When it comes to Singapore's culinary scene, variety is truly the spice of life. Tucked away in the bustling Ayer Rajah Food Centre is a gem waiting to be discovered: Xiang Kee Lor Mee. This unassuming stall offers a delightful twist on a traditional favourite, Penang Hokkien Lor Mee, that promises a flavourful journey you won't forget.

A Unique Spin on Lor Mee

Lor Mee is typically known for its thick, starchy gravy that wraps around every noodle, offering a comforting, savoury experience. However, Xiang Kee's Penang Hokkien Lor Mee shakes things up in the best possible way. Instead of the usual slush of thick gravy, this dish combines the richness of traditional Lor Mee with a fragrant prawn broth. The result? A mouthwatering medley that combines the best of both worlds—an aromatic prawn-infused gravy that enhances the overall taste experience.

The first spoonful surprises with its layered flavours. The prawn aroma weaves through the gravy, adding a subtle sweetness and depth that is quite different from what you’d expect from a typical Lor Mee. It’s a delightful change, offering a new dimension to the traditional dish without straying too far from its roots.

Fresh Ingredients that Shine

The ingredients in Xiang Kee's Penang Hokkien Lor Mee play a significant role in the dish's appeal. You'll find perfectly sliced fish cakes, tender pork slices, and two crunchy prawns that add texture and flavour. Each element is cooked to perfection, contributing to a balanced and satisfying bowl of goodness.

The noodles deserve special mention as well. Nicely blanched, they have just the right amount of bite, providing a firm yet chewy texture that holds up well to the sauce. This attention to detail ensures that each mouthful is as enjoyable as the last.

A Satisfying Meal Without Breaking the Bank

One of the best parts about Xiang Kee's Penang Hokkien Lor Mee is its price. At just $4, this dish offers great value for money. The portion size is generous, making it a filling option for a simple lunch. It's a satisfying meal that leaves you feeling content without leaving a dent in your wallet.

While it may not be the most extravagant dish on the menu, Xiang Kee's Penang Hokkien Lor Mee is a comforting and tasty option that delivers on flavour and satisfaction. It's the kind of meal you crave when you want something hearty and reliable.

Worth a Try at Ayer Rajah Food Centre

In the ever-evolving landscape of Singapore's food scene, it's refreshing to find a dish that marries tradition with innovation. Xiang Kee Lor Mee's Penang Hokkien Lor Mee does just that, offering a unique taste experience that stands out from the crowd.

Whether you're a Lor Mee enthusiast or a curious foodie looking for your next culinary adventure, Xiang Kee is worth a visit. The combination of prawn-infused gravy and well-prepared ingredients makes for a memorable meal that will have you coming back for more.

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...

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...
