Fusion between Japanese flavour and local bak chor mee, Li Yuan's mee pok made headlines some years back with it's uniqueness. Let's find out how we thought of it.

They offer 2 flavours; miso and shoyu, with dry or soup versions. We got both flavours and the main difference was the sauce mix. Ingredients were exactly the same.

Miso was salty, subtle sweetness yet earthy, leaving a pleasant sweet after taste. Shoyu was light, savoury and full of umami flavour. Other mix were thrown in as well to create a harmonious and intricate creation.

Noodles were blanched nice and soft, coated evenly and holds well with the sauce mix. Scattered on top were fluffy and light fried pork lard pieces, unlike some other stalls which are thick and flat. They were addictive like potato chips but even better.

Next were 2 thick slices of chashu, fatty and tenderlicious, giving the extra bite and volume to every mouthful.

Minced pork were soft, fluffy and had a good proportion of fatty and lean meat, and it soaks and mixed nicely with the sauce mix. So potent and yummy!

Finally, a meatball and single slice of abalone was added, perhaps to justify the price of each bowl, which comes at $6 or $7.

It was undoubtedly tasty and full of flavour. However the level of greasiness and slick may not suit health conscious diners.

Was it worth $6 a bowl of Japanese fusion mee pok? Probably, but definitely not something you will have on a daily basis.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉) in Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉) – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a luxurious egg sauce gravy that cl...

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics. On the side, we had their deep fried pork cutlet, chopped into bite-sized chunks. They were fabulously deep in distinct flavour, crunchy and varying and superior in taste and texture. Although greasy, it was a marvelous pairi...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
