Fusion hawker stall serving Japanese-style bak chor mee with onsen egg

I don’t learn about you, however personally, I really like fusion meals. There’s one thing so thrilling about seeing completely different cuisines being mixed right into a single dish, creatively weaving components of separate meals cultures into one. Hence, Mr Meepok was a stall that discovered itself on my radar.

Mr Meepok has two stalls in Singapore: one in Clementi, and one in Amoy Street Food Centre. Their menu provides 5 dishes, together with a Japanese-style bak chor mee dish!

I paid a go to to their stall in Amoy Street Food Centre, which was manned by two younger hawkers. Priced from S$3.50 to S$6, Mr Meepok’s dishes have been comparatively inexpensive.

What I attempted at Mr Meepok

I began off with Mr Meepok’s Signature Minced Meat Noodle (S$5), a bak chor mee dish infused with Japanese components. The bowl contained typical bak chor mee substances like minced meat and mushrooms, however what made it stand out much more was the addition of an onsen egg and slices of abalone.

The noodles themselves have been bouncy and chewy with a really delicate trace of spice. Generally, it tasted like most different bak chor mee dishes. The addition of the onsen egg, nonetheless, elevated the dish because it added a little bit of creaminess to the meepok noodles.

The pork slices have been just a little chewy and a tad bland on their very own, so I’d advocate mixing the noodles nicely to include the sauce into all the opposite components of the dish.

The fish stick didn’t significantly wow me, although it did add some selection to the dish.

As far as bak chor mee dishes go, Mr Meepok’s Signature Minced Meat Noodle dish didn’t blow me away, however I discovered it to be a fairly priced dish given the varation of toppings that it got here with.

I made a decision to check the Signature Minced Meat Noodle with Mr Meepok’s common Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle (S$4), which was topped with sliced pork, minced pork, pork liver, meat balls and mushrooms.

The noodles tasted roughly the identical because the Signature Minced Meat Noodle, albeit with none of the spice. The assortment of pork was just a little dry.

Generally the Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle tasted common too, and I might a lot slightly get the Signature Minced Meat Noodle for simply S$1 extra.

The Daily Noodle (S$6) was probably the most attractive dish on the menu. Given its easy identify, I wasn’t certain what to anticipate from it, so I used to be pleasantly stunned to search out out that it was truly a mazesoba dish!

The Daily Noodle consisted of ramen noodles topped with minced pork, two slices of pork stomach, an onsen egg and seaweed. Poking the onsen egg revealed a surprising flowy golden centre that oozed everywhere in the noodles.

The noodles have been bouncy and chewy, and have been flavourful sufficient with out being too salty. The onsen egg supplied some creaminess to the dish. The minced meat was a singular addition that infused components from a standard bak chor mee dish into the Daily Bowl.

The slices of pork stomach have been just a little powerful and never as tender as I might have favored, however they have been well-marinated with a meaty and umami flavour. The seaweed was an ideal garnish to the dish, giving the noodles an additional little bit of Japanese aptitude.

I used to be impressed with Mr Meepok’s Daily Noodle, and for simply S$6, it was definitely definitely worth the value.

The last dish I attempted was the Laksa (S$4), Mr Meepok’s tackle a traditional Singaporean dish. The portion of Laksa was fairly beneficiant, and the bowl consisted of white noodles, bean sprouts and cockles.

The laksa broth itself tasted just a little one-dimensional. It was missing the aroma of coconut milk and was not very sturdy or full-bodied. The different components of the Laksa have been fairly normal, and as a complete, I wasn’t too impressed by the Laksa.

Final ideas

Mr Meepok’s dishes have been nicely priced, however personally I solely discovered the Daily Noodle to be attention-grabbing sufficient for a second journey. While I wouldn’t journey again simply to have these dishes once more, I might get the Daily Noodle if I have been within the space.

Expected injury: S$3.50 – S$6 per pax
