Never have I come across old Japanese men patronising any local Hokkien Mee stall until just now .
The soup though teeming with rich prawn flavour is so much more oilier than other versions of Hokkien Mee on the island , that it looks so wrong but of course it tastes so darned good lah otherwise why you think the Japanese would eat it , no ?
Even then , notwithstanding the fact that I am one of his fans , I was still very surprised to see with my own four eyes that Ah Soon Kor has managed to snare at least one foreigner in his apron .
You try his noodles once and you simply never forget the taste for the rest of your life. It registers inside your head and gets locked into a non deletable gourmet file .
Then when you finally come back and sit down , the effect is like a homecoming , like something Daddy cooked . So satisfying .
And I hope that explains why Ah Soon Kor has an extremely loyal fanbase .
It's incredibly unique .
That's the maestro . Not that he wanted to move out of Sin Kim San where he fed the breakfast crowd to kingdom come . More like he had to move out .
So go support him and get chatty with him . He's got no bad bones in him and loves all his customers like they were all part of his family .
