Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles

 After being voted the Best Fishball Noodles in Singapore by Class 95, the queue at Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles has become nothing short of outstanding. Located at Mei Ling Market & Food Centre, this humble stall now draws long lines of hungry customers eager to find out what makes its fishball noodles so special.

We queued for about 20–30 minutes, with the stall run by a guy and his mum. Despite the long queue, he was working at a fast pace, taking orders one after another. We went for the dry Mee Pok, which came with a bowl of soup and five fishballs. The noodles were well tossed in their seasoning, topped with chilli and pork lard, making for a simple yet satisfying bowl.

I’m used to having my Bee Tai Mak dry with chilli and Tomato Ketchup, but this time, the stall only provided chilli. Instead, I was given a sachet of ketchup to mix in myself, my first ever DIY sauce experience! Despite its simple appearance, the noodles were well seasoned and flavourful.

The sibling simply couldn’t get enough of the five fishballs that came with our noodles and ended up ordering 10 more! I guess we have the fishballs to blame for being so addictive, bouncy, smooth and swimming in a flavourful soup. Simple, plain and comforting, just the way fishball soup should be.

Worth the queue? If you are a fan of fishball noodles, I would say yes. There’s nothing overly fancy about it, just bouncy fishballs, comforting soup and well-seasoned noodles that deliver a simple, satisfying bowl.
