Song Kee Fishball Noodle

Song Kee Fishball Noodle:Making fishballs isn't easy.  "Yeah right, tell me something I don't know" I hear you say.  But I am actually telling you from personal experience.  Yes, I have tried to come up with a recipe for fishballs and so far, I haven't been very successful.  When I speak with fishball sellers, they all tell me that fishball is essentially, fishmeat (in Singapore Yellowtail fish is the most commonly used) that has been minced, mixed with a bit of salt and beaten.  You won't be able to produce that bouncy texture by just mincing it in a food processor.  In order to get the protein strands to unravel and align to produce that bounce, the paste has to be beaten. In the past, the hawkers used to use their hands to beat the fish paste until it gets to the right consistency.  So I thought I could easily beat fishballs at home.

nly $2.50, the noodles come with a generous serving of fishballs.

Serving fishball noodles with homemade fishballs made from pure yellowtail fish meat, this stall is located at Lorong 5 Toa Payoh Food Centre.

This stall deserves a mention because they make their fishballs by hand. There is always a queue for their noodles. Taste: 6.5/10. The noodles taste mediocre.

This was a nice find! Good al dente noodles with a surprise highlight - a kick-ass sambal chili sauce that lifted it beyond the plane of ordinary fishball noodles! The fishballs themselves are not as large and bouncy as I had hoped for but they sufficed. For S$2.50, you also get a piece of stuffed fried tofu that was quite tasty too.

The noodles taste mediocre. They were slightly overdone so it feels a bit too soft and slimy in my mouth. They use bit of ketchup in the dry version. I can’t fault this but personally I think it’s a lazy way to flavour noodles. Overall the noodles tastes good but low scores on noodle texture.
I can tell from the shape of the fishballs, they were hand made by scooping fishmeat with spoons. They tastes fresh and have a softer bite compared to factory fishballs. Factory fishballs tends to be salty, have a stronger fish taste and a firmer bite. But frankly I’m not a big fan of fishballs so I don’t think the difference matters much to me.
