Lim Hokkien Fried Mee

Only from the late afternoon till night, you would see people constantly dropping by the stall to grab their dinner.

Located at the corner coffee shop along Changi Road, you could grab the outdoor seats beside the road and enjoy a plate of Hokkien Fried Mee.

Served as a much wet version topped with pork belly, siting, prawn, ikan bilis and pork lard. Remember to mix the like and chilli sauce together.

Great combination of ingredients and I definitely enjoyed much for the umami taste.

I had been wanting to try this since I heard he's the brother of Hokkien mee godfather Kim's. We don't think ours was cooked by him and it was poor. It's wet, but not in the shiok way. The broth was quite briny. The pluses were the chilli sauce and ikan bilis, but these strictly are independent of the noodles.

Apparently Lim doesn’t sell their Hokkien mee in the day. :( So I settled for their CKT instead. It was nubbad, with a light wok hei and a good spicy kick. Didn’t enjoy the tiny little prawns used though as it dried up.

Plugging away at this nondescript coffee shop along Changi Road is the brother of the owner of the more famous Kim’s Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee. Having learned the craft from his sibling, he eventually set up his own stall which has seen multiple changes in location before settling in Hock Choo Eating House. Fans of a drier style of Hokkien mee will definitely dig this. The noodles are imbued with maximum flavour from having soaked up a richly umami broth made from pork bones, chicken, dried anchovies and sweet corn, which partially makes up for the lack of wok hei. What sets this Hokkien mee apart is the use of crispy fried ikan bilis as a garnish, adding a welcome crunch to the gloriously slurpy mess. Worth a visit if you’re in the hood.

Taste: 3.5/5

They use a combination of yellow, thick white noodles and beehoon. We like how it’s not too wet which a lot of stalls do, making it seem as if we’re slurping soup based noodles. The stock has strong garlic and prawn fragrance, with slight wok hei. Crispy fried pork lard and ikan bilis are also provided, which we gladly mix in to enhance the flavors.
