    If you are a fan of Lam Mee then this one you must try. It is situated at Macalister Road, just opposite the junction of Abu Siti Lane and Macalister Road.

    Decent “birthday noodles” (a traditional dish served with strips of coloured fried eggs, prawns, bean sprouts, yellow noodles and yummy broth) available here. Not easily available everywhere.
