GO Noodle House 313 Somerset Pan Mee

GO Noodle House at 313 Somerset brings a touch of Malaysian comfort food to the heart of Singapore, specializing in a unique ban mian experience that's hard to find elsewhere on the island.

As a franchise, GO Noodle House has its own distinctive flair, elevating the traditional ban mian dish with copious amounts of huadiao wine infused into the broth. This adds depth and complexity to each bowl, enhancing the overall flavor profile. What sets them apart is the ability to customize your bowl with premium ingredients like beef slices, pork balls, and even abalone, allowing patrons to tailor their meal to their preferences.

The star of the show here is the fish bone broth, prepared using a master stock steeped with over 40 types of fish bones, including tenggiri or mackerel. This stock, kept under lock and key behind a fireproof wall in Shah Alam, Malaysia, is transported in frozen blocks to ensure freshness and quality.

At GO Noodle House, you have the option of the 'superior soup' or 'homemade spicy soup' paired with silky mixian or fine bee hoon. For those who appreciate the classic flavors of ban mian, the original superior soup with mixian is highly recommended, especially with the addition of huadiao wine.

While the tear version of pan mee isn't available in Singapore, the meatballs and condiments are above average, reflecting the quality expected at GO Noodle House.

Overall, I would rate the dining experience a 3.5 out of 5. The cozy atmosphere at 313 Somerset adds to the enjoyment of the meal, reminiscent of the authentic sweat-inducing eateries in Kuala Lumpur that specialize in this dish. For Singaporeans craving a taste of Malaysian comfort food, GO Noodle House is indeed a beacon of hope, especially for ban mian enthusiasts looking for a unique and flavorful dining experience.
