Soo Kee Noodle House

It has been a while since I last went to Lau Pa Sat (or “old market” in the Hokkien dialect), Singapore's first wet market that dates back over 150 years ago.

With the rapid commercialisation of hawker food in the past few decades, I once felt that Lau Pa Sat also fell into the trap of expensive, and 'normalised' food quality; except that in my last trip, the renovation done to the place managed to revive the nostalgia years and of course, attracted some food stalls worth visiting.

Dinner was Soo Kee Noodle House's fishball noodles.

Lau Pa Sat, Singapore 

18 Raffles Quay Singapore 048582

5 minutes walk from Raffles Place MRT

$3.00 for a bowl of fishball noodles (plus additional discount if you have a Kopitiam card)

It was good. A no surprise when cooked with lard, paired with smooth quality fish balls. The thin noodles ("mee kia") was not the usual, it's a little thicker giving it a chewy bite. While the sauce tend to be a little generous, I felt that it would be better if I had ordered the noodles with chilli instead.

For the price, it's worth a try (★ ★ ★ ✰ ☆)
