Jue Yan Lor Mee (觉彦卤面) is a noodle stall in Bukit Batok West Hawker Centre that specialises mainly in lor mee (braised noodle in starchy gravy). Aside from several variants of lor mee with different ingredients, there is also a Fish Bee Hoon Soup (鱼肉米粉汤) dish on the menu.

Jue Yan’s lor mee has the same starchy-gravy base for all its lor mee dishes with different ingredients. The noodle, a choice between flat yellow noodle (default) or mee sua (wheat vermicelli), is added with half a braised egg and beansprouts and drenched in starchy gravy with egg drop. Condiments such as cut chillies, chilli paste, minced garlic, vinegar and coriander can be added separately to tune the noodle dish to taste. The savoury gravy has a viscosity that is neither too wet nor too thick and with nice flavours — go easy on the condiments, especially the spicy chilli paste.

The Signature Lor Mee (招牌卤面) is added with mixes of ingredients — braised lean pork meat, fried fish fillet and fried yam — to the base ingredients and noodle. The unique dish is delicious and offers multiple textures and tastes.

The Chicken Cutlet Lor Mee (鸡扒卤面) comes with cuts of fried chicken cutlet on the lor mee base. The chicken meat is tender and has crispy batter.

New on the menu is the Mala Chicken Cutlet Lor Mee (麻辣鸡扒卤面), which is very similar to the Chicken Cutlet Lor Mee except that the chicken cutlet has a reddish, mala-flavoured batter. The dish is not made spicy by the addition of the mala condiment, which simply adds a nice, mellow flavour to the crispy cutlet.
