\"bakmie04\"
\nAn Indonesian friend brought me here, saying “This is Indonesia’s answer to bak chor mee<\/em>,” and that the noodles reminded him of home. It used to be a stall in Centerpoint and the queue was notorious, now it has expanded to a full-fledged simple restaurant without much of a decor. Not an easy place to find, it is on the second floor<\/strong> near the end of the shophouses.<\/p>\n

\"bakmieThe menu is very simple: just bakmie<\/strong> (bak mee, get it?, meat noodles) with a choice of toppings of fried dumpling<\/strong>, wanton<\/strong>, beefball<\/strong>, fishball<\/strong>, and chicken cutlet<\/strong>. I left the ordering to my friend, thinking he could order a few toppings, but he ordered two bakmie with the same topping, fried dumpling ($5.50<\/strong> for a bowl of noodles). I was like, “Why didn’t you other something else so that we can share?”<\/p>\n

He replied, “That’s the only good thing here.” Next time I will do the ordering.<\/p>\n

The noodles were not bad. It was a simple version of our bak chor mee without mushrooms and chili. It tasted a lot like Mamee Monster snack<\/a>\u00a0with fragrant oil. Although the noodles were quite bouncy, the texture was Mamee snack’s, water hadn’t completely soaked through the noodles. As for the fried dumplings (pangsit goreng<\/strong>), it was an UFO with a tiny miserable bump in the middle known as minced meat. There was just too much dough oozing oil to get through and I gave up and passed it to my friend.<\/p>\n

\"bakmie\"We also ordered prawn toast<\/strong> ($2.50), which was fried dough studded with sesame seeds. “Is this what you eat in Indonesia?”<\/p>\n

He whispered, “No, no, we don’t have this there.” HAHAHA.<\/p>\n

Anyway, avoid the toast: oozing with oil and not delicious.<\/p>\n

I could see the attraction of the noodles, very simple food, but I wish I had tried the other toppings. I actually quite liked the noodles (but not other things) and somehow my friend felt very apologetic and asked, “You don’t like?”<\/p>\n

I joked, “Let’s go for our REAL dinner.”<\/p>\n

Including drinks, we paid $18.60 for two<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
