JB Finds

95% of the time when I'm in JB, this will be my lunch. The aroma of the Chinese herbs and spices escapes once you tear the paper wrap open that is sure to make your mouths water. The chicken is firm yet moist from soaking up all the herbal goodness. Also they only use kampong chicken.

Honestly, the dishes in Teck Sing are generally delicious. I don't think I've ever dislike anything there. The eggplants's great. The omelette with turnips is great. The hotplate tofu's great... You get the point. And the best thing? Really affordable!

The famed Kuala Lumpar Hokkien Mee Restaurant has a history of over 100 years old and has opened a branch in SOGO which made it a lot more convenient for us Singaporeans! I ordered the Claypot Lou Shu Fen that came with an uncooked egg in the middle. The noodles were stir fried and doused with generous amount of dark soya sauce, giving it that sweet and salty flavour.

Overall the noodles got a tad repetitive half way through (if you get what I mean) and I would recommend sharing it. We had a teapot of Kukpo tea to wash down the surfeitness. Just a heads up - the KL Hokkien mee is not the same as what we have here but with the same flavour profile as the 老鼠粉 just with the thick egg noodles. Though I love the cabbage slices which gave more texture to the dish and cut through the sauce.

I'm not saying it sucks but it didn't live up to expectations. Would love to have more wokhey/robustness to it and maybe even more elements to the dish, like squid? Still worth a try though!
