Sim Lim Square is basically a place where you want to go if you want to look for cheap electronic products. But food?
If I ever list down the top 10 food that I love, minced pork noodles might make it to the top 10 (Haha, post inspiration here…). One of my favourite stalls for minced pork noodles is this stall at Sim Lim Square. I’ll usually pop by to have a bowl of noodles if I happened to be in that area. I used to love the minced pork noodles at Hong Lim Complex, but sadly, its quality has degenerated over the years.
A weird twisted reason why I love minced pork noodles so much is probably because it’s one of the “ta mee” (noodles without soup) in Singapore which contains the minimal number of fishballs. I do, for some weird twisted reason again, dislike fishballs, though I’ll usually “tolerate” them in the sense that I’ll still eat my fishballs provided they come in small numbers. I do love fish, and I do not have any phobia or dislike towards food that are round. I do love my sotong balls, meat balls etc. Thus it’s really hard to come out with a reason why I dislike fishballs. I guess it’s more of a psychological reason?
A bowl of minced pork noodles costs $3/$4, and an additional of $1 will be charged if you decided to have a bowl of dumpling (水饺) soup to go along with it. Personally, I don’t feel that there’s anything to rave about for the dumpling soup from that stall, so probably a dollar can be saved by not ordering the soup.
What I like most about this minced pork noodles is that the noodles is springy. I am pretty particular about noodles or “mee pok” as shown in the photo. With the proliferation of factory-made noodles in so many hawker stalls all over Singapore, most noodles have lost that “springy” feel in them, and they just don’t taste right or as good in comparison with the hand-made noodles. For some reason, there’s always a sweet, lovely taste lingering in my mouth every time I savour this bowl of noodles, and that’s the reason why I love this stall so much. =p
So, besides cheap electronic products, there are indeed still good food at Sim Lim Square.
Er… I thought there’s no fish balls in minced pork noodles?? I used to like the minced pork noodles in sim lim square. thats like 10 yrs ago. Think they had changed pp cooking and it’s being mediocre since…
Sim lim square used to have a chi cha store called ping xiang. Their beef fried rice is superb. too bad they moved.
Haha, there’s a fishball in the soup. =P
