Read somewhere this is a father and son outfit where the father delivers a wetter version and the son fries a dryer version with wok heat. Curiosity piqued, I went to try for myself.

Upon arrival at 12 noon, there was an aunty and a gentleman in front of me in the queue. Son was helming the wok today (damn I prefer wetter version) Ordered $5 portion. And that’s when I found out not only you do not get to choose the dryer or wetter version, you also cannot choose to add cockles or fish cake or sausage. No customisation. Only chilli or without.

Got my plate within 7 minutes. Sure enough, it was the dry version and plenty of wok heat. In fact a couple of charred bits of noodles could also be found. The portion was decent enough for $5 but the number of cockles give was pathetic. They really should remover the word cockles from their signboard. Noodles were not too sweet, which I liked .

Pro tip: grab one of the spoons before you start eating. Towards the middle, the spoon is handier than chopsticks cause the noodles were all pretty chopped up from the frying. Spooning mouthfuls was more satisfying than trying to grasp at bits with a pair of chopsticks.
