I travelled right down to <\/span>Old Airport Road Food Centre<\/b> with the intention of reviewing a specific <\/span>wanton mee<\/span><\/i> spot. Sadly, it was shut that day for unknown causes. Just as I used to be about to move off, one other stall situated behind the hawker centre known as <\/span>Sky JB Mian Fen Kueh<\/b> caught my eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"sky

I’ve to confess, I\u2019m a sucker for something Malaysian\u2026 and the phrase \u201cJB\u201d enticed me to take a better take a look at the menu.<\/p>\n

\"sky

The 12-year-old stall is owned by Louisa and her husband, who hail from Johor Bahru. They serve regular, pumpkin and spinach <\/span>mee hoon kueh<\/em> (<\/span>all are handmade).<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides the standard soup model, Sky JB Mian Fen Kueh additionally provides the choice of <\/span>tom yum<\/span><\/i> and curry broth.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I attempted at Sky JB Mian Fen Kueh<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"sky

To begin issues off, I ordered the <\/span>Spinach <\/b>Mian Fen Kueh<\/i><\/b> (S$4.50)<\/b>. It was served in a transparent broth that was stuffed with spinach <\/span>mee hoon kueh<\/span><\/i>, fishballs, minced meat clusters, <\/span>ikan bilis<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>ma ni cai <\/span><\/i>(one thing hardly ever seen in Singapore)<\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"sky

The spinach <\/span>mee hoon kueh<\/span><\/i> didn’t actually style very similar to Popeye\u2019s favorite meals, but it surely had an important texture. I notably cherished the broth which was clean-tasting and naturally candy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"sky

According to my eating accomplice (my dad), ma ni cai<\/em> was moderately frequent again within the kampong<\/em> days. The paper-thin vegetable had a barely tough texture and jogged my memory of candy potato leaves.<\/p>\n

\"sky

The addition of fishballs to mee hoon kueh<\/em> was one thing out of the abnormal, and I used to be on board with the peculiar mixture. It by some means labored splendidly.<\/p>\n

\"sky

I took a break from noodles and tried the Yuanbao<\/em> Dumplings (S$5 for 10 pcs)<\/strong>. They had been positioned on a easy disposable plate with a facet of ginger strips soaked in black vinegar.<\/p>\n

\"sky

Although the pores and skin of the dumplings weren\u2019t the thinnest round, the filling was a pleasant trio of minced pork, chives and sliced cabbage.<\/p>\n

\"sky

\"sky

I despatched the dumplings for a fast dip into the black vinegar and ginger, and was rewarded with a tangy spiced-up mouthful of goodness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"sky

I moved on to my ultimate dish, the Spicy Pumpkin Mian Fen Kueh<\/em> (S$5)<\/strong> with an extra Egg (+S$0.60)<\/strong>. It was a beautiful mess which consisted of pumpkin mee hoon kueh<\/em>, minced pork clusters, ikan bilis<\/em>, fishballs, pork lard bits, and ma ni cai <\/em>(one thing hardly ever seen in Singapore).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"sky

\"sky

I blended every part up, and the bowl of elements glistened from the hidden gravy mendacity on the backside. By then, my tummy had already begun to rumble and I couldn\u2019t wait to take the primary chew.<\/p>\n

\"sky

Similar to the spinach model, I couldn\u2019t detect any vital pumpkin style from the <\/span>mee hoon kueh<\/span><\/i>. The beautiful golden items of dough possessed a superb texture with out being overly floury. The seasoning of the gravy was additionally completely calibrated\u2014 I had no complaints.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"sky

The dynamic duo of pork lard bits and crispy ikan bilis<\/em> uplifted the dish with completely different spectrums of umami<\/em>-ness.<\/p>\n

The spice degree was sufficient to make beads of sweat seem on my brow, but it surely didn’t depart me scrambling for a glass of water.<\/p>\n

\"sky

The dry choices at Sky JB Mian Fen Kueh are served with separate bowls of soup, which comprise extra <\/span>ma ni cai<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Egg<\/span><\/i> inside was completely poached, and the gooey yolk was launched upon prodding it with my utensils\u2014 this made the soup extra creamy and thick. Score!<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"sky

I\u2019ve all the time believed that every part occurs for a cause (that day was an ideal instance). I wouldn\u2019t have recognized concerning the existence of Sky Jb Mian Fen Kueh if not for the closure of the hawker stall I\u2019d initially meant to go to.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I return, I plan to go for his or her dry <\/span>mee hoon kueh <\/span><\/i>once more and check out the opposite choices as effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expected injury: S$4 \u2013 S$7 per pax<\/i><\/p>\n
