Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee at Old Airport Road - Really Ho Jiak leh!

Xin Mei Xiang has always been praised for selling the best Lor Mee in Singapore. It is located at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre. Lor Mee is a Hokkien dish served in a bowl of yellow flat noodles, thick, starchy, vinegary sauce prepared with spices and with ingredients such as fish, braised pork and egg.

At around 9.45am, there was already a queue of around 25 pax at Xin Mei Xiang! I thought I was early but no, 20 other people were earlier! I was not disappointed at all because at least, it was opened! It was closed every time I wanted to try it.

S$5 - Very appetising!
The queue was a moving one and I could see that the stall assistants were trying their best to keep it moving. When there were only 10 pax in front of me, a stall assistant came to take our orders. I ordered the S$5 portion. By the time I reached the stall, I was promptly served with a bowl of piping hot Lor Mee! It looked very appetising, with a generous amount of fish, on top of the noodles.

Delicious sauce so soothing to the soul
Finally, I got to taste what everyone was so crazy about. Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee made me totally get it that the sauce is of paramount importance. The sauce shone like a diamond. As mentioned, Lor Mee sauce is starchy, vinegary and made with sauce. It could easily go wrong and ended up being disgusting but Xin Mei Xiang did this wonderfully balanced!

There was plenty of fresh tasting fish, with bits of fragrance. There was also quite a few pieces of soft, braised pork. A mouthful of noodles, egg, fish, meat and sauce, was extremely yummy. I was lost in my own Lor Mee world. My worries faded into the background.

Ho Ho Jiak! For this reason, I totally get the 20 pax queue at 9.45am.
