Yan Kee (炎记) Noodle House @ South Bridge Road - 24 Hour Bak Chor MeeSua

IMG_6589ed

While Singapore is known as a food paradise, it is actually quite hard to find a supper place. Most places are usually closed by 10pm. If you like bak chor mee, let me introduce you to Yan Kee (炎记) Noodle House at the junction of South Bridge Road and Circular Road which is opened 24 hour.

Besides the fact that it is opened 24 hour, this is where you can find a special bowl of Dry Bak Chor Mee Sua ($4). The delicious bowl of mee sua comes with minced pork, lean pork, meatball, mushroom, ikan bilis and lots of vinegar.

Actually not many places offers bak chor mee sua. Usually it only comes with mee pok or mee kia. I guess probably its because it is not easy to cook mee sua. If overcooked, it will become gluey and soggy. Cost could be another fact. However I personally like mee sua over mee pok and mee kia because it is a better sponge to soak up the tanginess of the vinegar.

During my visit around 10pm, the stall was mend by a younger man cooking the mee sua. My mee sua unfortunate was a bit lumpy. I was told that there is a uncle who cooks a better bowl of mee sua and he usually works in the morning. I look forward in my next visit to try the uncle's cooking and compare the different.
