"What a waste of money. The mushrooms were sour, and I think they spammed the chili to mask the odor. Worst bowl of bak chor mee ever."

Ming Fa Fishball represents a remarkable third-generation family legacy that began with a humble pushcart in Chinatown's alleyways in 1946. Founded by Lim Chye Kang, this beloved establishment has evolved from a single pushcart operation to thirteen outlets across Singapore, with the Our Tampines Hub location at #01-73 serving as a testament to over 70 years of fishball-making excellence.Operating daily from 7am to 10pm, Ming Fa specializes in authentic Fuzhou fishballs that are handcrafted daily using fish as the primary ingredient. Their signature Fuzhou fishballs feature a unique minced pork filling encased in an exceptionally tender and smooth fishball coating, representing traditional craftsmanship that has been preserved across generations.
The menu highlights include their famous Fishball Noodles served dry with springy meepok cooked to al dente perfection, enhanced with crispy pork lard, vinegar, and chili. The Mini Wok Noodles stand out as a menu favorite, packed with ingredients that contribute their flavors to create a rich, satisfying broth experience.
While maintaining traditional preparation methods, Ming Fa has modernized their operations with semi-automated processes while ensuring their fishballs remain made fresh daily. The menu has expanded beyond traditional offerings to include popular Singapore street foods like minced pork noodles, laksa, and curry chicken, catering to diverse tastes while preserving their core identity.
With convenient delivery options through Foodpanda and a prime location within Our Tampines Hub hawker centre, Ming Fa continues to serve both longtime customers and new generations who appreciate authentic, quality fishball noodles that represent the best of Singapore's hawker heritage.

"Very rude workers. I bought dried kway teow and went back to request a little more chili paste and vinegar. Both workers showed irritation and displeasure and told me rudely to wait. They gave me a big scoop of vinegar, which I later had to throw some away. My son, who had also bought from them before this incident, said he was also treated with irritation. When he asked if he should start paying, he didn't get a reply, so he thought maybe they couldn't hear him and repeated the question. Again, he was ignored. So he went ahead to scan the payment, and then he was told very rudely to wait. Worst stall to end the day with."

"Don't be fooled by the long queue; it's only because the food service is slow. The egg yolk and mushroom tasted sour, as if they were a few days old. I also found a piece of black porcelain in my bowl. It was a terrible experience after queuing for more than 15 minutes."
Ben Khoo
One of the worst noodle dishes I've ever had. Bland and tasteless. The noodles were all soggy.
Viknesh Tan
Reviews mention bad service due to the uncle's attitude, but this is a hawker centre, not a restaurant! So, in my opinion, it's perfectly acceptable to have less-than-stellar service. In fact, if a stall can survive with bad service, it likely means the food is extremely good. However, my one-star rating isn't because of the uncle's bad attitude, which I also experienced like other patrons. It's because of the food. The dry fish ball noodles I ordered were very overcooked and turned soggy. They also had an overly strong noodle taste that even the chili and seasoning sauces couldn't cover. Fish ball noodles are one of the hardest dishes to mess up, and this stall managed to achieve that. Hence, this will definitely be my first and last time visiting. I'm giving it one star because, even at a cheap $2.80 for a bowl of noodles, it's hard to find something this bad today.

"They have nice fishball noodles, with a variety of options including mushrooms and meatballs. You can also buy side dishes like ngoh hiang and deep-fried wontons."
Choo Jia En
"Delicious and satisfying meal! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the fish balls and fish cakes were fresh and flavorful. Great value for money at Our Tampines Hub Hawker Centre. Highly recommended!"
Jonathan Wee
"I tried their signature noodles (招牌面). The pork slices were tender and didn't have the usual porky smell. The soft-boiled egg was tasty, but not overly salty. The fried dumplings were soggy by the time I got home, but I'm guessing they would be crispy if eaten there."
Xin Ying
"The quality is decent for the price. It cost $3.80 for one bowl of fish ball noodles, and there's a 30-cent surcharge for takeaway."
