Helmed by Yap Lye Hock since 2009, the stall itself has shifted locations at least 4 times over the years, sometimes remaining closed for up to 1 year, before restarting in a different location.
.
Since he announced his original retirement in 2016, his 2 disciples stepped up and now each helm their own stalls, though "Uncle Yap" eventually made his own sporadic return (these days he alternates between working and retirement).
.
Of note is their soup, made by stewing a combination of pork bones, chicken bones, anchovies, and soy beans, resulting in a lovely warm sweet savoury flavour.
.
The pork slices and minced pork are tender with meaty sweet savoury flavour, the fish cake slices are bouncy with mild savoury salty flavour, while the soy braised shiitake mushrooms are springy with vegetal salty earthy savoury flavour.
.
The mee pok / wide flat egg noodles are springy with a light chew, picking up the balanced gravy well, which carries savoury salty spicy sour flavours from the rich black vinegar and chili.
