Ban Mian / Handmade Noodles

Visited the hawker centre at late night after attending some event, and I was so happy to see that the stall was open. The base sauce was dark and flavourful. I think a lot of mushrooms went into it. Noodles had really good chewy bite. And of course I asked them for extra fuzhou fishballs. Tasty! Definitely a must try in this food centre.
Note: location tag is showing Roxy Square, however this stall has moved permanently to Old Airport Road Food Centre (51 Old Airport Road).

The ee mian was great tasting but I think I chose the wrong toppings. The dumplings were small and they had too strong ginger taste which I didn't fancy. Chilli was fresh and good. Anchovies and fried onions on top were good too. I really think I should try their other offerings, this place definitely has potential but I somehow ordered the wrong thing.

This place has truly made a name for themselves with their fresh handmade noodles. The name L32 came from the location in Lorong 32 Geylang. Now I actually used to live in Lorong 33 Geylang but I never patronized this stall often because it always had a steady long queue. I had tried to takeaway it once but I wasn't impressed. When I had it for dine-in, though, I realized why it wasn't as nice for takeaway. The dry version has dark, slick sauce that's pooled at the bottom of the noodles. Even with the short walk back home to Lorong 33, this sauce if not mixed properly would fall flat. After mixing, the noodles transformed into dark yummy strands. Meatballs were fresh, and the anchovies plus fried shallots/onions gave really nice crunch. The usual egg topping was served inside the soup as well which, well, whether intentionally or inadvertently became egg drop soup.
All in all I get the hype now. Will be back to try other offerings of fish, seafood, etc. ➡️ L32 Handmade Noodles
➡️ 558 Lorong 32 Geylang (corner of Geylang Road and Lorong 32 Geylang)
➡️ Nearest transport: Aljunied / Paya Lebar 🚇

I got the dry u-mian and I could see them churning the noodles upon order. The noodles were really chewy and with a good bite. The base sauce was dark and slick. It had a lot of umami especially with the mushrooms. The accompanying chilli was tangy and a bit gingery and it juxtaposed nicely with the rest of the savoury taste. Such a satisfying bowl. Would be back to try other types of noodles!

Ban mian / you mian is one of those dishes that are hard to capture on camera. Unlike, say, wanton mee with its bright red char siew contrasting with yellow noodles and green vegetables, ban mian is usually deep inside a rather plain looking cloudy broth. Even that being the case, this broth was so yummy and slurpable. Since I usually have noodle bowls with oily base that can easily get too rich and too much, it was comforting to have this hearty soup. The you mian held nicely, and the freshly cracked egg half boiled beautifully and gave an extra silky feel. Also this stall had fuzhou fishballs so I asked for them as extra. All in all a delightful, hearty meal.
