This is a long over due post Haha. Anyway, Mey Lin is your typical Chinese restaurant which serves noodles, dimsums and the likes. But don't expect too much on the ambiance or the restaurant itself as they have a slightly small place with a lot of tables. You can overlook the restaurant itself, since they have a really yummy food (I have eaten here quite a few times).
For starters, we tried their Jelly Fish. Looks tasty right? Well it is. It's crunchy and is seasoned well. Though yes it's crunchy, some parts of the food is like rubber to me. Kind of inconsistent, I know.
Fried Pork Chop Noodles. Yes they have it separated at first. It's up to you if you want to put the pork chop into the noodles or eat it separately. Their pork chop, as you can see above, is golden brown, perfectly cooked. Crunchy breading and and they have a generous amount of "pork" in it. Since some restaurants have a lot of breading and less pork. Going to their noodles, tasty and al dente! It really tastes good maybe because their noodles are hand made or made from scratch.
Here we have their version of Siao Long Pao. It was fresh from their steamer so we ate it almost immediately. Only to be a bit disappointed. My first Siao Long Pao experience was with Shi Lin, a taiwanese restaurant in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). The Siao Long Pao there looks the same as the above but the inside is what differentiates the two. In the Siao Long Pao above, it has a lot of meat inside. Don't get me wrong, some dimsums are supposed to have a lot of meat inside but not this one. 'Cause it has to have a broth inside. This was the lacking in Mey Lin's Siao Long Pao, got little to no broth inside, a bit disappointing but at least the taste was there.
I'd recommend Mey Lin specially if you love your noodles.
