Fish & More (Vista Point)

Think this is the reason why I should perhaps explore my own neighbourhood more often; wouldn’t have known that the fish soup stall near home at Viva Food Court at Vista Point that also serves up pretty legit Dry Ban Mee if not for the Circuit Breaker and Phase One re-opening where hawkers/food court stall owners are finding their way into social media and delivery apps to stay in operations with strict restrictions on dine-in in place.

Not one who is often seen eating Ban Mee; always too afraid of how filling it can get and that the noodles sometimes end up clumpy and all — this is one version that I had no problem finishing at all. Tossing the noodles with the sauce, the noodles are all slurpy and carried a good bite, coated with the savoury sauce that comes even better with chili opted for a slightly spicy kick that should work well for most with moderate (or even below moderate) tolerance for spiciness — what really caught me was the addition of caramalised onions which also helped to add a sweetness to the sauce, providing the bowl of noodles an additional dimension of flavour. Coming with other condiments such as crunchy greens, lumps of minced meat that is soft-to-the-bite and bouncy, as well crispy Ikan Bilis, I absolutely dig how this simple bowl of noodles felt pretty wholesome and well thought out especially with its emphasis on both texture and flavour. Definitely going for this again some day; quite glad that I have found yet another option that I would enjoy having pretty regularly especially given their proximity to me!
