Affordable fishball noodle at only $2, unbelieable

[tomychua]

Some fishball noodle hawker make a big hooha about his handmade fishball when ask to set a price cap of his noodle at $2.70.

On other side we have nice hawker that willing to keep their price affordable

To keep costs low, the hawker duo source their ingredients straight from factories and prepare everything themselves – from the fishballs to the chili, to the fried onions.

Despite rising costs of ingredients, they insist on selling fishball noodles for just S$2 without cutting back on the amount of food in the bowl. Why?

Because nearby residents comprise mainly elderly folks, and they don’t want to pass on the burden to them by raising prices. And to make sure that anybody can have a meal at anytime of the day, they decided to keep their stall open 24hrs.

It’s run by 37-year-old Mr Lim, and 38-year-old Mr Xie. For S$2, you can get a bowl of mee pok with 6 fishballs. A $3 bowl gets you 10 fishballs. Besides fishball noodles, San Yuan also sells bak chor mee (minced meat noodles) and laksa.

How can he afford to sell at S$2? His rental is free?

His ads are misleading. 7 fish balls for S$2?

I feel I am ripping him off when I paid S$2 for his bowl of noodles.

[h=1] Signature Dry Mee Sua @ Ang Mo Kio [/h] Sunday, 7 June 2015 2 Comments Posted in: * Must Try *, Hawker
I am sleep deprived. For the past two weeks, I wake up tired and spend the day longing for a chance to have a nap. The worst effect of sleep deprivation is – I am forever hungry. It’s really bad. Just when I have been trying to make sure I can fit into my gown, I have been overeating the past two weeks and the food I pick probably won’t be either nutritious or a lasting source of energy. Tired people tend to be particularly drawn to sugars and other simple carbohydrates, probably because the body is looking for a quick pick-me-up. When I ended work at 10pm one night, I jio-ed my makan kakis for an impromptu dinner/supper. Philip introduced us to a 24 hour bak Signature Dry Mee Sua (招牌干捞面线, $3) at Blk 409 Ang Mo Kio. Served with fishballs, minced meat, mushrooms and pork lard, the noodles are quite firm to the bite but not soggy. Even though I still prefer Yan Kee’s Bak Chor Mee Sua for their good quality vinegar and ikan bilis, this is a good supper spot in Ang Mo Kio. I like that that mee sua is well coated with chilli and lots of vinegar and was contemplating if I should get a second bowl. They call themselves San Yan Gourmet but for some reason, it is not shown in their signboard. But it’s quite easy to spot because they are one of the rare ones that are opened f0r 24 hours.

you are too frugal. at my current cash burn rate i will deplete my family fortune in 20 years barring inflation. with $2 noodle that may be extended by another 6.9 years, enough time to savor laksa mai hum in dying years.

 

[Brightkid]

This chain of noodle stall is franchise, I think. Many of them across neighbohood.

$2 a bowl of noodle soup. Not bad for the serving size and is nice to my no-frill taste too. Best part is it opens 24 hours!
