Followed up with their fishball noodles, we take on Orh Kee Noodles’ hand made meatball noodles, and find out how it tasted.
Same unique and practical packaging, noodles were kept separated from the soup in a single bowl. Sadly, noodles were dried out and became a mushy cake. A splash of soup did awaken the noodles, but to a certain extent. You just can’t beat having a noodles right at the stall.
Chili was mediocre, slight hint of vinegar, with simple sauce concoction, which was good enough for a simple meal. The bulk of their draw was definitely their soup, which had 6 small sized meatballs. Soft yet packs a bite, definitely wins hands down to any factory made meatballs. Soup was full of minced meat bits, sweet and tasty.
It cost $6.50, 60 cents more than their fishball noodles version. Although tasted mediocre, Orh Kee noodles were filling and leaving us feeling satisfied.
As dining in is still prohibited and we are left with no choice but to take away or depend on delivery, delivery services stands to benefit from it all. No doubt they need to earn from each order, but consumers are already paying for delivery charge, which goes to the delivery person. On top of that, there are marked up prices for all items. On one hand we are told to support hawkers. On the other, prices are increased at such rates, would it encourage or deter consumers from supporting hawkers? For a bowl of noodles that is usually $3.50 to $4, to be increased to $5 to $6.50, is perhaps greed on the delivery service part?
Hence, let’s all mask up! Head down to your neighbourhood hawkers and pack to save some cash. ^^
