Ah Hock Fried Hokkien Noodles
Ah Hock Fried Hokkien Mee has a rich seafood flavor, as the prawns and squid soak up the savory gravy when stir-fried with other ingredients. A noteworthy mention is that they use pork stock instead of pork strips, bellies, or lard.
This caters to both seafood lovers and those who prefer not to consume pork fat, as the pork stock is reduced to a gravy that coats the thin bee hoon noodles with a layer of savouriness that is not too jelak. It’s important to note that chopped chilli is served here instead of sambal but their version of hokkien mee is one of our go to when we are in the vicinity.
