Saw some reviews on Facebook saying it was good, so I went to try it. Indeed, it is delicious, but the ingredients are a bit little for the price.

Heritage lor mee at Old Airport Road, serving thick braised noodle gravy with braised toppings.
Tiong Bahru Lor Mee at Old Airport Road Food Centre brings one of Singapore's heritage hawker dishes to one of its most celebrated food centres, serving bowls of lor mee drenched in a thick, viscous braised gravy that is deeply savoury and rich. The stall is known for its lor gravy simmered for hours with five-spice, garlic, and braised pork stock, ladled generously over yellow noodles and topped with ingredients like braised pork, fishcake, ngoh hiang, and half a braised egg. Each bowl captures the essence of this Teochew-originated dish, where the star is the gravy itself, thick and aromatic enough to coat every noodle strand with its complex depth. The Old Airport Road location carries the Tiong Bahru name and tradition, delivering the same style of lor mee that has earned recognition in Singapore's competitive hawker landscape. Add vinegar, garlic, and chilli to taste, and you have a bowl that warms the belly and satisfies the soul. For anyone who appreciates the comforting, starchy embrace of a proper bowl of lor mee, this stall is a must-visit. Stir in the vinegar, dig deep, and taste the heritage.Based on 105 Google reviews

A class on its own when it comes to Lor Mee. Every fish part imaginable as a topping (think deep-fried fish liver and milt) to beautifully braised pork and skin. Recipe improved from the original Seng Poh Road Market Lor Mee, who is the owner’s relative.
