Ordered the original ($5) Mee Kia version. If you like the "abalone", the $7 version comes with it. Personally, I think the spirit of this bowl of noodles is in the thick abalone sauce/paste. It's nice to be able to enjoy a bowl of ah Lam in the comfortable air con branch at marina sq but I think the noodles and soup at the main branch tasted better! Xoxo, wet tissue no have
