Vingin Post on Blogspot... Fish Ball Noodles Stall!

My 1st post using blogspot for the year 2014!

 24/02/2014 朝州鱼圓面@Hougang 105 ~ Recommend by Foodie Ray Chua.

I visited this stall that you could hardly miss when you see the Q, that's the stall.  The smell of Stockfish "柴鱼" fills the area which adds on to your hunger.

Stockfish ~ a common dried fish which is usually fried/toasted/grill before adding to soup for their fresh woody smell and also gives the soup a "干甜"taste which makes the soup tasty. The toasting/grilling of this ingredient has to be timed correctly as it would give a bitter taste if overdone.  Mostly used in chinese cooking.

Ordered Bak Chor Mee with a bowl of Fish Dumplings Soup.

Mee Pok is done with springy feel, just nice for chewing. The cook washed the noodles in cold water after 1st soak in the boiling water before cooking it further, this method not only add texture to the noodles, it also was off the yeast smell. Coupled with the mild spicy chilli, the mixture was just nice without having the chilli overpowering all the taste.
The fishball and fishcake are fresh ,without the fishy smell, texture of springiness and soft bites which fits kids well.

The Fish dumpling skin has very smooth, slippery feel and filled with quarter teaspoon fillings of fish paste has the "sea" taste.

The stall owners are friendly and greeted every customers with "Thank You" when customers pick up their orders. Over all experience is well and pretty worth the Q.
