The ladies wanted to try this lala beehoon, so I tagged along. Located at Fortune Centre and seemed popular. Was able to spot the signage from across the road before reaching the building.
Was there at about 12pm on a Public Holiday and the place was starting to get busy. The system here is that diners should order and pay first before getting a table. Collect foods from either counter when they are ready. No buzzer, so just watch out for yours or sometimes, when diners were too engrossed in chatting, the friendly staff will call out to the table.

We ordered their Signature Power Drunken Lala Soup with either tang hoon or bee hoon options. Staff will ask if you would like it to be less spicy, and I actually will suggest to say yes to that. Reason was, we found out that the default 2 chilies strength, was spicier than expected. In my opinion, it was a level 3 out of 5 kind of spicy! Most likely the ginger used on that day contributed to that spiciness as well as the cut chilies in the soup.

The glass noodle option worked better for the dish as it provided a greater contrast in texture. Otherwise, the rice vermicelli (bee hoon) option actually soaks up more of the soup, so it was tasty too!

Clams were nice and retained its sweetness. The wine strength in the soup was pretty mild. Quite a strong taste of ginger. The noodles was decorated by quite a bit of coriander, hence do inform the staff not to put any, if you don't like it.
For drinks, we had the homemade lime juice. Nice to quench thirst as well as to put out some of the spiciness!

Of course, we also ordered the strongly recommended seehum (fresh cockles). Wah... it had been so long since I had legit sized ones as these. Cravings satisfied. Plump and non-funky. Slurpilicious!

For snacks, we also ordered the new Buffalo Wings. This reminded me of the toaster oven wings that I used to make, way back during my uni days. In comparison with the other dishes, I think buffalo wings was a tad pricey.

I liked the chawanmushi. Sweet dashi, and lovely custard texture. But, it'll be better if the clams were deshelled first...

| Fresh Lala chawanmushi @$4.50 |
Overall conclusion, the signature dishes are tasty, value for money and staff are friendly. If you're not spice lord, then you may want to request for non-spicy version or a less spicy version of the lala soup.
