Start Your Sunday Morning Right - Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim Mee Pok

Teh C

What a name! Word had it that the noodle stall was previous located at Jalan Tua Kong before shifting to their current location at Simpang Bedok. But I digress. My idea of a perfect Sunday morning is quite simple really, just a good cup of tea served in a ceramic cup and a lip-smacking bowl of Mee Pok (dry noodles). I love my Sunday brunches, but you know and I know that we can't get mee pok like this anywhere else. Here's my confession: I only get coffee/tea when they're served in ceramic cups - the thickness and smoothness feels great against the lips and somehow it does taste better. Am I alone on this one?

Mee Pok, $3.50

The Mee Pok, as usual, was truly fantastic. The ingredients were as fresh as can be, but the magic really laid in the noodles, sauce, and healthy dose of lard. Excuse the oxymoron. The sauce was truly a mastery mix of spicy and savoury. Even the soup was a notch tastier than your average fish ball noodle soup. This bowl of Mee Pok is all I need to start my day right. I'm lucky because my dad has been bringing me here since I was little. Granted, it was a good twenty minute wait, but M and I hit up the place at lunch hour (our idea of Asian Brunch), so we weren't expecting anything less. Well worth it, I'd say. Grab the daily newspaper, get some coffee or tea, and just take things slow. It's a Sunday breakfast, after all.


P.S. Are you heading to Hong Kong anytime soon? I'm working on a guide and will be posting it in the next few days!
