One of my favourite mee poks in recent memory, this modernised take hits all the right notes for me – springy noodles lathered in a spicy, savoury chilli with loads of tender minced pork, spring onion and lard. I particularly liked the moreish pork meatballs that tasted more of pork than filler as is so often the case. Of course, I must mention the utterly addictive crispy fish strips that add an extra dimension of crunch and umami. Even the clear broth is delicious - mildly porky, sweet and with no trace of MSG.

Finally, don't forget to take a saucer of their tangy chicken rice-style chilli sauce, it really adds a load of punchy flavour to everything it graces.
