Yam Mee Teochew Fishball Mee is a popular stall in Kovan and Bedok 

Fishball mee is one of the good ol’ local dishes you can find in almost every hawker centre. Take Kovan Market & Food Centre, for instance. There are at least three stalls selling minced meat noodles here, but Yam Mee Teochew Fishball Mee is arguably the most popular.

The third-generation hawker stall, which has been around since the 1970s, has drawn consistent long queues every single day. Customers wait for up to 30 minutes to get their bowl of noodles here, so as we stood in line, our expectations grew. Let’s see if the food lives up to them.
