I mee-s it

Yesterday, Mark and I tried "Orchard Road," the Singaporean fast food place in Megamall. It's been open for a few months now and the interiors are snazzy and inviting. Plus, I've seen a number of my favorites on their menu, so I was actually excited to finally eat there.

I ordered my all-time favorite Singaporean noodle dish - Prawn Mee.



And yes, it was an utter disaster! The soup lukewarm, and it wasn't spicy at all. The fish cake was rubbery and the prawns weren't succulent. And to top it all off, the noodles were soggy!

It's such a far cry from my favorite prawn mee in Wan Chai. And after eating that lackluster bowl from Orchard Road, I'm now craving for the Wan Chai version. I wish there were more mee shops here in Manila.
