This stall serves a very decent bowl of fishball noodles for $3.50. I added extra noodles for 50 cents, ordered the dry version with chilli and vinegar. …

Handmade fishballs and meatballs were extremely bouncy and juicy. Soup was sweet and refreshing. Definitely recommended to try this stall!

I never expected to find such a nice, good quality fishball noodle shop here. The fishball and meatball can be comparable to those on the Michelin Bib. However, who cares about awards. …

Fishballs were handmade and had great quality. Noodles and soup also hit the spot. Overall, good.

One of my favourite meepok stalls. Price is reasonable but long queue during peak hours or weekends. Their meatball and fishcake are fantastic. I regularly have my breakfast fixed there. Try once and you will return again. Thumbs up.
