Ah Gong Ban Mian

"The ikan bilis was spoiled. It smelled and tasted like dead rat. The tom yum was more like ketchup soup. The stall was also very dirty; the hanging signs were super dusty. It wasn't exactly cheap for this level of quality. I won't be back."

I stopped by around 5:45 PM on a Monday evening, expecting a decent meal at a reasonable price. However, I was quite disappointed. Even the cheapest items on the menu were priced at $3.50 for numbers 1 and 2, which isn't exactly budget-friendly, especially considering what I received. The portion was shockingly small, barely enough to satisfy a light appetite, and to make matters worse, it lacked any real flavor. It’s quite frustrating to pay that amount and walk away still hungry and unsatisfied. If you’re going to charge $3.50, at the very least, the portion size and taste should match the price.

This was the first time I ate dry ban mian here. It looked appetising in the picture, but the first bite was disappointing. The taste was bland, as if the owner forgot to add light soy sauce. Overall, the ban mian was tasteless, but I still had to finish it to avoid wasting my money. This will be the first and last time I eat ban mian there. The place is noisy and crowded, even at 11 a.m., and finding a seat takes time.

$4.80 for this bowl of 伊面. Service is rather slow, but there's only one cook and one cashier. Food takes time to cook, so yeah. The soup tasted okay, but the ingredients were very few. The chye sim veggie they used for the noodle was older than my grandma; every chew was a fibrous strand which I couldn't swallow. Not very happy with it, to be honest. Not sure if I will patronize them anytime soon. At least for now, that's what I think. The atmosphere is an indoor hawker center. Nothing much to talk about. Lunchtime can be crowded.
