Qiu Lian Ban Mian

Back then when I was still in RJ, I frequented the S11 foodcourt really often as it was just a stone’s throw away from my campus. Ban Mian has always been one of my comfort foods, and Qiu Lian’s rendition of it is simply irresistible. Yes, perhaps it is hard to go wrong when making Ban Mian since one only needs to pour soup + noodles + meat, but it is in reality, a deceptively easy dish to make. Without the right mix of minced pork balls, dried onions, condiments etc, a bowl of Ban Mian would be less satisfying than it ought to be. Qiu Lian Ban Mian’s noodles are of a consistent texture, which is nice to bite into. The soup comes to you piping hot, so you can stir in that runny egg white + yolk. Best still, they give a generous serving of ikan bilis and dried shallots.
