Jia Xiang (Redhill Lane Block 85 Food Centre)

Family-owned since the early 1970s, this beloved stall was originally run by the mother of Mdm Chen Mei Ying, though she now runs the stall with her son.
.
Prepared fresh daily over 3 hours, tweaked with lower sugar and salt, the thin yet punchy gravy is still big on taste, being sour zesty tangy sweet spice in flavour.
.
The springy rice vermicelli noodles, crisp bean sprouts, crisp garlic chives, tender tofu bean curd, spongy tofu puffs, and bouncy hard boiled chicken egg, carry grainy sweet vegetal herbal savoury eggy flavour.
.
Additional chewy dried shrimp, crunchy anchovies, crunchy bread croutons, chunky sambal belachan, and lime juice, lend shrimpy salty savoury bready tangy sour zesty spice flavour, good depth of taste. Option to add egg omelette strips.

This was a common sight at many tables. I could see many elderlies enjoying it. Ok.. it is a sign. 🔸️🔸️
The history of Jia Xiang goes way back 50 years. Mdm Chen, the 63 year old owner, started helping her mom when she was very little. And they have been at the same location for half a century.

The taste is quite old school. Gravy was brewed for at least 3 hours, is thick with a robust spiced undertone. A wonderful tangy and slight sourish finish. Garnished with tau pok, a hard boiled egg and very crispy croutons which tasted like pork lard. The homemade sambal chilli had a haebeehiam and dried chilli base that added the extra punch. The bright fiery orange appearance might scare some away. But it was not overly spicy. It was addictively good.

I did like it. It was an appropriate spicy meal to counter the scorching day. So are you old school or new school? For me, old school is the new school.
