ah hoe actually offer quite many noodle styles.

there is the fishball noodles, the bakchormee (my usual orders), the S$10 crayfish noodles & the $10 bg prawn noodles.

today i also ordered the S$6 japanese fusion mee pok(only available on weekends). they have miso & shoyu (i picked miso) & basically gave the chasu (braised pork). See top photo.

i had enjoyed ah hoe mee pok the last few times i came, most recently on 16.9.2016.

unfortunately today’s noodles were not nice.

the jap owner rested & a woman then a guy took over when i got to 5th in the queue. don’t know if it made a difference. but today the vinegar was excessive & overpowering & in a way destroyed the dish.

the japanese fusion noodles was not as good as the usual dry mee pok. but at least it was soup so did not have the overpowering vinegar today. the chasu was ok but NOT comparable at all with the real ramen chasu.

overall it was still a nice mee pok but as a soup mee pok no comparison with the xing ji (興记) bakchormee fengshan food centre, which is like the best soup mee pok for me.

wife did not like it. she preferred the jln tua kong mee pok tar at 6th avenue. that we are absolutely in agreement.

i though had liked this ah hoe mee pok also & had it several times but today it was just NOT good la.
