Chao Zhou Fishball Noodle 潮洲魚丸粿條面 (Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre)

Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok Dry) $3.50

If you are a fan of old school style fishball noodle, you got to visit Chao Zhou Fishball Noodle 潮洲魚丸粿條面 at Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre. Do take note of their opening day and hours if you intend to visit as they can be closed between 3 to 4 days in a week.

It is hard to miss this stall as it has the longest queue in the entire hawker centre.

The fishballs are handmade early in the morning.

The fishball noodle are sold at $3.50 per bowl. Each extra piece of fishball would cost $3.50! 

Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok Dry) $3.50

This is the $3.50 dry version Fishball Mee Pok with chilli. The sauce consist of a mixture of ketchup and chilli sauce with pork lard. The mee pok was perfectly cooked and was soft yet springy. What drew the crowd was the handmade fishballs. The fishballs were huge in size and bouncy. It does not taste like those you get at most other fishball stalls where you would taste more flour and salt.

Song Heng Fishball Noodles 松興魚丸粿條面 (Telok Blangah Crescent Market & Food Centre)

Kway Teow Noodles $3

Every time I am at Telok Blangah Crescent, I am bound to see a queue at Song Heng Fishball Noodles 松興魚丸粿條面 whenever it is open. The queue is the reason why I decided to try this stall and ironically also why I am unable to eat it frequently, due to the waiting time.

The fishball noodles start from $2.50. I always order the $3 version. If you are a fan of Mee Pok, come early! It is frequently sold out by 1pm and customers would need to order other type of noodles.

The fishball noodles that you get from this stall is old-school style. There are no fanciful ingredients and nothing to shout about. But it is a decent bowl of fishball noodles which when mixed with the sauces taste so good. Also, the fishballs are handmade, not factory made, are of different sizes, fresh springy and bouncy. The other plus point is that the owner is so generous with the amount of noodles!

Mee Pok $3

If intend to eat at this stall, do come early. Although the closing time is 3pm, the stall typically closes earlier as they would be sold out at 2pm at times.

Hock Lee Fishball Noodle (Albert Centre Market & Food Centre)

Fishball Noodles (dry with no chilli) $3.50

If you are working around Bugis area and are looking for a good breakfast, give Hock Lee Fishball Noodle a try! This stall is located at Albert Centre Market and Food Centre. It opens only in the morning and start selling their noodles at 6.30 am onwards.

 So what is so unique about Hock Lee? Well, it sells handmade fishballs, not factory-made fishballs.

The fishball noodles comes at different prices, ranging from $3.50 to $5. There is always a short queue at this shop, but they clear them quite fast. Another point to note is that although the shop closes at 12 pm, sometimes they sell out by 11 am. So if you are an office worker, it is nearly impossible to try this during lunch time as they would be closed by then. 

Fishball Noodles (dry with no chilli) $3.50

The Fishball Noodles (dry with no chilli) $3.50 came with 6 pieces of fishball. The star of this is definitely their handmaded fishballs. The fishballs, of different sizes as they were handmade, were firm and springy, and slightly smooth!

Fishball Noodles (dry with chilli) $3.50

As their signboard mention about their special chilli, I had to give it a try. Hence, on another occasion, I ordered the Fishball Noodles (dry with chilli) $3.50. Personally, I thought that it was just average. Maybe it was because I felt that there was too much chilli oil. I prefer the version without chilli. 

To conclude, this is worth a try! Priced at $3.50, you get 6 pieces of fishballs along with noodles. That is effectively $0.50 for each piece of fishball and the bowl of noodles! Definitely worth it!

Teo's Noodles (Bedok Interchange Food Centre)

Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4

Teo's Noodles is a popular traditional Fishball Minced Meat Noodles (aka Bak Chor Mee) stall located at Bedok Interchange Food Centre which is just minutes away from the Bedok MRT station and interchange. 

Teo's Noodles is very popular and I understand that their food can get sold out as early as 12pm on certain days. I visited on a weekday at 9am and was surprised to see a queue (of about 6 persons) at this stall.

Menu

They sell mainly Fishball Minced Meat Noodles with the option to add Razor Clams.

Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4

I ordered the Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4. I requested for the dry version with chilli and mee pok.

Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4

It was served with a bowl of soup that was filled with fishball, meatball, button mushroom, minced meat, and otah fishcakes and normal fishcakes.

The Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams was delicious! The bowl of noodles was well cooked. The mixture of chilli sauce and vinegar complemented the noodles perfectly. In addition, the crispy bits of pork lard was the icing on the cake. The bowl of noodles which contained all the "liao" (i.e fishball, meatball, button mushroom, minced meat, and otah fishcakes and normal fishcakes) was decent. My only complaint is that they could have been more generous with the ingredients especially the minced meat. 

I will certainly patronise this stall again if I visit the hawker centre.

761 Fishball Noodles (Yishun)

Minced Meat Noodles (mee kia dry with chilli) $3

761 Fishball Noodles is located in a coffeeshop at Blk 761 at Yishun Street 72. The stall operates in the morning to early afternoon offering fishball noodles, minced meat noodles (bak chor mee) and laksa.

The waiting time is at least 20 minutes even on weekdays. Not an easy feat considering all the other stalls including other neighbourhood stalls have a lesser waiting time.

Minced Meat Noodles (mee kia dry with chilli) $3

I have eaten at this stall several times. Every time I would order the Minced Meat Noodles (mee kia dry with chilli) $3, also known as Bak Chor Mee. They have got every aspect just right. The noodles was cooked just right and was not lumpy. The chilli sauce along with the noodles and minced meat was delicious. As for the fishballs, they were big, bouncy and not fishy.

The Minced Meat Noodles may not be the best, but it was certainly delicious. This is probably one of the reason why the waiting time is so long even on a weekday! Worth a try if you are staying around this area!

Teochew Fish Ball Noodles (Wiseng Food Place)

Fishballs Noodle $3

This Teochew Fish Ball Noodles stall located at Wiseng Food Place coffee shop tucked away at a corner of Crawford Lane is a hidden gem. Although it is located a couple of blocks away from more well known Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, this stall has its own group of loyal followers too. 

Teochew Fish Ball Noodles is manned by an elderly man with more than 50 years of experience. He first operated the stall at Selegie Road before moving to Kitchener complex and subsequently to its current location at Crawford Lane. Each time, his followers will follow him to his new location.

During lunch time, the waiting time would be around 20 to 30 minutes long. The fishball noodles now cost between $3 to $4, compared to $2.50 to $3 previously. 

Fishballs Noodle $3

This is the dry version of the Fishballs Noodles (mee pok) $3 with chilli.

Fishballs Noodle $3

It is served with sliced fishcakes, fishballs, meatball, minced meat, lean meat and topped with pork lard bits, fried garlic and sliced spring onions. I love this bowl of noodles as it is a simple no frills fishball noodles with fresh ingredients. I just cannot fault the ingredients or the taste of it. It is so simple yet so delicious. I also love the yummy well balance mixture of sauce which consisted of chilli, chilli oil and vinegar. The chilli used is different from those else where.

Xiang Xiang Fishball Noodle香香 (Chong Pang Food Centre)

Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3

Xiang Xiang Fishball Noodle香香 is a fishball noodles stall located in Chong Pang Food Centre in Yishun. 

Xiang Xiang Fishball Noodle香香 is one of the more popular stall in this food centre. This stall has been around for a long time (more than 25 years ago) and has a loyal customer base. It is very popular and you can expect to wait 30 minutes for your food to be served during peak hours. This stall is one of the few which is not self-service. So you can wait for your food to be delivered to your table after ordering. Look at the number of awards displayed at the facade of the stall. They are popular for their fishballs and also old school style fishball noodles. Today, they have started selling their fshball at the price of $2 for 9 pieces of fishballs.

Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3

I visited at 3pm for tea break as I know better than to order during peak hours. I ordered the dry version of the Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3 with chilli. For $3, this was extremely value for money considering how generous they are with the ingredients. 

Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3

The mee pok was topped with generous amount of bean sprouts, spring onions and pork lard. The chilli sauce at the bottom when mixed with the noodles was a perfect match and had me wanting for more. The noodles were well cooked; soft and springy (QQ). Coupled with the bean sprouts, it provided crunchiness to this bowl of noodles. 

Fishballs

5 pieces of fishballs were provided. And it is not any normal pathetic small-sized fish balls. The fish balls here were slightly bigger than normal (elsewhere). How good is the fish ball? Well, taste is subjective. So why not let me just say this and you decide for yourself. During (every) Eve of Chinese New Year, they sell lots and lots of the fish balls (if I am right, the number of fish balls they sell is close to a couple of thousands during this period). Many customers purchase the uncooked fish balls from them and use them for their reunion steam boat and other dishes over the festive period.

To conclude, this was Cheap & Good. Have you tried this?

Fishball Story 鱼缘 (Golden Mile Food Centre)

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

Fishball Story 鱼缘 is a hawker stall manned by a young hawker, Douglas Ng, 24, specialising in serving fishball noodles. The stall is located at level one of Golden Mile Hawker Centre at Lavendar. 

So what is so unique about Fishball Story other than the fact that it is manned by a 'young hawker'? Or in marketing terms, its called USP (Unique Selling Point). Well, unlike other (most) fishball stalls, the fishballs and chilli-scallion fishcakes are all handmade! He would arrive as early as 4am to blend the fish paste. The fishballs are made entirely from yellow tail fish with no flour.

 In case you are wondering, the queue here is short. The most number of people i have seen queuing here is around 5. Sometimes, there is no queue.

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

I ordered Mee Pok Fishball Noodles (dry) $3.50.

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

It comes fishballs, chilli-scallion fishcakes, fish dumpling (herh qiao), mee pok, pork lard, shallots, lettuce and sambal chilli sauce!

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50

What was fantastic to me was the mee pok and the sambal chilli sauce. The mee pok was cooked perfectly; just nice! As for the sambal chilli sauce which was cooked with hae bi (dried shrimps), it was so fragrant and addictive; outstanding! When mixed with the noodles, it complemented the noodles perfectly; lip smacking! Just the noodles and the sambal chilli sauce itself would suffice for me!

Frankly speaking, when I first tried the handmade fishballs, I was surprised. I did not like the initial taste. The exterior of the fishball was firm, but the interior was tough, not bouncy and not spongy. I am probably too used to factory made fishballs and was not used to this version of handmade fishballs with no flour.

I went back again two weeks later as I really missed the noodles and sambal chilli noodles (no joke!). It was still as good. This time I got used to the fishballs and enjoyed them more. This is a case of the more you have it the more you will love it.

I can forsee myself coming back for more fishball noodles (especially the sambal chilli)! Going to rate this as a die die must try!

Ah Koong Restaurant 亚坤纯正西刀鱼丸 (Malaysia, Johor Bahru)

Mee Pok (dry)

Ah Koong Restaurant 亚坤纯正西刀鱼丸 is apparently a famous eatery chain in Malaysia well-known for their fish ball noodles. Ah Koong Restaurant has five branches and a manufacturing factory in Malaysia, of which, three branches are located in Johor Bahru.

On their website, they claim that their fish balls contain no preservatives.

We visited its outlet near Taman Sentosa at Jalan Sutera.

Menu

Menu

Their menu was very well organised. They sell mainly fish ball noodles, yong tau foo, fish soup, porridge, oyster soup, abalone soup and laksa.

When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, the Ah Koong Restaurant was packed! Fill to the brim, luckily the turnover was fast. There was also a long line of people queuing up for takeaways.

Crispy Fish (cakes)

We ordered their Crispy Fish Cakes RM4.2 per piece. This fish cake is a must try here. Springy and crispy. Delicious!

Crispy Prawn (cakes)

We also ordered the Crispy Prawn Cakes RM 5.50 per piece. This was quite good too. But if I was to choose, the fish cakes fared better.

Tea

My tea.

Mee Pok (dry)

Another must order at Ah Koong Restaurant, the Fish Ball Noodles (Mee Pok dry) RM 6.20. The bowl of mee pok was tossed in a mixture of black sauce with pork lard and topped with spring onions.

Soup

It was served with fish balls, sliced fish cakes, deep fried dumpling, ngoh hiang (five-spice meat roll), seaweed, lettuce. The fish balls were quite good before I knew it, it was all in my stomach! The fish balls were soft and yet not mushy with enough bounciness to provide a good bite.

Simple unpretentious food that is delicious!

Heng Heng Fishball Noodle (Albert Centre Market & Food Centre) CLOSED

*Edited on Apr 2018: CLOSED

Heng Heng Fishball Noodle located at Albert Centre Market & Food Centre specialises in fishball noodles. At the hawker centre you are spoilt for choice as there are so many stalls selling a wide variety of food. There were at least 3 stalls selling fishball noodles. 

I decided to try Heng Heng Fishball Noodle as there was a queue at the stall. (As you may notice, I am a typical Singaporean haha, goes where there's a queue)

I queue for around 20 minutes before I got to order my food. 

Fishball Minced Meat Noodle (dry) $3

I ordered the dry version of the Fishball Minced Meat Noodle. The fishballs, meatball, meat dumpling, fish cakes and minced meat were served in a bowl of soup, separately from the noodles. As usual, I upsized my order to $3 instead of $2.50 (that's how greedy I am). 

Fishball Minced Meat Noodle (dry) $3

Don't be mislead by the photo above. The portion of noodles (mee pok) given was huge; a whole chunk! The noodles was topped with pork lard and spring onion to increase the fragrance.  I gave it a good mix as the seasoning was at the bottom. I had a hard time mixing the noodles with the sauce as the noodles was cluttered together in a lump. The noodles was very disappointing, it was overcooked. I did not finish it.

Fishball Minced Meat Noodle (dry) $3

The bowl of soup chocked full of ingredients fared better. They are very generous with their ingredients such as fishball, fish cakes and also minced meat. The soup was laden with MSG.

Overall, I would say that Heng Heng Fishball Noodle are very generous with their ingredients. But their Fishball Minced Meat Noodle was really disappointing. Maybe they will fare better with their Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle. For now, I doubt that I will be back anytime soon as there are so many more stalls  for me to try.

ps: This hawker centre needs better ventilation. It is quite warm, in fact, it is down right hot. Definitely not a place for the first date. But there are gems in here worth the wait and heat for. For example the Fish Soup at Angle Horse Teochew Fish Soup and Seafood Hor Fun at Four Seas are worth a try if you are there.
