Ah Ho Teochew Noodles

Saw some good review and came to give it a try at Verdun Road coffeeshop. The noodle is cooked al dente and the chilli/oil mix is the star of this fishball noodle. The pork lard also done very well. Very few stall get it right nowadays when it comes to the noodle texture and the pork lard. The soup and ingredients are average and could have elevated the dish further. Pork liver will be good but was not included as I guess it’s not BCM. For $4, the serving is generous and ingredients are also plenty. Love the fried tipo fish which is another plus for me. Give it a try if you are around this area as to me this is one of the better old school fishball noodle.

I took BCM Mee Kia and my wife Mee Pok. It’s different rating for both. Mee Kia was better as I like my noodles less Al Dante (less cooked). The chili and sauce mix is good for me. Ingredients is generous. The mushroom could be more slow cooked longer to make it softer. Soup wasn’t too tasty. But overall for me satisfying. For my wife, nope. She felt noodles in too raw.

One of our regular places to go for fishball noodles because surprisingly, it is not all that hard to get parking at Verdun Road in the mornings There are always seats there as the coffeeshop is quite empty before lunchtime. For the dish itself, it is a good bowl of teochew fishball. The noodles are springy and al dente , with a good bite yet cooked through and not soggy The chili they toss the noodles in is very flavorful. However it varies in the spicy heatiness factor and even if one asks for less, sometimes even a teaspoon can be tongue numbingly hot. So, unless I am up for a big spicy kick to propel my day for breakfast, I will get the soup version. The ingredients are generous, with a her kiau- the fish skin pastry ravioli stuffed with a nugget of fatty pork - very good , fish balls and minced pork. The only thing is that the proprietors, both husband and wife are so grumpy. Not really fun to be served by them early in the morning so sometimes we just prefer to go somewhere else where the servers seem happier to get custom.
