This popular Hokkien style Lor Mee at Old Airport Road Food Centre has been around since 1973 before opening an outlet at Balestier followed by the third outlet at Holland Drive just recently.
The Balestier outlet is an air-conditioned restaurant with 80 seats serving the same menu but most of the choices are priced slightly higher. This outlet is in collaboration with a few others. The queue was as long as the one at Old Airport Road Food Centre when it opened on 5 August 2021.
There are choices of flat yellow noodles, egg noodles, bee hoon, and also, kway teow serving with their signature gravy that is based on their traditional recipe with ingredients like shredded fish meat, braised meat, braised egg, coriander, and beansprouts. The gravy is thick, groovy, and not as starchy with the vinegar, chilli, and minced garlic that enhanced its flavor further.
This is still one of the better choices for Lor Mee, my kind of comfort food.
