Although the ingredients they used are pretty simple, the gravy and cuttlefish make this dish outstanding. The dish actually has all the flavor, sweet, sour and spicy. Sweetness from the gravy used to fry the noodles, hint of sourness from the lime and spiciness from the delicious cuttlefish. Taste wise, it is stunning good, with the slightly wet but very fragrant noodle and chewy cuttlefish. Anyway please beware that it is quite spicy.

Environment
The stall is located in a hawker center and also shaded by a big aged tree. It is quite windy probably due to the location is not far from the beach. Anyway one negative impression to the hawker center is there are quite a lot of crows around, which is less hygiene.
