I can't exactly put my finger on what's so special about this bowl of noodles. The ingredients are alright - good variety, but nothing spectacular. Crowded during regular breakfast & lunch hours, be prepared to wait for a table if you're in a big group. If not, just slot yourself somewhere or share a table ☺

I love the dry & soup versions equally. The chilli is shiok, but I wish the vinegar taste were stronger. The soup itself isn't great, but is a slightly less oily alternative to the dry version.

I think it's the noodles that got me hooked. Extremely al dente in the best way possible. I find myself coming back a couple of times - although a disclamer: I wouldn't travel long distances for it (I can walk here). The teh/kopi is pretty good here too. Service, however, can be a little grumpy.

Something interesting: Behind the curtains in a corner is a dimly lit Japanese eatery called Bincho. The ambience is great, decor is pretty cool too. Food is 6-10 times a bowl of Mee Pok, but whatever floats your boat, man.

You can order food from Bincho to eat where the Mee Pok tables are.. Although I don't know why you'd do that because it's is hot & sweaty outside. I did that, though, because we had a mix of Mee Pok-ers & Bincho-ers in our group.
