Chung Cheng Review: $3 Chilli Mee You Cannot Find Anywhere Else In Singapore

But there’s no way you can savour and enjoy such dishes since the extreme level of spiciness is full-on torture for your taste buds. I want to be able to enjoy that good kick of spice without having my tongue dying halfway into my meal or camp in the toilet the next morning.

Chung Cheng ‘s iconic chill mee, mentioned in this year’s Michelin Guide , proves it is possible to get the best of both worlds: a friendly fire without the torture. Chung Cheng - One And Only Chilli Mee At Golden Mile Food Centre Chilli mee at Chung Cheng All noodles here are priced at $3, $4 or $5.

I got the largest bowl of Chilli Mee ($5) and a medium bowl of Pork Rib Prawn Mee Soup ($4) . Right after the noodles and ingredients were cooked, a huge spoonful of Chung Cheng’s signature chilli sauce was topped over it.

In other words, it has all the ingredients in laksa and prawn mee. The lean pork rib was soft and incredibly savoury, with an aftertaste of five-spice powder that reminded me of Chinese herbal soup.

Mix your noodles well since you don’t want to eat a blob of chilli paste by itself – suicide in a spicy challenge. I usually choose bee hoon over yellow mee, but when it comes to dry tossed noodles, yellow mee complements the flavour of sauces and pastes way better. Savoury and spicy with a hint of prawn paste, it tasted like a hybrid of curry and the sambal you’d add to laksa broth.

It wasn’t spicy to the point that I had to gulp litres of water, but the spiciness did wake me up. But don’t worry, it comes with a small bowl of prawn mee soup to help tame the burn. My favourite elements from the riot of components would be the prawns.

After putting my taste buds through all that chilli, it’s time for something more soothing – Pork Rib Prawn Mee Soup. It was light yet loaded with the sweetness of prawn, umami of pork rib and a light herbal aftertaste.
