Was excited to see a reputable HKM stall opening in the west. Ordered a $9.90 portion. But must say quite a disappointment. Base is the wet type I like, but dilute and lack of punch, esp till the end. Pork belly got some unpleasant pork taste. 3.5 prawns. Last one half the size of the bigger one. Normal crunch for the prawns. Sotong one mouth and a bit .. gone le. Noodles portion ok. But the noodles so short, till it just slips on the chopsticks so easily. Like no need to use chopsticks kind. Quite tedious to eat. Something that's quite dismay is that for $9.90, the fried pork lard is like a few pieces. Then I asked $9.90 portion so few fried pork lard, lady said cannot too much. When the Guy who cooked served also fried pork like serve a few pieces. Likely SOP. There's a crunch in the fried pork lard but not most fresh and crunchy. Some bits burnt too. Too much social media hype, till I auto prompt myself to come quickly during off peak. Service and experience quite poor. CP value low. Ong ... why are u so far away. This taste is v slightly better than 328 Clementi. But service attitude of 328 is way better. Ask for fried pork lard, auto give one table spoon or one soup spoon full. Not 2-3 fray cubes. Overall, eat Ann Chin popiah in Clementi is a better option.
