Bib Gourmand Bak Chor Mee @ Tai Wah Pork Noodle

 


Located on the 2nd floor of Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, Tai Wah Pork Noodle awarded the Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore, for their bak chor mee. What to eat at Hong Lim? This is one you should not miss.

Priced at $6, $8, $10, you get to choose the type of noodles. Mee pok or mee kia.

Tee Poh (dried sole fish)

The only piece given for our $6 order was a paltry tiny piece, but crunchy and savoury.

Noodles and sauce

Their mee kia noodles were slightly thicker than the usual wanton noodles, which holds the sauce well. It didn't had the overwhelming alkaline taste and blanched to a perfect consistency.

Sauce mix was not overtly covered in black vinegar, which allowed us to still taste the sweetness of the pork, the savouriness and chili of the sauce mix.

Pork, Dumpling, and Stuff

Porky, sweet and soft. These were the taste that hit us like musical notes, creating a musical ensemble in our mouth. Pork liver were soft and cooked just nice. Pork slices were tenderlicious and subtle sweetness. Minced pork were fluffy and yet carries a nice bite to every bit and pieces.

Pork balls were bouncy and packs a nice punch in texture. Dumpling was plump and savoury.

Every single ingredient carries its own unique texture and taste. What a sensational experience.

Oh, and their fried pork lard was soft and crunchy, almost comparable to the absolute fried pork lard from Ah Li Japanese Fusion Mee Pok @ Li Yuan Mee Pok 栗原麵薄.

Soup

Tai Wah's soup was one of the best we have ever tried, with loads of pork fluff within, felt hearty and tons of flavour. The aftertaste was fantastic, which lingers around the breathe that assaults the senses.

Conclusion

Sauce mix was definitely on point, noodles and ingredients were straight up perfect, and soup was out of this world. With these combination, no wonder they got they MICHELIN awards and commands a healthy streaming line of customers. Recommneded!

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
