chilli mee - 8.5/10"fiery and fragrant. a singaporean-chinese fashioned this dish with its spicy multi-ethnic influences. noodles are smothered with special burn-your-lips chilli sauce, topped with prawns, fishcake, or porkribs, and slices of fried beancurd. originally a humble dish of just noodles topped with chilli sauce, it has evolved with more ingredients, upping its "yum" factor."
i never really knew what chilli me was until my cousin brought me there one fine day for lunch. he said he knew this place that has really good chilli mee. i remember reading through makansutra and always wondering wth chilli mee was, but i never got around to trying it. coincedentally that day though, the chilli mee stall that my cousin brought me to WAS the one in the makansutra book. interestingly, there is only ONE chilli mee stall that made it to makansutra, and this is it.
what i love about this stall is the pork ribs. they use the soft bone pork ribs, so you can chew on the whole thing and eat it without having to spit out the bones. and the taste is fantastic. personally, i think the choice of noodles should be "mee". those mee rebus type of thick yellow noodles. that's what i find goes perfectly well with the texture and viscousity of the chilli sauce. the chilli isn't that spicy, it's more savoury than spicy in fact. i usually get an extra helping of chilli to up the yum factor a couple notches.
definitely something to try for those of you who don't know what chilli mee is.
