I have always noticed a crowd at Song Kee Fishball Noodle along Upper Serangoon Road whenever I am on my way home and I have always wanted to check out the place. Managed to ask a friend who stays at Serangoon one evening to join me. When I reached the place around 1130pm, the place was already pretty crowded with many tables waiting for their order. I was told that I need to wait for 30 minutes and indeed I did.
Mee Kia Dry 4/5
We ordered a bowl of Mee Kia Dry ($3.50) and Mee Pok Dry ($3.50). Each bowl of noodle came with 3 fishballs, a fish dumpling (Her Giao) and a Tao Pok stuffed with fish paste. The noodles and chilli sauce were rather normal. The star has to be their ingredients and the used of pork lard.
Mee Pok Dry 4/5
The fishball that is about the size of a ping pong ball is made from yellowtail. The fishball was springy and bouncy. I like the fish dumpling (Her Giao) the most. Biting into the fish dumpling, the aroma of the shallot oil from the filling simply filled the whole mouth. I only visit I can have more of them in my bowl of noodle.
I have been observing but still can't figure out why the uncle takes so long to cook a bowl of noodle. His motion was pretty fast and it doesn't seem to have unnecessary action. Anyway, if you do visit Song Kee Fishball Noodle and there is a crowd, proceed to make your order and take a queue number first before finding a seat. The wait can be quite long. For the drinks you can take it yourself from the fridge first. Just pay together with the noodle when it is served.
