He Jia Huan Ban Mian•Mee Hoon Kway - 496 Jurong West Street 41

Asked for dry noodles. It's actually swimming in so much soup the entirety of black sauce is diluted so badly. Bland. Used to be so much better with the lady

stall with usually long queue in this area. managed to try with short queue at off peak hours. nice flavorful soup base with plenty of ingredients. noted flour used different from other stall. to try dry type noodle next visit.

Tasty mee hoon kueh! This warm and heart bowl of mee hoon kueh is loaded with ingredients!

Taste of the ban mian was alright only. However, nasty temper with extremely poor service by the lady with long golden hair. Impatient to hear out and understand the customer's order correctly. When she realized it was wrong, she vent her frustration by kicking the stall's metal cabinet loudly. Horrible attitude and would not recommend to visit the stall.

The noodles are average but the service is terrible. I think they have quite popular in delivery service. I queue about 15 min and the delivery order with bulk purchase is keep cut the queue. There is only two people infont of me but was no one wanna take order for the queueing side. Guess they can survive for only delivery order. So who ever want to try please don't queue, order online is faster. At the end I just left the queue and find some other stall. Not worth the time waiting a food that just average taste.

Better than average ban main stall with super long queue during peak hours. Portion of meat/vege/Ilan bills is quite generous. The soup quite flavorful too. Stall with Lotsa item on the menu. (Abalone slice, prawn etc) but with variant price tag. Tom yum was a bit on the spicy side.

This should be the fan favourite in the coffeeshop, before and after renovation, evident from the constant queue throughout the day - it’s also our favourite banmian go to! The eemian dry is my personal favourite, the black sauce coupled with the occasional spice kick from the chilli really makes for a sumptuous bowl of noodle! ? The banmian soup is pretty good too, the broth is flavourful all around, and those handmade noodles are a touch above the rest ??

Across the border, a phenomena has been happening even before the pandemic. Many successful food hawkers start to employ foreign workers and almost without exceptions, the food quality drops. We seldom see this in Singapore but today I came across one such case. He Jia Huan used to be very famous in the west side for their Handmade Noodles or Ban Mian. The coffee shop they were located in caught fire a few years ago and since then I have not been back. Decided to revisit this stall today and to my surprise, the shop is still around but run by Vietnamese. I ordered my usual mee hoon kway. At 10.30am I was the first in queue (so I cannot attest to whether their business is still as good as before). But the taste has changed. First off, the soup has no more umph! It was just simple clear broth, very little umami. Secondly, the mee hoon kway was not hand torn but came in square pieces cut by cookie cutter. The reason why I always appreciate the hand torn versions is because the one pre-cut end up in clumps (see photo). Stirring vigorously during cooking may avoid this but not always. Today I had to chew through stacks of mee hoon kway sometimes three layers thick. The one saving grace of this stall is the price. At $4.50, the portion you get is big and they generously give lots of minced meat, sliced pork and an egg. The ikan bilis was a let down, although they gave lots of it. They seem to be those you can buy off the shelf rather than fried in-house and very salty. They also use sayur manis but quite stingy with the vegetable. Chilli sauce was not the cut red peppers with soya sauce but it was also very salty. Let you guess whether I’m coming back any time soon.
