If you ask me to name some of my favourite local food, Lor Mee will have made it to the list.  Lor Mee is a Hokkien noodle dish with brown sticky gravy topped with ingredients like fish, braised pork and fried flour bits.  Poured lots of vinegar into the gravy (a personal preference of mine), it instantly becomes a delightful meal to me.

Yuan Chun Famous Lor Mee is currently my favourite Lor Mee stall in Singapore, that is, before I give another famous lor mee stall at Bukit Purmei a try so that I can make some comparison.  I love it so much that I’ll purposely make a trip down to the stall at Amoy Street just to satisfy my Lor Mee craving.

Just imagine:  The strong vinegar taste in the gravy instantly piques your appetite.  The thick and sticky-looking gravy becomes the silky and smooth gravy that slides down your throat while you eat the yellow noodles.  The crispy flour bits are so crispy and delicious to munch on and the pork is so nicely braised. 

And that is how Yuan Chun Famous Lor Mee tastes to me - the hearty and delicious meal that I’m so addicted to.

At the price of S$2, it’s so worth the price even though the portion is a bit paltry.  From a single stall at Amoy Street Food Centre, it has expanded to occupy two stalls that are side-by-side to meet the increasing demands for its Lor Mee.  Long queues are a characteristic of this stall, so prepare to wait if you want to try some of these mouth-watering Lor Mee.
