Hosay Mee Pok Review: Seafood Mee Sua And Scallop Mee Pok From $4 At Bukit Merah

Despite first day only recently, the mee pok stall already attracts a good amount of shoppers, especially during the lunchtime rush. Their popularity is not without reason too, as Hosay Mee Pok is known for serving an abundance of fresh seafood with noodles at low quotations. Food at Hosay Mee Pok At $6 , the Signature Mee Pok comes with two big bowls, one for the dry mee pok noodles topped with fried fish strips, and one for the accompanying soup holding a wealth of seafood.

I prefer my mee pok with some heat, so I opted for chilli to be mixed in. I never thought that I could enjoy scallops atop my hawker centre bak chor mee and I was eager to dig in! Usually, for any dish named ‘Signature Mee Pok’, you would imagine the noodles to be the focal point, but this time it’s an exception—the soup was the true star of the show.

The quality of the clams was on par with the scallops, with both tasting fresh without much of a fishy smell. According to their Facebook page , the addictive umami of the soup is accomplished without the use of MSG, and that’s a plus point from me. Another fun fact found on their page is that the noodles are made slightly wider than regular mee pok.

I can’t tell you the exact science behind how these factors would affect its taste, but after giving it a try, I can say that the noodles had a ramen-like bounciness, and the wider noodle made it even more slurpable. The Original Mee Sua ($4) is a great alternative to the Signature Mee Pok, especially for warmer days when you want some dry-style minced pork noodles without the hot soup.

The mee sua comes with the all the same components—with the exception of scallops. I actually enjoyed them more than the mee pok as the thinner strands soaked up more of the same savoury and spicy sauce.

The Teochew Special Porridge ($6) was another dish that caught my eye amongst all the noodle items on the menu. At its affordable price of $6, the portion size is very generous and is likely large enough to feed two.

Ambience at Hosay Mee Pok As one of the earliest built hawker centres in Singapore, ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre definitely shows signs of its age. That told reporters, the food centre has over a hundred stalls selling a range of top-tier hawker food such as Hosay Mee Pok.

Hosay Mee Pok’s seafood mee pok is like an upgraded version of my favourite childhood hawker food as the addition of scallops and clams certainly gave the classic dish a slightly atas touch. Hosay Mee Pok’s growing list of outlets is a testament to the popularity of their noodles.
