[CLOSED] Meeco Mee Hoon Kueh

For those working in the CBD, check out this place along level 1 of The Arcade. One of my favourite affordable places to visit in Raffles Place, it boasts 3 types of meehoonkueh for different tastebuds. My favourite is the curry version, the first time I ate it I felt so touched!! It’s like a fusion between mhk and laksa, very flavourful and heartwarming. I also like the dry one, you can add a soft boiled egg for 50 cents!

Tried the dry you mian here after seeing @veronicaphua’s review and it was really good! The noodles were nice and springy and went well with the sauce and clearly generous portion of ingredients. I must say that my favourite part was the fishball!! It was amazingly soft- probably the softest and best fishball I’ve had in my life. The meatballs were also great but the fishballs were definitely superior. Also, get the egg for 50 cents extra! It makes all the difference.

While rambling around the old Arcade building in Raffles Place in search of an early lunch, I stumbled upon this four months-old eatery that specialises in “mee hoon kueh”. Their signature is the soup version but their handmade noodles (there are the usual three types to choose from) are available with laksa gravy or prepared in a dry style as well. I ordered the latter with a soft-boiled egg added on for an extra 50 cents (total price: $$6), and was delighted at how good it turned out to be.
The al dente pieces of “mee hoon kueh” were wonderfully soft and smooth with zero trace of flouriness. They also had a nice chewiness that made me think of a rather firm mochi that’s been sliced flat. With the egg broken and stirred around, the noodles became even tastier coated in its lusciousness.
The toppings were blanched “mani cai” (马尼菜 - the dark green bitterish vegetable that I love), some minced pork, sliced mushrooms, fishballs and meatballs. For the price and given the location of this eatery, the amount was good.
In terms of condiments, you can help yourself to sliced chilli padi in soya sauce, a savoury sambal and a thin, sourish chilli dip.
There is very, very limited seating here and it is pretty warm, so unless you go for a very early or late lunch, takeaway is probably a better option.
