Just when you're about to lose hope on hawker food in Singapore, something special always turns up around the corner.
Like this Har Meen, at Tampines St 82, for example.
Honestly, it's not great. But the broth and the 'sambal' are nostalgically – KL. And that means the world to me.
The prawns are fresh. And the egg, hard-boiled and sliced.
The pork ribs. Ah, the pork ribs. You can be 100% sure they're higher quality than any pork ribs across Malaysia. If you don't believe me, you can just drop by most wet markets across Singapore, and tastes the difference.
But back to Har Meen - the Singaporean bowl of prawn broth noodles laced with spicy chili-based sauce reminded me of a similar bowl of Har Meen I had in Taman Yulek, Cheras, back in good old Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It looks the same, and tastes almost the same.
But the elusive bowl of Har Meen I truly miss, is the one by Ah Keong, at Lorong Jugra, off Old Klang Road. And it looks a little like this:
