Plain Mee... what gives, Super Kitchen, SS2?

Super Kitchen had always been fairly reliable for its chilli pan mee, so I don't know what happened this one Sunday night, when we paid our first visit to the SS2 outlet.

The place was eerily quiet, especially when the other outlets on the same row were entertaining queues of Sunday night family diners, spilling out of their shopfronts. We figured that pan mee isn't exactly the kind of food you'd be after for a hearty dinner to prime yourself for the week ahead but what the hey.

The customary Chilli Pan Mee arrives, looking as per usual... nicely poached egg, a decent mound of minced meat & crunchy anchovies on pan mee.

A whole plastic tub of chilli on the table for your taking

Now I don't know if Fat Tulip was a little too conservative with the chilli but this just wasn't quite the Super Kitchen Chilli Pan Mee that I'd known. It was unusually bland and basic, chilli offering just heat, not the flavour-packed pairing with the ingredients in the bowl.

I had felt like the "pinched" sort of noodles and decided to try the traditional soup pan mee. It came to me looking rather ill. How excited do you suppose this made me feel? The soup was VERY peppery; in fact it tasted of nothing but pepper.

We also ordered the Sui Kow, which were granted, chunky and tasty, but swam sulkily in the same overly-peppered soup.

Greens for gastrointestinal health! Yeah, no harm done here.

Not quite ready to give up on Super Kitchen as yet, because they have delivered many lip-smacking bowls of chilli pan mee in their other outlets. I am guessing it was a slow night, both in and out the kitchen so I'll make it a point to avoid this outlet on a Sunday night.
