Sheng Ji Fish Ball Noodle
Nestled in the heart of the Bukit Merah (Henderson) neighbourhood, Sheng Ji fishball noodle is a culinary gem that resonates with the simple joys of life. Here, the art of old-school noodle making is celebrated, where each bowl is a harmonious blend of tradition and taste.
This stall, a humble establishment, brings to the table a beautiful symphony of textures and tastes that are reminiscent of the old-school style, a style that resonates deeply with many of us. While they don't craft their own fishballs, meatballs, or fishcake, the magic lies in their mastery of blending these ingredients into a culinary experience that speaks of tradition and familiarity.
Fresh pork slices and minced pork are blanched and join the fishballs, meatballs, and fish cake slices in a dance of flavours. The noodles, tossed in a tantalizing mix of lard, chili, and black vinegar, become the perfect canvas for these flavours to shine. A sprinkle of fried pork lard, that bursts with oil and flavour, adds a rich depth that is hard to resist.
The beauty of Sheng Ji's offering lies in its balance. No single component tries to outshine the other. Instead, they work in harmony, creating a taste that can only be described as authentically old-school. It is a testament to the skill and dedication of the people behind the counter – the husband and wife team, often assisted by their daughter, working in unison on two stoves to keep up with the perpetual queue, which is a testament to the popularity of their craft.
In a world where culinary complexity often takes centre stage, Sheng Ji stands out for its simplicity and soulfulness. It is a reminder that sometimes, happiness can be found in a humble bowl of noodles, where every ingredient comes together to tell a story of tradition, family, and the simple pleasures of life.
