I am aware that there are two types of beef noodle in Singapore -the gooey Hainanese version and the soupy Teochew version. I hereby introduce the Hainanese version. A thick rice vermicelli smothered with sweet aromatic gravy (flavored from hints of star anise, cinnamon, cloves) thickened with some sort of starch topped with slowly braised shin, tendon, tripe, brisket as well as bouncy beef balls and flash heated beef slices. The accompaniment of chilli paste, cincalok and lime juice gives the dish another dimension, namely the dish is, in my opinion, incomplete without it -complicated flavors and saltiness from fermented shrimp (cincalok), lime juice complements the slightly sweet gravy and richness of the beefy goodness and the chilli gives the needed kick here and there.
