If we had to pick a favourite, it would have to be Kedai Kopi Dan Makanan Hong Lai’s Hokkien mee. At its mothership along Jalan Genting Kelang, roaring fires translate to flame-licked woks which imbue the fried noodles with incredible wok hei (that inimitable smoky flavour of the wok’s breath).
Hong Lai’s Hokkien mee (S$9.80) features thick egg noodles strewn with fresh seafood, all drenched in a glistening coat of dark soy sauce. The moonlight kway teow (S$9.80) is equally divine, served with the requisite raw egg on top, which you mix into the noodles so that it clings to each delicious strand.
Another highlight is the dry beef noodles (S$9.80) from Soong Kee Beef Noodles. A texture-rich tumble of sliced tripe, beef balls and slivers of tender beef served over springy egg noodles doused in a tasty dark soya sauce.
