Nanyang Lor Mee — codfish lor mee ($6.50)!
Nanyang Lor Mee at Chinatown — premium codfish lor mee with crispy fried codfish slices, braised egg, ngoh hiang, dark thick gravy, coriander. $6.50.
Lunch — Nanyang Lor Mee codfish version at $6.50, Chinatown. The premium codfish upgrade. 😋
What was in the bowl ($6.50):
- Dark thick lor mee gravy as the base.
- Crispy fried codfish slices arranged radially — the premium upgrade vs standard fried fish.
- Half braised egg in the centre.
- Ngoh hiang slices (Chinese five-spice fried meat roll).
- Chopped coriander + scallions garnish.
- Yellow noodles hidden under the gravy.
Codfish vs the standard batang/dory in lor mee = the premium swap. Cod is sweeter + flakier + more delicate. Most lor mee stalls use cheaper white fish — Nanyang specifically uses codfish as the differentiator.
Overall: 4.1 / 5. Cod was sweeter than usual lor mee fish, gravy had proper thickness, braised egg + ngoh hiang were the classic supporting cast. Premium lor mee execution at $6.50. 😋👍🏼
