Many have come for their handmade fish balls ($4/$6/$8) and meat balls ($5/$6/$10) but you could also have them with your choice of noodle ($3.50/$4.50/$5.50).
.
I ordered a bowl of mee pok dry that come with a bowl of fish ball soup. The first thing that caught my attention was the number of balls in the soup. I counted eight large ones! Five fish balls and three meat balls.
.
I was surprised by how springily soft and smooth it is. The texture is almost tofu-liked and there is no fishy smell.
While the usual factory supplied meat balls are very compact and small in size, the handmade ones here are of a totally different league.
.
With a similar texture and size as the fish balls, the meat balls are made with a mixture of fish paste, minced meat and tee poh (sole fish) which explains the distinctive flavor.
.
The generous portion of noodle did not fare too badly either. Tossed in a concoction of pork lard oil, black vinegar, chili sauce and other seasonings, the well-oiled mee pok had the right balance of sourness, spiciness and savoriness.
.
The size and number of fish balls and meat balls are bound to keep you full even if the noodle does not.
.
This well-executed bowl of fish ball mee pok is definitely value for money. They have another stall at 115 Bukit Merah View Market & Food Centre.
