Grew up eating the soup vermicelli version and haven’t had this in probably almost a decade? But my tastebuds have morphed and I love my fishball noodles with Mee pok, dry, spicy, and super vinegary. And Xin Lu gives me just that. The sauciness of the noodles is impeccable, but what was equally impressive was the fresh and bouncy fishballs.
Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Excellent fishball noodles. The Mee Kia was cooked al dente and both the chilli sauce and the dipping chilli packed a lot of heat. Do add a spoonful or two of the soup before giving the noodles a good stir to coat every strand. Fishballs were not handmade but very bouncy nonetheless.
One of the better fishball noodles I’ve had this year!
Serving for over 50 years, this humble stall is known for their old-school, full flavoured rendition.
.
Among the most intense in taste, their soup is generously garnished with preserved mustard greens, lending a robust vegetal salty savoury flavour.
.
Their fish balls are bouncy with light tension, nicely sweet savoury in flavour.
.
The mee pok / wide flat egg noodles are well tossed with a slight springy chew, and pick up the savoury salty sweet spicy flavours of the gravy well.

At Mei Ling Market & Food Centre for breakfast and saw that they have 2 popular fishball noodles stalls. Went with Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodle this time round - it’s the one with the white sign board next to the escalator.
Queue moved pretty quickly, and aunty was very friendly! Can definitely understand why they are so popular, portions of both the noodles and the fishballs makes it very value. Flavour wise though, thought it was just average - we found the mee pok slightly doughy, and I’m personally not a fan of the saucy ketchup-based chilli mix.
It's circuit breaker so I escaped the usual queue. I first ate this years ago and found the fishballs okay but not great. This time same too. The stallholders are kind and my noodles were generous.
They used to be situated at Margaret Drive Hawker Centre, and were the fishball noodles I ate during my childhood. The handmade fishballs are just as good as I remember them to be: bouncy and slightly salty. My meepok was really average though, so I think I’ll go for either mee tai mak (like what my dad ordered) or kway teow next time I visit.
Fishball Noodle (S$3)
Didn’t plan to order this but it’s one of those stalls with queue.
The mee poh was a bit lumpy but nothing a bit of soup can’t help. The chilli sauce was addictive, tasting spicy and sweet, kind of like sambal.

Situated in the Bendemeer FC is a branch of the famous 新路 Fishball Noodle at Mei Ling Street FC. The style of cooking and taste is the same. For $3 you get a bowl of noodles with 5 soup spoon size fishballs. The homemade chilli sauce is truly different from other noodles stalls. This is a real heritage food as they kept the cooking style exactly the same. Belly yummy yummy yum yum yum. Posted by Ah Leong San 2016 June 1.
The stall maybe old but the young man makes good crunchy noodles plus the fishballs (handmade) is bouncy great! Must try.
It has been the longest time since I last had fishball noodle. So this weekend, we travelled to Mei Ling market & food centre for some Teochew fishball at Xin Lu [formerly from Margaret Drive hawker centre] at the request of my mum. Though I’m not much of a fan of their slight-al dente dry mee pok, i really enjoyed their huge, light, and bouncy handmade fishballs with subtle saltiness.

Lunch date with my colleague at the Mei Ling Hawker Centre, as he is craving for his childhood favorite - Xin Lu Fishball Noodles.
One noticeable characteristic of this stall is the fish balls are made fresh every day in the stall and they were huge and bouncy.
A bowl of the 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 (𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗽/ 𝗗𝗿𝘆) comes with a generous portion with 5 fishballs [S$3.50]. I would highly recommend the 𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 as the chili, sauces and vinegar is in the right concoction, hence, it is savory and I can taste a good mix between the sweet and spicy flavor from this bowl of noodles!
