The Forkin Evidence Score is a transparent calibration of the published evidence behind this venue's editorial stamp — not a personal dining rating, and never derived from Google data. It starts from the stamp's base value, applies the five evidence adjustments below, then clamps the result inside the stamp's band.

WORTH A LOOK
Confidence: lowForkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.
Provisionally restored 3 September 2026 on one dated, independent, exact-outlet DanielFoodDiary assessment from an established publisher. No second qualifying editorial assessment exists, so confidence is low and the limitation is disclosed.
What public coverage says
Old Street Cafe, the MacPherson Road Nanyang cafe from the KL Traditional Chilli Ban Mee team, is assessed on one independent, dated assessment of this outlet: Daniel Food Diary found the noodles slightly springy and the chilli mild rather than fiery, though carrying noticeable heat. The band rests on that single source.

Foodpanda and Facebook cannot supply a second source under the standing user-generated-content exclusion, and the Eatbook item is a dated new-openings report without a tasting verdict. A targeted additional search returned only the same DanielFoodDiary and Eatbook items, social posts and delivery listings; no further qualifying independent review was found.
