Qiu Lian Ban Mian 秋莲版面, T3 Basement 2 Food Court – 2nd Visit

Qiu Lian handmade noodles 秋莲版面is still the best..

This time, we ordered handmade flat noodle (Ban Mian - 版面) and Ah Ma Mee Hoon Kueh (阿嬤面粉果).

1. Ban Mian (版面) – 7/10
The noodles were boarder and the strips were regular. It is not exactly true that it was handmade. It could be made using hand-operated machine or pre-made in a factory before they were delivered to the stalls.

This bowl was without minced pork. This soup base without the minced pork did not taste as good as the original one with minced pork added. The latter was more flavourful than the former.


2. Ah Ma Mee Hoon Kueh (阿嬤面粉果) – 8/10
This special bowl consisted of Mee Hoon and handmade Mee Hoon Kuehs. Can you see the thick, yellowish and irregular shape of the Mee Hoon Kuehs? This could be handmade. The starch dough was added with some kind of minced vegetable or herbs before they were shaped into small pieces of kuehs.


This was our after meal dessert - Ice Red Bean and Sweet Corn with Evaporated Milk. It was very sweet and yummy.

My favourite Qiu Lian handmade noodles, 秋莲版面..

I tried many handmade noodles from different stalls but still find Qiu Lian Ban Mian is the best and tastier among those which I have tried.

It was dinner time and the queue at the Changi Airport Qiu Lian Ban Mian stall was getting longer. Luckily, I have already bought mine.


This is the standard Qiu Lian Mee Hoon Kueh (面粉果) in soup. It consisted of Mee Hoon Kueh (squared), minced pork, Ikan Bilis (Anchovies), green vegetable, and fried onion slice that added fragrant & flavour to the soup.

Verdict: 8/10


This bowl of Mee Hoon Kueh looks very big, isn’t it? Actually, the portion was just nice for a person’s meal. The portion looked huge could be because of the soup. I supposed more soups are used to cook the mee hoon kueh to prevent the soup becoming too thick and chalky.

The soup was slightly sweet and not salty. I believe not much MSG was added as the latter will make one become thirsty easily and this did not happen to me. The minced pork was pre-marinated before it was added to the soup. It tasted a little salty but I like the taste. I would have given it 9/10 if minced lean pork was used instead of fatty pork.
