Foodie Fridays {Linky} - Mee Hoon Kuey + others

It was our all girls night out again!  Jes, the walking food directory amongst us suggested that since we are going to shop at Far East Plaza, we should try this little place tucked in a corner that serves delicious mee hoon kuey.

The mee hoon kuey is not the same as you see in most of the handmade noodle stalls, instead of machine cut into squares that are usually too big for the mouth, the flatten dough is manually tear out into bite sized pieces.  Jes mentioned that they uses a type of green vegetables that is only available from China, wonder what kind of vegetable is that.  At first look I thought its the wolfberries or gou ji leaves but after eating it then I realised that its not.

The seafood mee hoon kuey has got 2-3 fresh prawns, fishcakes, ikan bilis, mushrooms and the mysterious vegetable.  The seafood is replaced by balls of minced meat for the pork mee hoon kuey.  The portion is big and the soup is so-so.  Jes commented that the soup that day was a little bit bland, not the usual tasty one she tasted during her previous visits.  Nevertheless, with the cut chili paddi thrown into the soup giving it a hint of spiciness, the soup tastes good..

Jes' another MUST-EAT recommendation dish is the fried tang-hoon or rice vermicelli and "MUST EAT IT WHILE ITS HOT!" she keeps exclaiming.  And she is right!  Eating the pipping hot springy tang hoon with the bean sprouts, kai lan, prawns & fish cakes is heavenly!

Jes casually mentioned that their pork liver mee suah is delicious too, without any hesitation Chris and myself exclaimed "Ok Order!!!"  Hang on!  I am NOT a pork liver fan, I dislike the powdery texture when you bite into them, but I can tolerate it, for just 1-2 pieces.  Plus I can't miss out a chance to taste good food, even if its not my favourite ingredients.

And we are not disappointed.  The pork liver is cooked just right, not overly done that makes it rubbery or under cook which makes it bloody.   I admit I had my reservations when I took a bite out of the liver but I almost smile while chewing it.  The pork liver is chewy n does not have the powdery texture, there were traces of blood but not dripping blood.  This show how fresh the pork liver is!  And you have to finish this FAST as the mee suah will soak up the soap, you will end up with a dry pork liver mee suah if you take too long to savour the dish.

We finished all the food!  3 obviously very hungry ladies.  Well, we got to have a full stomach if we are going to shop till our wallet's empty at Far East Plaza right?

I had wanted to pack the pork liver mee suah back for DinoPapa but by the time we are done doing our shopping at 9pm, they were closed.

  6. Ooohhh... very rare to find that type of rustic mee-hoon kuey... I like it better as I find it easier to eat than slurping up long noodles.
