Michelin Plate lor mee at Old Airport Road, known for its starchy vinegary gravy and century egg.
Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee at Old Airport Road Food Centre serves one of Singapore's most talked-about bowls of lor mee, earning a Michelin Plate and the People's Choice award in 2018. The gravy is thick, starchy and unabashedly vinegary, coating yellow noodles alongside ngoh hiang, fried fish and slices of century egg. Diners can adjust the intensity with extra vinegar or garlic, but the stall's default balance already hits a satisfying sweet-sour note. The queue, often long during peak hours, is testament to a bowl of lor mee that has won both critical recognition and the public's palate.

Can't help but feel that the reviews here are rigged. The lor mee is not good! Picture below is the $7 fried fish lor mee I ordered. Fish taste, gravy were all off. I ordered this once, and i told myself never in my life I am going to order this again. Trust me, it ain't that good. Many places do serve lor mee better than this.

Tired lor mee at many places. This is thus far the best Lor Mee in Singapore. Price is very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Honestly, I can’t give it 5 stars — it hasn’t reached that level for hawker food in my book. The lor mee broth is pretty mediocre and doesn’t stand out; it would have been better with a bit more egg white. …

Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee is celebrated for its rich, thick gravy—a five-spice braise sauce masterfully balanced with sour vinegar, spicy chili, fragrant garlic and fresh coriander. Thickened with tapioca starch and simmered to perfection, the …
Jerald Ici
The OG old airport road lor mee but taste is less robust and now most pricey among three lor mee stalls here for the basic bowl. The sauce is a bit too sweet for me, the beansprouts were pre-cooked and slightly soggy, the batang fried fish was fishy. As a result, the queue has shifted elsewhere during peak dining hours.
