Yong Xiang Home Made Noodle (Amoy Street Food Centre)

There was a long queue at this stall during week day lunch time, at least 15 people in the queue! Well, part of the reason why there is such a long queue is because there is only 1 person mending this stall. One aunty in fact. She takes the order, cook and collects the money. I wonder how she cope with preparation of ingredients and handle the whole stall herself. Her stall is one of the few in the food centre given a Grade A!

Menu

Handmade noodles for $2.50. Wow, this is the cheapest I have seen. This is even cheaper than Qiu Yun Ban Mian at Golden Mile Food Centre.

Yu (You) Mian $3.00

Despite the crowd, the aunty stilled chatted with customers as she was collecting the money. She informed me to leave the money on the table. Before I picked my tray up, I told her to keep the money. Her reply was 'do not worry about the money, your food is more important'. Wow, what a reply!

Yu (You) Mian $3.00

I upsized the Yu (You) Mian to $3.00. The hand made you mian was fragrant. However, some of the strands of noodles were lumped together. The broth was light, clear and flavourful. It came along with a small prawn, a slice of fish, pork meat, egg and leafy vegetable. I was most impress with the slice of fish as it was fresh, firm and sweet! A very decent and cheap bowl of home made noodle! Cheap and Good. I will not mind queuing for this again.

Ban Mee (Coleman Street Food Centre)

*Edited on Sept 2013: Closed*

I was wondering around Peninsula Shopping Centre when I chanced upon Coleman Street Food Centre.

Coleman Street Food Centre

If you noticed the above picture. It looks like this is a new food centre as previously, this place was called Choon Sheng Seafood Kitchen.

Coleman Street Food Centre is brightly lit and clean. Tables arranged in rows to maximise the capacity. Looks new. There was still a few empty stalls available for rent.

I decided to buy homemade noodles from the Ban Mee stall.

You Mian $3.00

At $3.00 the You Mian is quite value for money as most outlets sell this at a much higher price. The lowest I have came across so far is $2.80. This is a decent bowl of You Mian (Ban Mian). The broth was tasty, not salty. Each strand of noodle was well separated and flavourful. Moreover, generous portion of vegetables and minced meat was given. 

If you are working in the area looking for cheap food, this is a value for money alternative.

Qiu Yun Ban Mian (Golden Mile Food Centre)

I have noticed that there was always a queue at this stall; Qiu Yun Ban Mian (Not Qiu Lian Ban Mian) during my visits to Golden Mile Food Centre or Beach Road Army Market. There are no reviews in the internet on this place at all. But I am sure there's a reason for the queue.

During this visit, the queue stretched all the way to the opposite stall. I noticed that this stall is manned by a young Chinese couple. The female takes the order, collects the money and prepare the ingredients for cooking. Interestingly, the male does the cooking, multitasking between 4 stoves.

Menu

A quick glance at some of the items and prices. I noticed that the items are relatively cheap.

Yu (You) Mian $2.80

I queued for almost 20 minutes before receiving my order. Quite fast despite the queue. I was shocked when I received my order as you may notice from the above picture, there was no vegetables given. Thinking that it was a mistake, I inform the lady, but she told me there was no mistake.

Well this is the Yu Mian / You Mian. The broth was surprisingly flavourful. The You Mian (thin noodles) normally hand made by each individual stall was delicious! One can taste the fragrant and flavour in each strand of the noodle. It has been a long time since I ate a You Mian that was this fragrant and flavourful. Overall, a very decent bowl of You Mian. In addition, at $2.80, this is very cheap as most other handmade noodles stalls sells their You Mian at $3.30 or $3.50 at other coffee shops. The only down side was the lack of vegetables. Qiu Yun Ban Mian is certainty worth a try. No wonder there is always a perpetual queue at the stall.
