Fishball Noodles

Fishball noodles is a favourite among locals in Singapore, it commonly comprises  of  “Mee Pok”, a Chinese noodle characterized by its flat and yellow appearance served with toppings of fish balls, sliced fish cakes, minced meat, meat balls and lettuces or beansprouts.

Found in most hawker centres, fishball noodles are one of Singapore’s best as it has been served for many generations but yet many people still enjoy eating it. I eat it every week in Chinatown when I go marketing with my parents but I still do not get bored of it and still like the taste of it. The fishball mee pok there has just enough sauce and chili to give the mee pok a nice taste, the fishballs have a nice springy and smooth texture while the mee pok was not too soggy or undercooked. The portions are also quite generous with enough to fill your stomach but would not make you feel bloated.

It reflects a unique Singapore spirit as fishball noodles has been served for many years but the newer generation still likes eating it. This shows that the newer generation still respect things of the past and do not think that they are old and obsolete but instead still think they are important.

I am grateful for fishball noodles as it gives me something that is not too expensive and delicious when I am hungry and it is also available almost everywhere. It is also one of my favourite local delights.
