Street Food Warms Your Heart: Mayim Chinese Cuisine at North Point

After moving from the south (Farrer) to the east (Simei) & now to the north (Sembawang), North Point has been one of our favourite dinner hangouts. There's no lack of dining places here. Mayim Chinese Cuisine is the place we go for whenever we have a noodles craving.

The Chinese cuisine served here at Mayim typically consists of Southern & Northern Chinese influences, ranging from La Mian, Shi Zhi Tou, to Dim Sum.

The Ambience & Decor

Here we have the La Mian Chef kneading the dough for the making of La Mian noodles.

The Founders of Mayim named it so after the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, bearing the meaning of "water".

On a typical Friday evening crowds of hungry diners throng & fill up close to 90% of the tables.

A wise anecdote in huge font is aligned as a centerpiece on one of the walls in the main dining section which rightly translates as "the common peasants regards eating as the normal practice, to be happy one has to be contented alway".

These lanterns with huge lantern covers & a short tassel, emit a pleasantly cosy light, lending a warm cosy ambience to the restaurant.

This is one of the must devour item on the menu whenever Bob & I visit Mayim. The Mix Combo Noodle (dry version) consists of Roast Char Siew & Chicken served with Hong Kong style noodles in dark sauce. I always add all of the pickled green chili & onion, pickled garlic, roasted garlic into the noodles to taste.

Another must have dish is the Roast pork served with mustard. Chef made the roast pork till it retains a crisp outer skin & soft juicy moist meat layer. The mustard lends a strong mustardy flavor that blends so beautifully with the roast meat & brings out the flavor of the meat so well.
