Only mee sua is available as base, with pre-selected ingredients and the option of having bittergourd or not. Having heard positive reviews about this stall, I decided to brave the long 30 min queue on a weekday afternoon and give this a try. No regrets indeed, with the freshly made ingredients and comforting bowl of soup making up a hearty, satisfying and healthy (somewhat) meal; except that the portion is pretty small for the $4.50 serving I had. The ingredients comprised of tau kua (deep fried tofu), tau kee (fish cakes wrapped in beancurd skin x3) minced pork ball, prawn ball, bittergourd stuffed with minced meat (optional). A serving of half sweet and half chilli sauce is also provided by default, which I requested for solely chilli due to personal preference. Do note that extra charges are applicable for extra sauces (but not for noodles- WHAT?!!) After the piping hot soup is poured in, spring onions and a dash of white pepper is added in, enhancing the flavour and aroma of the soup. Can’t make up my mind which was my favourite ingredient here as all were great! Except for the bittergourd which might be an acquired one due to the characteristic lingering bitterness that might not be suited for those who 不能吃苦 (pun unintended). Fortunately it was still alright for me, given that there was minced pork filling encased within that provided a slight alleviation to the bitterness (swipe to the end to view it). The chilli sauce got me taken aback for a moment by surprise (and satisfaction thereafter) with its lingering spiciness that packs a punch - a great companion to the YTF ingredients, but not for the faint hearted! 🌶🔥🔥 . Worth the queue? Definitely a yes for me (provided it’s not more than 30min)! 😂
