If you prefer dry to soup noodles, there’s the Malacca Hu Kiao Noodle ($4.50), starring a generous amount of pork slices and fish cake. To cut through the greasiness of the Pork Lard Noodles, get a bowl of the Pork Meat Ball Soup ($3) that’s said to be light on the palate.  

You can also find the classic, flavour-packed Fishball Noodle ($3.80) here that comes with pork lard, fish cake, and fried beancurd slices!

If you prefer some light bites instead, try their Fried Beancurd with Fish Paste ($2), Fried Nogh Hiong ($1.80), or Fried Large Fish Cake ($1.80), all perfect for sharing or having on the go.
