He who seeks, slurps! Ting Kee Mie is so under the radar, that even Google Maps gets a little lost. But those who find the right door are rewarded with captivating aromas, the rapturous sound of slurping, and steaming bowls of soup made fresh from behind the unassuming counter. Since 2011, the Ting family has been delighting taste buds with their noodle soups prepared to perfection – so good, you’ll quickly forget the no-frills interior. Anyway, let’s cut to the chase: here, you call the shots. Simply pick your choice of toppings and noodles, then the maestro chef behind the counter will ladle over the magic potion, picked accordingly from one of the huge bubbling cauldrons. Choices include: silky smooth wontons stuffed with minced shrimp, juicy beef meatballs and Japanese rice noodles all bobbing about in a clear, subtly spicy broth; or melt-in-the-mouth duck, squid with a perfect springy-but-not-chewy texture, and springy egg noodles swimming in an umami-packed broth with just enough heat to awaken the taste buds. Definitely one to engrave in your mental GPS! · Coco Bianca
