Their mhk was decent, has some bite to it but it’s not the thicc and chewy types. Go for the youmian instead, it’s the nicest to me! As usual, the highlight is their soup which is sooo good. It has a wonderful natural sweetness from the seafood and pork. Soup > dry for me! Love that they use mani cai too. It comes with 2 large juicy prawns.

Mhk is the doughy type, it comes in large pieces that are hand torn - smooth and thinner at the ends, thicker and more doughy in the middle. The doughy type is not my fav, but I still like that it had a handmade quality to it. Ikan bilis is crunchy even when soaked, and has a smoky taste! Soup is p tasty, it had the freshness of the pork and the added flavour from the egg. Pork is v lean, not v tender but not tough either, just that it has a bit of 腥味. Prawns were v fresh and large! Not overcooked.

Overall I liked it, the soup is the highlight for me! Didn’t mind that I had to queue for about 30 mins, but if I had known I would only choose to eat it if the waiting time was <15 mins.

The mhk itself is a little average, it’s the flat kind and it’s not as chewy as the good mhks I’ve had before. It still has a bite to it, and only became a bit more doughy towards the end of the meal. But the soup and ingredients are nice! Soup is flavourful but didn’t feel msg-ish, and they use mani cai as the veg! Minced meat is marinated and tender, ikan bilis was yummy. Added an egg bc I love egg drop soup! Prawns were overcooked 😢

Tho overall I felt it was not spectacular as nothing particularly stood out, but I would come again! Comforting and nothing wrong other than the prawn.

This was the dark sauce version which my bf had - slightly heavier flavours, it's not too salty tho. They give just enough sauce such that each piece is coated and not drenched! I'll stick to the non-dark sauce version bc that one is just nice! I feel like I appreciate lighter flavours compared to the average Singaporean, so maybe others will find the dark sauce one more satisfying.

It's guuud! The mhk is different from my fav stall (ah yi at marsiling mall) - this one is rolled into sheets before being hand-pulled into mhk pieces. V different textures; this one is still chewy but in a flattened sheet kind of way, ah yi's is more thicc bc they don’t roll it flat.

Mine was the non-dark sauce dry version, which meant the only sauce was the minced meat sauce, but it was still appropriately saucey. Super flavourful, lots of shallots and ikan bilis and lard pieces - will ask for less lard & shallots next time bc I don't prefer so much. Onsen egg is perfectly done with a runny yolk!!

Also a shoutout to the SOUP with mani cai which had a v nice pleasant light mani cai flavour. We stan mhk stalls that use the authentic veg of choice - mani cai!!

Was a good bowl of mhk soup, perfect for the rainy day! The mhk pieces were THICC and plump and chewy - their mhk is more firm compared to ah yi (my fav mhk, at marsiling mall), but it’s still pretty nice. The soup is light but flavourful, and the ingredients are not bad too - mushrooms were huge and juicy, quite a bit of spinach, crunchy black fungus, minced meat, and ikan bilis. Was a satisfying lunch!

The mhk pieces were hand torn, quite qq and chewy, pretty yummy! They also give sliced mushrooms and for veg they use dabaicai, which is quite unusual. I’ve never seen it in other mhk stalls before - most use mani cai (to be authentic), spinach, or xiaobaicai. The soup was light but had a very nice natural sweetness that was probably bc of the dabaicai, and maybe corn in the stock? Wouldn’t mind coming back for this if I’m in the area, but I’m not an eastie and I don’t think I’ll travel for it, their outlets are in Bedok & Tampines. Would definitely frequent it if they ever opened an outlet in the west tho :)

The pieces are hand torn and while they were done al dente, it wasn’t as qq as ahyi/handmade mhk from marsiling mall/lane hawker respectively. Soup is tasty, floaty egg whites + a runny yolk is always welcome. Minced meat and xiao bao cai was okay. It’s an average mhk, not bad but there are a lot of better mhk stalls out there :x

The mhk pieces were thicc and chewy, it’s a different texture compared to my favourite qq mhk from ahyi at marsiling mall. It’s nice but not my fav. The soup was tasty, it’s not as robust as others’ but it’s okay for me as I am fine with lighter soup. The meatball was average, minced meat clumps could have done with better marination. The give spinach as veg! I usually prefer mhk in soup but for this place I enjoyed the dry one better! The extra $0.50 is for the egg which isn’t in the soup one I guess. The chili isn’t spicy, it adds a different flavour to the sauce. Thought their mhk pieces worked better in the sauce compared to the soup.

Another amazing bowl of mhk! The hand torn mhk pieces were chewy with varying thickness - some parts were stretched more thinly due to the pulling and tearing process. Very very good texture, comparable to ah yi’s mhk at marsiling mall. The soup was comforting and the egg whites floating around is a good touch. Minced meat was decent. They use mani cai!! There are peppery lean chicken strips in the soup which is strange, they’re fine but I’m okay without it.

Tried their banmian before as they were sold out of mhk in the evening and it was not bad too, but definitely get the mhk if you do visit! My favourite is still ah yi but this stall’s mhk pieces are a very close second.

Their mhk is thinner and slurpier, not the thicker kinds, but wasn’t soggy. Here they serve superrrr big pieces, kinda hard to eat actually because it can’t fit on the spoon 😂 This had mani cai + xiaobaicai, and 2 pieces of beancurd skin. Ikan bilis here is a touch more crisp and salty than most. Shallot was also more crisp, but this I liked. They give rousui, but I didn’t really like it. It also came with 2 meatballs, the kind u see in bcm/pho. A raw egg is cracked into soup, but the whites couldn't get cooked enough bc the bowl had a large surface area and the amoy fans cooled down the soup too quickly. Very generous portion, was super full! Soup is the less rich / more clear type, similar to grandma banmian at level 1. Overall, this was decent but there’s better mhk in amoy!

The mhk was chewy and not doughy, liked it! It’s hand torn, which I like bc it gives textural variation to the mhk. Broth was tasty, there was a wokhei taste?? The basic version is $3.50, signature version comes with meatball, pork slices, and prawn ball which means it’s $0.50 per add-on. Pork slices were tender, meatball was alright but nothing to shout about, prawn ball was crunchy. The veg here was spinach I think. Would come back for the basic version as that’s enough to satisfy me!
