Openedduring the pandemic in November 2020, this brand has quickly established itself as being among the best in Singapore. Renowned for offering both Chinese Teochew and Chinese Hainanese versions, and specialising in offering uncommon beef cuts, each bowl is a delight.
.
The base of slippery thick bee hoon / rice vermicelli noodles, crunchy pickled mustard greens, and crisp bean sprouts, pair well with both soup and dry versions, complementing with mild grainy vegetal sour sweet flavour. The lean beef slices, beef stomach tripe, beef meat balls, beef brisket, and minced beef rolls, are tender with a light chew to texture, carrying lovely meaty sweet savoury salty herbal flavour.
.
Their soup is light yet rich, simmered with bay leaves, angelica root, white pepper, cinnamon, and other spices, for over 6 hours, giving it a lovely meaty sweet herbal flavour that isn't overly salty. Similarly, their gravy is thick but not heavy or gloopy, with enticing notes that don't overwhelm the palate.
.
Some chincalok / fermented shrimp paste with shallots and lime juice complete, lending a crisp texture and bright tangy shrimpy salty sour spice flavour.

Mixing traditional Teochew flavours and giving a modern twist, @horiginal_beefnoodle is a hawker stall that offers a wide variety of beef noodles and soup, topped with ingredients like sliced beef, tripe, brisket, ball, tendon and even oxtail. You can also choose your desired noodles, served in 3 different styles: Dry, Soup or with Gravy!?
The first thing that struck me was the huge portion size, we couldn't finish either bowl of our noodles ? And no, it is no because it did not taste good but there was simply too many ingredients and too much noodles, a happy problem to have if you ask me. I actually preferred the Gravy version over the Dry one because the noodles really soaked up the essence of the gravy, giving every mouthful a strong beefy flavour. The dry stir was pretty good too, perfect if you are not a fan of dishes with a robust beef flavour. The soup that was served alongside the dry-stir was packed with flavour too, a perfect companion for the dry noodles.
