Ordered $4 portion of mee kia soup. Learnt that they were fresh out of fish cakes so I’ll have to make do with two extra fishballs.
The clear soup was traditional Teochew fishball noodles soup. Noodles we cooked right but had a slight alkaline taste, probably from the water used to boil noodles. I like their fishballs which were bouncy and nice salty flavour. The fish dumpling was tasteless and it’s presence did nothing for the noodles.
Maybe the dry version will be better but this bowl of noodles was not impressive. No lard, no veg, no pork and no fish cakes.
The noodles were dry and doesn't have much body. Homemade Fishballs have a decent amount of umami though, and sufficient bite
The impressive thing here is surprisingly the soup, usually the most overlooked element anywhere else. They use the water from fishball making to cook the soup so it's incredibly umami yet light
