Jue Dai Lor Mee – Starchy Goodness in Ci Yuan Hawker Centre
October 13, 2021
As a natural early riser, I always look forward to a hearty breakfast before starting my day. One of my favourite picks for the morning has to be a starchy bowl of Lor Mee. Luckily for me, I stumbled upon a hidden gem in the North-East!
Located in Ci Yuan Hawker Centre, this unassuming stall attracts long queues right when it opens. When I went at 9am, there were five people ahead of me, and the line continued to grow after I grabbed my order.
With affordable prices ranging from $2.80 to $4, the stall sells four variations of Lor Mee that differ by their key toppings. You can also choose to add on Yam Roll ($1), Cartilage ($1), Chicken Cutlet ($2), and Cod Fish ($3) to your bowl.
We ordered the Tradition Lor Mee ($4) that’s teeming with ingredients such as braised pork slices, half a boiled egg, fried fish, and yellow noodles — all bathed in a thick gravy. We also added Cod Fish ($3) to the bowl.
Right off the bat, the gravy was starchy but not too overwhelming. A big dollop of ginger, red chilli, and drizzles of vinegar served inside the gravy also helped in lifting the gravy’s heavy flavours. The gravy clung to the yellow noodles, which retained their firmness. The fried fish was fresh with a light, crisp exterior. However, the braised pork was average, and it could’ve been more tender.
We also ordered the Cod Fish Lor Mee ($4) that features deep-fried battered codfish. I like codfish and was pleasantly impressed by the fish’s fluffy meat encased in a thin crispy battered skin.
I would say that my morning was made a lot brighter with the value-for-money bowls of Lor Mee that Jue Dai Lor Mee serves. So if you’re in the area, drop by and give it a try!
