I had originally set out for 6th Avenue Wanton Mee at Bukit Timah, only to find the stall temporarily closed. Apparently, Auntie Sally needed to rest her legs.
Disappointed but still craving noodles, I spotted a Fishball Noodle stall right next door.
Given its name, 6th Avenue Fishball Noodles by Auntie Sally was obviously related.
There was only one item on the menu, priced at $5 or $6, and a young hawker was running the stall.
I ordered the larger portion and watched as he moved efficiently behind the counter, blanching the noodles and assembling the bowl with practiced ease.
When my bowl arrived, it looked straightforward but promising.
The bright red bowl held a serving of mee pok topped with handmade fishballs, thin slices of pork, minced meat, and a small prawn.
The sauce-coated noodles glistened, and at first glance, I noticed it lacked the usual vinegary punch found in many local mee pok dishes. But it was still tasty.
The sauce was subtle but enjoyable, with a savoury depth that reminded me a little of Jalan Tua Kong’s version, though less tangy.
It wasn’t overly oily, and each strand was well-coated, making for a smooth and satisfying bite.
The fishballs were the highlight—soft yet bouncy, with a delicate sweetness that suggested they were freshly made.
Unlike the dense, overly chewy factory-made versions, these were light, juicy, and easy to eat.
The pork slices and minced meat added a hearty touch, while the prawn, though small, contributed a hint of seafood flavour.
The accompanying soup was clear and mild, not particularly strong in flavour, but it served its purpose as a light, hot sip between bites.
Would I come back? If I’m in the area, yes.
It may not have been the wanton mee I originally sought, but discovering Auntie Sally’s other dish turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
