It looks like my journey to uncover the very best <\/span>mee rebus <\/span><\/i>on the town begins anew with my lunch at <\/span>Yunos N Family<\/b>, which is situated at <\/span>724 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6<\/b>. Like virtually all famend Malay stalls, Yunos N Family has been round, since <\/span>1965 <\/b>to be precise, and sure this specific 12 months was additionally the 12 months Singapore gained independence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fun reality: Actor and TV persona, Gurmit Singh wasn\u2019t even a 12 months previous when Yunos N Family was round.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

Yunos N Family was began by the late Haji Yunos Ahmad as a push cart stall at Hastings Road promoting, you guessed it, <\/span>mee rebus<\/span><\/i>. His legacy is saved alive by his son, grandson, and a handful of family. Blood is certainly thicker than <\/span>mee rebus <\/span><\/i>gravy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Haji Yunos was of Javanese origins which meant that his recipes are likely to lean on the sweeter facet and in addition require a prep time as early as 6am!<\/span><\/p>\n

What I attempted at Yunos N Family<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

Though Yunos N Family might inform an identical story of a selected delicacies\u2019s heritage, it doesn\u2019t fall into the identical trope of getting a restricted menu that hasn\u2019t been touched for many years. Yunos N Family presents in all probability essentially the most in depth <\/span>mee rebus <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>mee soto <\/span><\/i>choices on the island.<\/span><\/p>\n

For starters, the <\/span>mee rebus <\/span><\/i>alone presents over 9<\/span> variations. Some of them embody <\/span>Mee Rebus Tarik <\/i><\/b>(Satay)<\/b> (<\/strong>S$6.90), <\/b>Mee Rebus <\/i><\/b>Drumstick (S$6) <\/b>and <\/span>Mee Rebus Babat <\/i><\/b>(Tripe) (S$5.50).\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Equally stellar have been the alternatives out there for <\/span>mee soto,<\/span><\/i> with choices comparable to <\/span>Mee Soto <\/i><\/b>Dinosaur (S$5.50) <\/b>which was served with all bony components of the rooster, such because the neck and rib cage. One of its highlights aside from its noodle choices is the basic Indonesian dish, <\/span>Gado \u2013 Gado <\/i><\/b>(S$4.50).<\/b><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t even scratched the floor of the menu, because it additionally has freshly grilled <\/span>satays <\/span><\/i>with flavours like <\/span>Mutton, Beef, Chicken <\/b>and <\/span>Tripe <\/b>all costing <\/span>S$0.80 per stick (min 10 sticks). <\/b>Rounding off the menu are a number of soup dishes comparable to <\/span>Soup <\/b>Ayam <\/i><\/b>(S$4.50) <\/b>and <\/span>Soup <\/b>Ekor <\/i><\/b>(oxtail) (S$6).<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

I went forward with <\/span>Mee Rebus <\/i><\/b>Ribs (S$7) <\/b>and an order of <\/span>Satay <\/i><\/b>(S$8) <\/b>with each <\/span>Chicken <\/b>and <\/span>Mutton.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a lot to fault by way of presentation. The <\/span>Mee Rebus Ribs <\/span><\/i>appeared very very similar to your typical <\/span>mee rebus<\/span><\/i>. The wealthy brown sauce is topped with chopped inexperienced chilli, fried shallots, small slices of fried <\/span>tofu<\/span><\/i> and a boiled egg, submerged in gravy. Similarly, the ribs shared the identical destiny because the egg.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t blame me for going straight for the ribs, which required some digging by means of the yellow noodles and viscous gravy. And it was price it! The ribs have been actually cooked rather well and have been bone-sliding tender. It wasn\u2019t actually seasoned, with most of its flavours coming from the gravy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What got here by means of was the gameness of the meat, which I felt was excellent (although my tolerance for gameness is kind of excessive). You additionally get round 4 items of ribs which was honest for the extra <\/span>S$3<\/b> in comparison with the fundamental\u00a0Mee Rebus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

Onto the primary star of the present, the gravy. I assumed it tasted extra refined than your common <\/span>mee rebus<\/span><\/i>. There weren\u2019t any outstanding candy or spicy flavours that you simply often get. Even the signature nuttiness was subdued, although it didn\u2019t stifle any enjoyment when paired with the chewy yellow noodles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having mentioned that, the gravy was nonetheless as condensed as ever, which made me marvel if the watered-down style was intentional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the perimeters appear to have taken a step again from contributing to the flavours. The beansprouts have been intermixed with the noodles and didn\u2019t have the crunch that I used to be looking for. Similarly, I felt that the fried <\/span>tofu<\/span><\/i> was sliced too thinly, which made them mix with the gravy, eliminating any risk of one other chewy texture.<\/span><\/p>\n

At least the chopped chilli offered some type of warmth and the boiled egg tasted because it ought to. I did benefit from the addition of fried shallots (which wasn\u2019t the norm) because it added a modest quantity of savoury flavour.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

Finally, it was on to the <\/span>Satay<\/span><\/i>. I realised that my <\/span>Satay <\/span><\/i>order took longer than my <\/span>Mee Rebus,<\/span><\/i> which was comprehensible as they have been grilled to order on a mini-<\/span>satay<\/span><\/i> griller. There was the choice of including <\/span>Ketupat <\/i><\/b>(rice cake) <\/b>for <\/span>S$0.50<\/b> however after the carbs and gravy I had earlier, I opted to not.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

I actually loved the <\/span>Chicken Satay<\/span><\/i> because it jogged my memory of the one I had at <\/span>Satay Sumang <\/b>at <\/span>Canberra<\/b><\/a>. It had simply the correct amount of chew while not being dry. Subtlety is likely to be the theme of my lunch, because the flavours solely hinted at cumin with some sweetness to it. I do respect the charred style that was obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

Sadly, the <\/span>Mutton Satay <\/span><\/i>didn\u2019t fare as nicely, because it was chewier and drier. It additionally was alarmingly candy (perhaps this was primarily based on a Javanese recipe?) and was undoubtedly the weaker hyperlink. I discovered the <\/span>satay <\/span><\/i>sauce to be watered down as nicely, with no sturdy peanut flavours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It in all probability wasn\u2019t such a nasty factor because the <\/span>Mee Rebus <\/span><\/i>was already wealthy as it’s. In reality, I don\u2019t suppose I\u2019d suggest ordering each dishes, particularly when consuming alone. Yunos N Family is likely to be missing in sturdy flavours however its richness was nonetheless there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final ideas<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Yunos<\/p>\n

Despite my feedback, I didn\u2019t suppose I had a nasty lunch. I really loved it regardless of the obvious lack of flavours. Though trying again, I believe it was simply me who anticipated profound flavours because the row of individuals queuing in entrance of Yunos N Family didn\u2019t cease even after I completed my meal. They in all probability knew higher than me.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a particular must-try, particularly for all <\/span>mee rebus <\/span><\/i>fanatics. May your street lead you to heat <\/span>mee rebus<\/span><\/i>!<\/span><\/p>\n
