I opt for the regular bowl ($6/$8/$10) of mee kia which was served in a large, white bowl. It comes with a small bowl of soup on the side.
.
I believe the noodle portion is the same for all three pricings but the pricier bowls come with more ingredients and a bigger bowl of soup with seaweed (the regular bowl does not have seaweed).
.
The upsized options are also served in "prettier" bowls with oriental decorative border. 😝
.
My $6 order includes meat balls, minced pork, pig's liver, sole fish and wanton sitting atop a mound of mee kia. They are quite heavy-handed with the sauces here such as black vinegar.
.
The noodle is cooked softer than al dente but still springy. I love the punch of the black vinegar which is fragrantly sour and the chili was power.
.
You know the soup is good when there are lots of those pork sediments swirling about in the bowl. My $6 bowl of pork noodle only come with a small bowl of soup but if you order the larger portions, there will be more of that delicious soup (and seaweed) for you.
.
In all honesty, I find this a great bowl of noodle but the small serving for its price is a big deterrent for me to enjoy regularly. As much as I would like to support our local hawkers, this bowl of pork noodle is a luxury to have in this trying period.
