Song Kee Fishball Noodles

I know a few reviews didn’t rate these fish balls. But they were bouncy and tasty. Not as big as some others but it did the job!

"Fishball quality is good, but dish meat portion is not big. Fishball Noodles $4,5,7 Rude uncle dun like to answer questions/ confirm payee on PayNow Charges 30 cents for extra empty bowl !!"

I'm an avid mee pok noodle dry eater, maybe I would even call myself a connoisseur for this dish, because I've searched and looked for it all over Singapore. And this is truly the good one, that you must sample! Let's get something straight, adding abalone, scallop, or crabmeat or sirloin beef or mermaid meat does NOT make it a better meepok. More meat, more stuff, does not make it better. I consider this "gimmicks." I grew up in old towns like Queenstown and then Tiong Bahru. In the 1970s a bowl of meepok that we are used to is: springy noodles, succulent fishballs and fishcakes, with few pieces of fried pork lard and spring onions and tang chye, that's it. Some stalls add chinese lettuce to it--and that's really it. And this is what you get at Song Kee Teochew Fishball Noodle,  Newton Food Centre, 500 Clemenceau Ave North #01-06, 229495. There is no mince pork, no liver, no ribs--strictly just fish derivatives. The soup is not too savoury, a little more to the neutral side, which is very pleasant (NO MSG--"I think"). The chilli paste packs a wallop! So if you have a sensitive stomach like me, ask the hawker to reduce it. The fishball and fishcake is excellent. Succulent and bouncy. And it has a natural fish smell and taste. Some commercially made ones are "no smell" or they sometimes mix it with chicken or flour to make it harder. But this stall, it is really natural and excellent. I can think of other places that brags of their "Best Fish Balls" in town, and they may be better. But here we are talking about MeePok Dry, and the fishball and fishcake is way above most of the neighbourhood foodcourt stalls. I love the noodles the most. He plunge it into cold water during his cooking, so that it comes out springy. And with the right chilli paste, it's just awesome. If you are like me, that loves the right noodle texture and mix of chilli paste, this IS it! Feel free to asks me questions, I'll try to help.

Love the huge and bouncy fishball. The noodles are also very flavorful and springy and smooth. The 2 uncles are also very friendly.

Fish ball is very good. Mee pok half cooked. Compared to previous. Standard dropped quite a bit.
