Hometown Hainan Fen (People's Park Complex)

People’s Park Food Centre is well known for its China foods offering at affordable price. Which is also where you get to find some of the unique foods originated from China.

That’s include this authentic Hainanese dish from Hainan Island which you could find from this stall.

Available in dry, soup or their traditional lor version like mine; and choose either the pork or beef to go with.

The noodle used the traditional noodle from Hainan, topped with thick and savoury gravy. Then it will be added with the meat, peanuts, bamboo shoots and pickled vegetables.

I would say it is definitely an interesting dish to give it a try.

This stall is located at People’s Park Food Center selling authentic Hainanese Fen or Noodles. So far I have only found this stall selling the Hainanese version of Lor Mee. It is run by two Hainanese sisters who migrated to Singapore. Listening to other customers placing orders in Hainanese, it’s as real as it gets!

Having tasted the original Hainanese Noodles in Haikou, I was expecting the usual sour pungent taste of fermented bamboo shoots. This Singapore version has none of that. Yes there are fermented bamboo shoots but minus smell and sourness. The latter is instead imparted by pickled vegetables. Together with peanuts and thin strips of beef, it is a pleasant bowl of comfort food on a cold day or night. You have to add some of their chilli. It elevates the taste of the noodles. The noodles are actually thick bee hoon. The closest thing I can think of is a cross between lor mee and dry beef noodles. But it’s really good.

I am definitely coming back.

Hainan Pickle Fun.
