This may be the best stall in the world, but it has a really bad attitude. All I did was ask if I missed my order. The cook didn't have to make a sour face and roll his eyes at me. I will not patronise this stall again. Life is too short!

Amazing claypot taste in the broth that is unlike any other soup. The meat slices are very tender and went well with the firm mee hoon kuay. Mee hoon kuay is thick but not floury in taste, and the meatballs seem handmade. The flavours are very satisfying and comforting.

The soup is nice, and the staff is quick to serve. Additional anchovies are pricy for the additional cost.

The soup has a wok hey taste. I don’t know how they create that taste in a soup, but it’s great. It may be a bit heavy if you don’t like rich soup. I suspect they don’t give a full egg per bowl as shown in the pictures.

After ordering, you are given a beeper and will have to wait quite a while. I waited about 15-20 minutes on a Sunday after 1 PM. As mentioned by other reviews, there's truly an invisible long queue.
My dish was cooked well. The soup was not bad, and I didn't feel very thirsty afterwards. The portion was smaller than preferred. I saw the chef adding only two stalks of vegetables to each bowl. The chili was not bad, on the sour side. It was good enough for me to return during non-peak times.

Staff are cold and seem uninterested in working.
My mhk pork slices came pink; staff brushed off my concerns.
I think it's reasonable for most people to be concerned about being served pink pork.
Used to love the brand. What a shame.

A Pleasant Surprise at Jiak Song Mee Hoon Kway, Bukit Panjang
After being bombarded with negative reviews, I was curious to try Jiak Song Mee Hoon Kway for myself. I visited this eatery on two separate occasions, and my experience was far from disappointing.
Their Signature Mee Hoon Kway, loaded with minced pork, pork slices, pork balls, and shrimp balls, exceeded expectations. The noodles were delightfully springy, while the white pork and meatballs were tender and expertly marinated. The flavorful soup, accompanied by an egg and vegetables, made for a satisfying meal. Considering the price, I found it remarkably reasonable.
However, there's room for improvement in presentation. Given the numerous celebrity endorsements, I expected a more polished visual appeal. Consistency in plating would elevate their dining experience.
Despite this, Jiak Song Mee Hoon Kway won me over with its delicious food and value. I'd recommend giving it a try, despite the negative reviews. Sometimes, taste truly is subjective.

Really enjoy the soup, but this year, I feel like there’s less wok hey taste than when I first started eating here.

I tried the soup and dry mee hoon kueh, and both had the wok hey fragrance, which I love! The texture of the noodles was really good too, making it one of my go-tos! However, the portion for the dry version was a little small compared to the soup version.

Came down to get takeaway for Tom Yum Ban Mian and Bak Chor Mee on Sunday at 7:54 PM. Ordered Ban Mian from a large Chinese lady serving the stall first, as there was no queue. I came back to collect and was given a "stink face/black face" by the large Chinese lady when I mentioned I wanted takeaway, with a reply in Mandarin: "If you had said takeaway earlier, I would have packed it for takeaway." I replied, "Errr...could you help me pack it for takeaway, please?" Continued stink face. In my haste to get back to my pregnant wife, I gave the benefit of the doubt to the staff that I may have missed saying it was for takeaway and didn't challenge her.
Brought it home and shared it with my wife - the soup was extremely salty. Don't get me wrong. I have been buying Jiak Song Mee Hoon Kueh for at least 3 years since the original stall at Choa Chu Kang opened.
I don't mind the bad attitude, but salty food AND Bad attitude - go swallow your own soup, suck on your own Ban Mian.
I can cook better Tom Yum than you with just Maggie Mee.
