In place of Souper Tang in Mid Valley is now Awa Mee Bar by the same group. I found myself a fan of the new concept — al dente noodles, deeply flavoured soup and a variety of toppings!

The seafood broth is a touch lighter than the umami pork soup, but tasty nonetheless, and comes with tons of prawns, clams and mini meat dumplings. That alone feels like a meal, but brace your tummy for noodles.

The spicy version is laced in a mild, ma la-like chilli oil, minced pork and deep fried things (enoki and beancurd skin). Worth a try!
