$5 for a small plate of fried Hokkien Mee. How does it taste? In a word, salty. Beyond that, there is nothing—no depth, no umami, no flavor to savor. With the first bite, my heart sank. The pork lard was also not fresh. It's a quiet kind of heartbreak to part with $5 and receive only disappointment in return. And if I finish it, it would be a waste of calorie intake.
