Located in the cafeteria on the 2nd floor of Bishan Bus Interchange, Jiak Mee was opened by a ground of young hawker-preneurs who are still in school, and using the recipes from a hawker chain run by one of their parents.

I actually enjoyed their mee hoon kueh. The handmade dough was hand torn upon order. It is thick, chewy and had a good bite texture-wise - like a good al dente pasta. It was also not too starchy or mushy.

The ikan bilis soup was however rather bland or some may say, "healthy tasting". I actually quite enjoyed the clean and subtly sweet broth though the oldies found it too bland. Do note however that the dry version uses soup stock instead of the soup in which the noodles and minced pork were cooked with, was even more bland and flat.

Portions-wise, I thought that it was alright for a 1 pax portion of you ain't too hungry and slightly bigger than the other and bigger Jiak ban mian chain. They did however cut back on the ingredients. There was barely any minced meat or ikan bilis in the dish.
