Old Chai Chee Minced Meat Noodle

We note consistent praise for the rich, umami-laden broth, often compared to Japanese ramen, and the inclusion of tender dumplings.

Reviewers highlight the generous amount of mixed meats, slices, and minced pork that contribute to the soup's depth.

While some find the mee kia noodles can be overcooked and soggy, others describe them as al dente with a good springiness.

A common observation is the long queue, but many report that it moves quickly, with pre-orders taken while waiting.

However, one reviewer noted a 20-30 minute wait despite a seemingly short line, suggesting service can be slow at times.

The regular bowl is priced at $4, and a large at $5, making it an affordable option.

We'd advise caution with the chili padi, as it can be quite spicy.

Best for those who appreciate a robust, garlicky soup base and don't mind a potential wait.
