Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles

I am very lucky to visit this stall during the weekend and there was no queue. Overheard from other customers asking why there are no queue that day which the stall owner also dumbfound. Usually, the queue can snake all the way up to the other end of the coffee shop. I think chinese newspaper just posted a article on this stall, think it will be flooded with people soon. This famous Bak Chor Mee is among one of the best you can find. Some say this is better than the bedok's version. 

The mee is served from either dry or soup. However, the price is abit steep, range from $5, $6, $8, $10. But i am sure that once you take a bite at the noodle, you will know the price is worth it. 

Only 4 sauces are used to mix the sauce. I could only guess that they consist of vinegar, pork lard with oil, chili sauce  (of course its a must), and the last sauce look like light soy sauce.  

Do not touch sign is posted on this container. What can be observed are the minced meat, liver and pork meat. All ingredients are fresh and certainly tasty

The noodles are very firm and Q to chew. Tender and fresh pork mince, pork meat and liver are added as topping. You can also find dry fish and dumplings in the mixture of noodle. The noodles have a very stong vinegar taste and smell, highly recommended for those who love vinegar. The chilli is also shiok. I like that spiciness that goes well with the noodle as a whole. Very satisfying. I love the pork balls too, no stinky smell. This really portray how well prepared the ingredients are and the freshness.

Seaweed soup!!! Haha, i ordered the $8 dish, maybe this is something extra. The soup is tasty and i can taste of pork and fresh seaweed. Certainly worth the price.

Operation hour: 9.30 am to 8pm

Verdict: 4/5 (Taste)

I totally love the bak chor mee. Although it is abit pricey but consider the tastiness and freshness of the food, i feel that it is worth it, once in awhile. Comparable to Bedok version. What do you think? Come and give it a try.

Bedok 85 Bak Chor Mee - Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian Vs Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee

Well, i believe most of the locals did heard that Bedok 85 sell one of the best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore. But who exact are the best? Well, i ordered from each of the stall and tried them out. Usually there are alot of people waiting to buy the famous Bak Chor Mee during evening time and especially weekends. Hence, go there at around 5pm if you want to skip the queue.

Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee $2.50 / $3 - They sell dry and soup base mee. The broth is thick and very tasty, you are able to taste the minced pork just by tasting the soup. Generous serving of porkballs as i only $2.50 mee. Pork balls are chewy but have a heavy pork smell which i am not really fond of. Big red cut chillis are given too if you like spicy food. The noodle however is abit disappointment, the noodle smell still linger around when i chew on them. Doesn't really impress me on this.

Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian $2.50 / $3 - They only sell the soup base bak chor mee. Well, i must compare soup base with soup base right? Hahaha. The broth is delicious, very flavourable and tasty. Porkballs are chewy and fantastic. They do not have that heavy pork smell when i chew on them which means they are much fresher compare to the previous. Noodle is well cooked and absorb the broth totally. The noodle taste is not that heavy too and are tender too. Chillis are already add on top of the noodle, for those who can't take spicy, better to inform the seller that you do not want chili when ordering.

Overall, i prefer Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian, maybe just win by a margin from the way the noodles are cooked. Ultimately, both stalls have their supporters and fans.

Try them both if you drop by and decide yourself which is better. However, there are lots more food around the area, i strongly suggest to try other food nearby.
