For this episode, we headed to TamJai SamGor Mixian to demolish a MASSIVE 6KG Spicy Mala Noodles Bowl! TamJai SamGor serves authentic mixian (rice noodles) and is located at Bedok Mall, Chinatown Point and Vivocity. A chain originating from Hong Kong and even awarded Bib Gourmand in Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau, TamJai SamGor offers customisable mixian and Guo Qiao with 16 toppings in it. You get to choose your soup base - bestsellers being the Ma La Soup and the Wu La (charred pepper) Soup.
For my challenge, I opted for the Wu La Soup with 1/10 Mild and loaded it up with most of their toppings such as pork, chicken, fishballs, pork liver, pork belly, tofu puffs, beancurd skin, beef, lettuce and beansprouts. The base was a hefty 5 servings of rice noodles and the entire bowl was filled with Wu La Soup. Note that there are 10 levels of spiciness you can choose for your soup.
The broth was reminiscent of a Bak Kut Teh broth crossed with a Thai Boat Noodles broth. It was rich and peppery. The noodles were exceptional, firm, bouncy and still giving bite even after sitting in the broth for a long time. They soaked up the broth wonderfully. For the toppings, I especially enjoyed the pork belly, which were filled with flavour from the fattiness and had some chewiness to them, and the cuttlefish balls, which were firm and bouncy with a good amount of meat in them. Apart from the toppings shared in the video, I have also shortlisted pig stomach, bamboo fungus and tail-on shrimp as my pick to be sold in TamJai SamGor.
It started raining just as filming began, which made me realise that Guo Qiao is perfect for a such a day, warm and comforting while its cold and rainy outside. Each Guo Qiao also comes with minced pork and pickled vegetables. Note that the pork is on the sweet side which actually works well to cool the heat from the soup.
I completed this challenge in 28 minutes, a good start after my food poisoning incident. It was an enjoyable challenge, basically a hearty, warming bowl of soup that reminds you of home. TamJai SamGor also offers sides dishes and I tried their TuFei Chicken Mid-Wings, which were tender and heavily spiced with a cumin mixture. Do head down to TamJai SamGor to enjoy a wholesome bowl of noodle soup, especially on a rainy day!
