One of the most popular hawker stalls at (the under-rated) Telok Blangah Crescent Food Centre is easily Song Heng Fishball Noodles 松興鱼圆粿条面.
I call Telok Blangah Crescent the ‘fishball and fishcake’ food centre, as there are a number of reputable stalls selling these.
By the way, other recommended stalls at Telok Blangah Crescent Food Centre include Fei Lou Porridge, Guan Seng Carrot Cake, Xiang Ji Porridge, Ah Boon Handmade Fishcake, Labrador Malay Food, Jiak Song Mee Hoon Kway, and Rejoicings.
Song Heng Fishball Noodles consistently attracts a loyal customer base, and it is easy to understand why.
A Teochew-style Fishball Noodles goes inexpensively for $3.50 for soup version, $4 for dry. Customers can also buy 10 pieces of fishballs at $4.
Despite the line, the queue moves relatively fast.
I would usually get the dry version of the noodles (mee pok for me), which comes with a savoury mix of sauces and crispy pork lard, adding a fragrant crunch to each bite.
The noodles cooked al dente. Give them a good toss to be drenched in this spicy, savoury chilli sauce that complements the mild flavours of the fishballs.
I love the handmade fishballs, not too big, but bouncy, supple with fresh flavour, standing out in a market saturated with similar offerings.
There is a certain simple, old-school flavour about this.
Note that the broth accompanying the noodles has a light and clear taste (which I don’t mind), while some customers may prefer something more flavourful.
Despite its popularity, the stall manages to maintain a homely feel, with a friendly atmosphere often noted by regulars.
