Hearty Miniwok Noodles @ Ming Fa 明发

 


What to eat at Ming Fa 明发 besides their fishball noodles? We tried out their miniwork noodles or xiao guo mian 小锅面 for this food review.

Quantity of noodles were definitely more than other similar stalls, springy and yummilicious. Sauce mix is on the dry side, not overtly greasy, topped with braised mushrooms and covered with sufficient aromatic park lard and crispy deep fried pork lard. Chili added was spicy, adding the needed shiokness.

We could just had the noodles and stayed perfectly satisfied. But came their bowl of hearty soul warming soup with tons of ingredients.

To start of the assault of items, there was a huge meatball, a huge signature fishball, both packing a nice bite, a gooey freshly cracked egg that added texture and dimension to the soup that was filled with tons of porky bits everywhere. Next were tender and perfectly made pork liver slices, not over cooked, as well as tenderlicious and marvelously marinated pork slices. To top it all off, a single crunchy shelled prawn.

Soup was amazingly sweet and savoury, good for any type of weather, or even time of the day.

Price ranges from $6.50 to $8, and we got the base of $6.50. Besides the quantity served being satisfying and filling, quality was great and enjoyable. Recommended!

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...

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...
