Feng Zhen Lor Mee 鳳珍鹵麵 – Famous Lor Mee At Taman Jurong Food Centre With Daily Long Queue

I am a big fan of lor mee – there’s just something about the combination of yellow noodles and thick luscious gravy that I love. I recently got to check out the famous Feng Zhen Lor Mee at Taman Jurong Food Centre. Note that there is another identically-named stall located at Yew Tee – both stalls are run by the same family. This article was last updated on 19 July 2020.

Feng Zhen Lor Mee is an old-school lor mee stall located at Taman Jurong Food Centre.

Westies will be familiar with this stall. It sees long queues every day and the noodles are often sold out even before closing time.

The stall is run by Madam Teo and her mother. It was originally based at Jurong West Blk 503 for 37 years, before moving to Taman Jurong Food Centre in 2006.

Subsequently, Madam Teo opened another branch at Yew Tee with her husband and eldest son.

The key difference between the two branches’ lor mee is that the Taman Jurong version comes with flaky fish meat instead of fried fish.

As for whether the “Taman Jurong” or “Yew Tee” lor mee tastes better, I can’t comment because I’ve not tried the Yew Tee one before.

I visited the Taman Jurong branch on a weekday at 12.45pm and there was a long queue of around 20 people. I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to get my lor mee.

When it was finally my turn to order, the staff was very polite and even apologised for the long wait. No wonder there are so many positive reviews about their good service.

Menu

The most popular dish here is of course the Lor Mee, which goes for $3, $4, and $5. I highly recommend ordering the $4 or $5 portion, because they come with the delicious flaky fish meat.

Other than lor mee, the stall also sells Prawn Mee ($3), Laksa ($3), Fishball Mee ($3), Fishball Noodles ($3), Prawn Rolls ($4), and Dumplings ($4).

Lor Mee ($4)

My sumptuous bowl of Lor Mee ($4) came with generous toppings of pork belly, fish cakes, fried pork balls, flaky fish meat, and a braised egg. For just $4, this was really good value!

Surprisingly, the lor mee also came with salted fish, which I had not seen being mentioned in other food blogs before. Perhaps this was a new addition?

Remember to add minced garlic, vinegar and chilli – these are essential condiments for lor mee.

After trying the lor mee, I can understand why there is so much hype around it.

The gravy was savoury and luscious, but not overly thick. The yellow noodles had good bite and it was really satisfying to slurp them up with the gravy.

The fried meatballs were chunks of perfection: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I like eating fish so I really enjoyed the tender and flaky Batang fish meat. The chewy salted fish was very tasty too and added an extra dimension to the lor mee.

Overall this was quite a satisfying bowl of lor mee!

Conclusion

If you happen to be in the area, make sure you check out Feng Zhen Lor Mee at Taman Jurong Food Centre – it will be well-worth your visit. If possible, visit during off peak hours to avoid the long queue. I am curious if the Yew Tee branch’s lor mee tastes equally good and will be checking it out soon.
