Poon Nah City Home Made Noodle: My Bian Mian Satisfying Alternative
I used to be a big fan of Qiu Lian Home Made noodles which began in 1988 by Madam Ong Qiu Lian who inherited the family recipe from her grandmother. Almost every Sunday, I would patronise their Bishan branch (which was the best in my opinion) with my family. Every bowl of their noodles is homemade-style and unpretentious.
After the Bishan outlet was closed, I no longer visit other branches anymore. Instead, I have been going to these ban mian specialist stalls around Singapore to satisfy my Ban Mian craving. One of them is Poon Nah City Home Made Noodle. I will always head there for lunch before shopping.
Located at the food court of City Plaza, this stall serves excellent bowl of ban mian. There are 8 different kind of noodles for you to choose from, from ban mian to you mian, mee sua, bean flour noodle etc. And there are so many permutations, you can either pair it with prawns, fish, kidney, clams etc. I always take a long time to look through the menu, but always ended up with the same order – Abalone Clam Hand Made Noodle ($4). Come on Maureen, you can do better next time. Haha! I always wanted to go for prawns but am too lazy to remove the shells, so clams is a better choice for me.
So what I like about Poon Nah’s is the chewy and soft noodles, plus the clear soup is tasty and that I can finish the whole bowl of it. With the use of wolfberry leaves in their dishes, the combination is mouthwatering! Their chilli sauce totally lifted the entire flavours with a punch. I basically dipped everything into the chilli.
They also sell deep fried items like luncheon meat ($3) and beancurd skin ($1) to pair with the noodles. But I would skip this because I think $3 for luncheon meat is way too expensive, and the items are too oily for my liking. However, I would always order a popiah ($1.50) to share and ended my lunch with a bowl of chendol. Go for the desserts, it’s great!
