After watching Our Makan Places: Lost and Found on TV, I decided to try the Tiong Bahru lor mee where the stall had relocated to Bukit Batok St. 11. Since the stall only opens in the morning till lunchtime daily, I was set to be disappointed when I decided to go to the stall at around 1pm. Nonetheless, I was happy to see that the stall was still open and serving.

As expected, there’s a queue, but luckily the service is quite fast. It costs SGD2.00 for a bowl, a bigger bowl will cost SGD3.00.

Normally, I’m not a big fan of Singapore lor mee. The dark sauce is normally too starchy for my liking and I’ll get ‘jelak’ even before I finish the whole bowl. I’ll normally put alot of vinegar to mask the starch taste as well. That’s how I have my lor mee, until this. This one tasted pretty good. The sauce is good and it has quite a good amount of ingredient. The lor mee also has a good amount of chopped garlic in it, which really gives it a good aroma and taste. I give it a rating of 8.5/10.

Besides lor mee, I also ordered popiah. It costs SGD1.00 a piece.

It’s not as tasty as others that I’ve tasted previously, but nonetheless, it’s pretty good. The chilli paste used is surprisingly hot, which is unusual because most of the chilli paste used for popiah in Singapore is mild. I’ll still order it next time, and I’m giving it a rating of 7/10.
