I'm not a fan of lor mee, but Tiong Bahru Lor Mee has done a fantastic job of convincing me not to pass over this bowl of noodles every time I go to a hawker centre.

The gravy is slightly runnier than most stalls, but the pleasant herbal flavors complemented the heavy, salty flavors of the lor wonderfully. I added extra fatty pork and ngoh hiong , which made this bowl $4, and boy was it worth it. The braised fatty pork earned fellow Tastemaker Justin's praises, and I was quite addicted to the soft, slightly herbal and charmingly chubby slices of fatty braised pork. It's all pretty palatable and easy to enjoy, and that's coming from a guy who's completely indifferent to lor mee.
