowl of Teochew Dumplings Soup $3.50 with high expectations.
Teochew Dumplings Soup $3.50
It was a big mistake. Ouch. We both agreed that the Teochew Dumplings were badly executed. It was tasteless and the skin was just too thick.

Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles 福建炒虾面 (Upper Serangoon Road)

Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles 福建炒虾面 is located at Mee Sek Food Court along Upper Serangoon Road (5 minutes from Kovan MRT station). This stall is located in the same place as the famous Punggol Nasi Lemak. 
I visited on a weekday evening. Although it was self service, I waited for not more than 10 minutes before my order was ready. 

The Fried Hokkien Mee was available in $4, $5 and $6. If you require additional chilli, it would cost at an additional $0.50.

Yi Ji 's Fried Hokkien Mee $5 used thin bee hoon (instead of thick bee hoon) and yellow noodles. There were 3 pieces of prawns, a few pieces of squids and lean meat. Their version was also slightly drier with little broth underneath  the noodles. 
Fried Hokkien Mee $5
Although the Fried Hokkien Mee had great texture and was flavourful, it seems to lacked wok hei and the unique flavourful attained when fried with pork lard. There was no pork lard found in my plate of Hokkien Mee. The prawns were firm and fresh. 

The sambal chilli added at the side was super spicy as proclaimed on its signboard. Although it was very spicy, it lacked fragrant. I ate tried the chilli a few times before stopping as it oerwhemled the other flaours. 

Overall, it was quite a decent plate of Hokkien Mee.
