Came by for lunch ordered the $4 portion of fishball noodle with mee pok (Kway Teow was sold out) extra chilli. The noodles does not have much bite to it, not sure if it's over cooked. Fish balls and fish cakes are pleasant. Though extra chilli was ordered, my bowl of noodles is still very light to my taste buds.

Fishballs were handmade and had great quality. Noodles and soup also hits the spot. Overall, good.

Very nice noodles. I ordered the nee lok dry. While the chilli is good, I think the vinegar is a little too much. Fishballs are big and bouncy, same goes for the neat balls. I like the fish cake the most. It is tasty with a mixture of nice textures.

1 of my favourite Meepok store. Price is reasonable but long queue during peak hour or weekend. Their meatball & fishcake is fantastic. I regularly have my b.fast fixed there. Try once & you will return again. Thumbs up.
