Given that lor mee is my one of my favourite food, how can I not give this stall at Bukit Purmei a try.
It was probably under renovation when I visited it last week.
Made a 2nd trip and I was rewarded this time, it was open with a long queue snaking all the way to the car park behind the HDB block.
Just like what I have read about and was expecting such a scene too.
I ordered the largest serving of $3.50 a bowl. Didn't took me long to get my gooey bowl of noodles top with lots of chilli and garlic.
It comes with a satisfactory variety of delicious ingredients like ngor hiang, fish cake, braised meat, char siew, meat nuggets etc.
There are two different types of hokkien yellow noodles sold at this stall; the flat yellow type and the round yellow noodles.
I personally prefer the flat type of yellow noodles commonly used for lor mee.
The noodles were nicely cooked, did not lump together and the texture of the noodles was just right.
The determining factor of a good bowl of lor mee is the dark brown stock of the lor mee.
For this stall, the stock of the lor mee was thickened with cornstarch ... coated each strand of noodles nicely
making the noodles very slippery and smooth to savour.
However ... I find the gooey gravy a little too sweet for my likings.
And it lacks the aroma of lor chap which a pipping hot bowl of lor mee should gives off.
It's definitely one of the better lor mee around but it's not the best, for me at least.
