Yuan Chun Famous Lor Mee - #02-79/80 Yuan Chun Famous Lor Mee

Nov 2019. Had this for breakfast when i saw the accolades it earned. At $4, the sides were trashy. It was a bowl full of useless carbs. There was no fish and replaced with some fried flour cubes. I had to say the gravy was thick and flavourful.

Went down nearby and decided to try this stall. Didn't realize it is just 1.9 on goggle. Until I log in and want to post. No picture. Coz I didn't even take the food and left. I went and ask for a bowl for $4. The cook say small... I say is OK. I am more of a ingredients eating person. So I wanted.. $4 a bowl... Add $4 of fish and $4 of pork balls and $3 Ngoh Hiang. He gave me that death look. Say don't sell. So I was like.. OK. Then don't want. Then he ask me of I want add to $5. I say don't need. I don't want so much noodles. I just want to eat ingredients , since he don't want sell. It is OK. Then he say. $5, expensive? I was like... I wanted to order $15 of food for 1 person. You dont want. Then you insist I upgrade to $5. Maybe he don't want to go fry things again.. But I thought all these stalls.. always like customer to add and add stuffs? I was like never mind... $5. Then $5. Then he was like..... Why you never say earlier. Then start to retake. But it was still that $4 bowl I ordered. And I can see the ingredients are very minimum. He just put on the table. So I just ask him.. if $4 and $5. The same. He say already add noodles. He knows himself.... He added. But it was that same bowl....I ordered $4.. he already boil the noodles. I look at him and smile... Say uncle , never mind. Don't need get angry. Just a bowl of noodles. I paid and left.

I now understand why average rating is 2.0. Service aside, which I don’t really care given that it’s a hawker stall, the taste is just different from the conventional lor mee. It’s just not lor mee. In fact, it’s very much different that it would have qualified for a separate dish to be named. In all honesty, it’s hard to recommend this place at all. And I’m just very surprised that there’s always a queue at this place. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s either you love it or you hate it, or if u just rate it based on it being lor mee or not.

Very bad experience at this shop. The uncle who i assume is the boss has a very bad attitude, ask for extra vinegar and he added so much until the food taste so horrible. Very unwilling to serve, slow service and no queue as well. Ordered $7 portion, portion was small, taste horrible. Previous owner made better Lor Mee. Never going back again ?

Had this lor mee for lunch. Super disappointed. For $5 a standard bowl with 2 small pieces of ngoh huang, 2 small pieces of pork belly and abit of shredded fish pieces, the gravy is so diluted as I am eating a bowl of noodle soup. I only took 2 mouthful... enough, not worth the calories. It's a one man show and the uncle is super slow in cooking, thus a small queue is forming.

Lor Mee. My favourite lor mee stall in amoy is closed till next January due to the renovation that is ongoing now. This bowl scores for its vinegar and broth that makes it taste like I'm drinking a sweet and sour soup but very tasty.

Not sure the how's the taste before but guess I had Miss it..... Once use to be 2 stall with same name and now....it is stand alone. Maybe I order topup.... I was given a whole row of Ngo hiang.... Gravy taste so so only... But portion is big. I don't find anything special ...Give 3 star coz I could find the Ngo hiang with prawn and some fish meat was added. Revisiting - to be considered

Amoy Street has many great food for lunch and one of the well reviewed is this gem of a lor mee located on the second level. Stall doesn't looks like much but the first thing that will strike you is how spanking clean and organised it is for a hawker stall. Main ingredients are already laid out in full view, and given the current covid situation, vendor even recommends touchless and cashless electronic payments. Menu start from $4/$5/$6 and I believe the main difference is how much ingredients to go into your braised noodle bowl. Given current Singapore hawker rate, don't complain if you feel for $4 you don't get much ingredients. I asked for $6. And it is topped to the brim with the main four ingredients. Namely fried dough, braised pork belly, fish meat flakes, ngo hiang and fried meat balls. For a dollar more you could actually have your own mix. Today I went for a general mix. Instead of a sambal chilli, they offer red cut chilli, and no grated garlic either. Black vinegar and white pepper you may help yourself. What strikes me first tossing the noodles in the thick gooey signature broth is the aroma of braised soup, the light fragrance of five spices and when you slurp the al dente flat yellow noodles evenly coated, you can savour the light sweetness of the broth. Unlike many other famous lor mee, either too thick, or too heavy on spices, or worse, too watery, the consistency of the broth is key. As for the four ingredients, the fried dough, meatballs and ngo hiang left not much of an impression except some crunch. Though the braised pork belly was tasty and flavourful, and the fish flakes yummy, definitely not your farmed dory flakes but actual cooked sea fish flakes and you don't find that much in Lor Mee these days. Definitely coming back for more, but doing that add on choice of ingredients for only braised pork belly, fish flakes with the broth coated flat yellow noodles. Yummy Lor Mee heaven. Jan 2022 update Can't believe things changed so much. Its the same uncle. The same stall. 1230pm peak lunch time no queue. Got my Lor Mee and it certainly doesn't even look the part of what I had here before. When uncle was blanching my noodles I already noticed the pot of water is boiling yellow foam. Then the top up trays I do not see fish. Except the last of the pork belly in tiny strips it's all fried gluten. No ngo hiang either. I got a whole bowl of watery starch. The Lor sauce is a watery mess of sandy sour water I cannot even call it broth with limp noodles swimming tasting like akaline. In general I do not like to waste food. Even more I do not like to waste precious calorie on poor food. You have to murder me to get me to come back.
