Slurping Good Times: Dive into Soup Noodles Delight at Cheng San Market’s Xiang Kee Yu Yuan Mian Tang

 


In the heart of Cheng San Market, where the crowds weave through food stalls, locals queue up at Xiang Kee even on weekdays. It's an unassuming hawker stall that steals the spotlight with its famed soup noodles.

Queuing Chronicles

If you're not a morning person, brace yourself for the shock of a long queue at Xiang Kee. Picture this – 20 hungry souls eagerly waiting for their bowl of comfort. Surprisingly, the assembly line moves like a well-oiled machine, and in just 15 minutes, we found ourselves seated with anticipation.

The Clear Symphony of Soup

The first spoonful of broth from Xiang Kee's soup noodles hits your palate like a gentle melody. Clear, not overwhelmingly robust, yet possessing a subtlety that makes you want more.

Ingredients Galore

For a mere $5, we opted for the larger bowl, and boy, were we in for a treat! The generous portion boasted a carnival of ingredients – fluffy minced pork, tender slices of pork liver, fish cakes that were practically clouds in disguise, and the star of the show – fish balls with a kick of chili flakes. Bouncy, chewy, and thoroughly satisfying, these little flavor bombs elevated the dish.

Auntie's Friendly Touch

While the soup noodles might not be winning any Michelin stars, the amiable auntie handling orders adds a personal touch to the experience. Her friendliness is the secret sauce that enhances the overall dining atmosphere.

Conclusion

Xiang Kee Yu Yuan Mian Tang's soup noodles won't send you to flavor euphoria, but the hefty queue testifies to its popularity. It's a simple, affordable bowl that caters to the local taste buds. So, if you find yourself in Cheng San Market, don't shy away from joining the queue – your taste buds will thank you.

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...
