"Bitter Almond" Hokkien Mee?!

This stall's hokkien mee is not too bad. Tried it recently after researching about food in Toa Payoh (which I've just moved to). But the thing that struck me was the hint of almond in the dish!

I'm not sure if it's actually almonds being used as one of the ingredients, or it's other 'secret' ingredients with similar flavour chemicals as almond. (Eg, basmati rice and pandan leaf)

But I must say, almond and prawns present a surprisingly pleasant pairing. Worth a try!

Location: Blk 127, Toa Payoh Lorong 1. 2nd storey hawker centre above the wet market.
Store Name: 'tian tian lai' (literally come daily in mandarin)
