What caught my attention at this stall (90 Whampoa Drive #01-32) was the line. Not so much the length of the line, but the way that it operated. Instead of extending from the front of the stall, it started at the side of the stall where the lady stood up high on a stool. She took orders in batches (presumably since they cook that way) by yelling down the walkway perhaps all the way to the tenth person in line, who had to yell back their orders, possibly in conjunction with hand signals to make clear the dollar value of the serving size that one wanted.
The line went pretty quickly, and the food was good too. There was a garlic aroma, but was soft and rounded. There was a goopy (in a good way) and savory gravy coating the noodles, some of which were broken into fragments. It was garnished with not just a chili sauce but also raw chili slices, both of which were pronounced but not overwhelming either. Basically, it was very well-balanced, which was what made it good. I still have a better impression of Yi Sheng, but this place was so much faster, which means that I'll come back.
