Used to be located in Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Walk (陈旭年文化街) since 1973, Sang Heng Noodles (甡兴茶餐室) moved to a newly-renovated shop in Permas Jaya, Masai, in August 2023. The restaurant has been serving old-taste Teochew fishball noodle and its specialty braised dishes since 1960.
Sang Heng's noodle dishes are customisable. Diners can choose the desired type of noodle, dish size, dry or soup version and the sauce to go with their fishball noodles. Any of the main ingredients on the noodle dish can also be added-on at extra charges.
A list of Teochew braised varieties (潮州卤料) are available as side-dishes, such as braised egg, beancurd, duck, pork belly, etc. Additional handmade fishballs can also be added with fishball soup (鱼圆汤), that comes in either 5 or 10 pieces per bowl, or fried (per piece).
The recommended style of the fishball noodle dish is with mee pok — dry-style, of course. This is the traditional style that has been served by Sang Heng since 1960. So, it is a must-try.
The dry-tossed mee pok is topped with fishballs, slices of fishcake, minced pork, shrimps, bean sprouts, crispy pork lard and garnished with chopped spring onions. A flavourful broth, used to cook the ingredients, is served in a separate bowl. The mee pok that Sang Heng used is unlike other mee pok that I have eaten before — it is much flatter, springier and easier to bite. This fishball mee pok is delicious.
Other than mee pok, mee kia (细面), or thin noodle, is another great option for dry-style noodle. It is similarly springy with a slight difference in texture.
The soup version of the Teochew noodle dish is served with the selected noodle in similar tasty broth with the same set of ingredients. Kway teow is best for soup version but other types of noodle can be used too. I love this too — Kway teow soup has always been my favourite.
Be it dry or soup version, Sang Heng's Teochew fishball noodles are really delicious.
One of the recommended braised varieties for add-on is the braised duck meat in dark sauce. The well-braised duck meat is tender, tasty and not too savoury. Apart from duck meat, there are duck neck, drumstick and wings as individual dishes as well.
The nicely-fried and savoury yam spring roll (芋头春卷) is a must-try too!
The pork spring roll (肉春卷) added with optional dark sauce gives the fried spring roll a braised flavour. Notably, the spring roll has a more solid meat texture compared to 5-spice spring roll (五香春卷).
There are a lot more of the braised varieties that can be added-on as side dishes with the noodle dishes to complete the meal.
