I don't know why but for the life of me, I couldn't taste the meat in these meatballs. Was I mistaken to think that "meatballs" should have some meat (meaning: pork) incorporated in an obvious way? For eg. something similar to the stuffing one gets in "Ampang Yong Tau Fu" or perhaps the balls would have a minced pork core? Looking on the bright side, at least the meatballs were large, firm and full of texture from the chopped vegetables mixed into the fish paste. What I liked was the "meepok" which was cooked al dente. There was sufficient seasoning and sauce to coat every strand thoroughly too. A word of caution: Those of you with big appetites might find the noodle serving size less than filling.
