| Mee Pok @ Lai Heng |
As a fan of Bak Chor Mee (Minced
Meat Noodle), LD and I always keep a lookout for a delicious bowl BCM. Our new
BCM adventure led us to Lai Heng Mushroom Minced Meat Mee (‘Lai Heng’).

The first time we visited the shop, we were surprised that the shop is run by all ladies. Only until the 3rd visit, which falls on Monday, I finally saw the uncle cooking the noodle. The noodle price starts from $4/$5/$6 (for small, medium and large).
Mee Pok ($6, non-spicy). On our
second visit, I decided to combine my breakfast and lunch, so I ordered the
large portion. The portion is huge and I have trouble finishing my order. The
noodle is cooked to al-dente and for non-chilli, the balance between ketchup,
vinegar and mushroom sauce is perfect. Surprisingly, you can find beansprouts
hidden between the noodles.

One thing obvious between the $5
and $6 version, is the portion of the toppings which include mushroom, liver,
lean pork meat, minced meat and also the slices of abalone. The liver thinly
sliced, resulting in a crunchy texture instead of the usual soft and creamy.
Each dry version of the noodle come with a bowl of soup, that is robust and
filled with the essence of Oink Oink.

Mee Kia ($5, spicy). LD prefer Mee
Kia compare to Mee Pok. According to her, the noodle is cooked to al-dente, while
the chilli is fragrant with a medium level of spiciness to it. The toppings are
less than mine, but it is more than enough for the amount of noodle served $5
portion.

Mee Kia Soup ($5). I finally got
to try their soup version. For the soup version, the noodle and ingredients are
covered with the robust broth. The noodle is springy and absorbs the broth
nicely. It has the same topping as the dry version, with the addition of “Tong
Cai“ and seaweed. I feel that the soup version is very good, almost like eating
our Singapore version of ramen. Yum Yum.

Since Lai Heng has been operating
for 34 years, they sure have their own fans. Waiting time up to 30 minutes is
normal, but so far, we waited around 10 to 15 minutes on average. Once you
placed your order, you will be given a queue number and you just have to wait at
your table until your number is called.
