Queue may appear long but it did move relatively fast. & Instead of the flat yellow noodles, clear & non-starchy white noodles were served in a pretty sensational homely & thick dark gravy, similar to that of your typical lor mee but not really.
Coupled with Chinese style golden fried chicken fresh from the wok, the lovely auntie singlehandedly selected parts from the new batch (instead of randomly serving) to ensure that every customer get a fair generous portion - I don't really know how to explain this, you need to see it for yourself.
& It was definitely one of the better $3.50 I've spent in this food centre. Sometimes dishes like this look nothing but ordinary, but what we don't know is how much they can actually taste rustic and actually are richly steeped in traditions from our own culture 🙆🏻

P.S. Also tried another of their Xing Hua Lor Mee ($4) the other time too - liked that it was full of clams, seafood & pork belly (didn't take a decent photo) but figured I much prefer this one above.
