Transported to food courts in Singapore. When I walked into Mekong Plaza, the shops and food aromas of Asia flooded in. I was strangely at home. I was craving Taiwanese beef noodle. Thanks to Genie Yelper Karen W., she granted my first wish this Spring Break. Heng's Kitchen joins other indoor food court stalls in Mekong Plaza. I perused through the menu and decided quickly on #38 Spicy Beef Noodles. Alert: This soup packs a punch. The broth goes down easy but the heat comes on like a flash from the back. The tendon and round cuts of meat were tender and flavorful. The soup was fairly robust. It was packed full of spinach and other vegetables, but my favorite topping was the pickled greens. Was it the best I've had, the soup could have been a little more well developed, but it certainly hit the spot and satiated my craving.
Karen had the Szechuan fish with rice. I enjoyed it. It was nice to see HK deliver different flavors and textures in their dishes.
Price tag: A large portion of noodles for slightly under $8. I even brought home some of the broth that I could not finish. I will be back for more.
