Mian Wang 1971 (面王一九七一) & The Original Kitchen is a noodle and curry rice stall located in a coffee shop below Block 537 in Bukit Batok, nearer to Bukit Gombak MRT Station. The stall specialises in Hokkien mee, since 1971.
Apart from serving Singapore-popular Hokkien mee, Mian Wang also has variants of the noodle dish paired with chicken cutlet, seafood or braised pork. There are curry rice sets too (in another menu to the side that is often overlooked).
The signature Hokkien Mee (面王福建面) has the typical two types of noodle stir-fried with prawns, shreds of pork belly meat, calamari, egg, and is topped with crispy fried pork lard, lime and sambal chilli. The savoury noodle dish is tasty with a nice wok hey flavour. A medium-size dish on a flat plate will look like a large-size portion.
The Salted Egg Calamari Hokkien Mee (咸蛋海鲜福建面) has Hokkien mee with deep-fried calamari rings in salted egg batter. When paired with salted egg calamari rings, the savoury Hokkien mee is cooked with lesser salt and is thus less salty — very thoughtful. The calamari rings are well-fried, can be easily cut using a spoon and no chewy texture. The flavour of salted egg is distinct and pairs well with the less-salty Hokkien mee. This dish is Mian Wang's hot-seller too.
Mian Wang's Hokkien mee are really delicious and I will try a different dish on every subsequent visit and their curry rice too.
