Boat Quay (Original) Mushroom Noodle @ Telok Blangah Street 32 - A Good Bowl of Bak Chor Mee With Awesome Teochew Dumpling

BoatQuayOriginalMushroomNoodle2

I first get to know about Boat Quay (Original) Mishroom Noodle earlier in the year when I visited the stall with my foodie friends in Punggol. Even though the 2nd outlet is a franchise, I am glad that it has opened another stall nearer to my place at Telok Blangah Street 32.

I would recommend having the Signature Noodle ($5) which I find is more worth it then the Bak Chor Mee ($3.50) because of the portion and ingredients that come with it. A bowl of the signature noodle comes with 3 fish balls, fish dumpling, Teochew dumpling, mushroom, lean pork and minced pork.

I had the mee pok which is cooked to a enjoyable al dente bite. It is complemented by the chilli sauce which is robust and has a good kick to it. While the chilli sauce has a good depth to it, we found it a bit oily.

Teowchew Dumpling 4.5/5

However, the real highlight at Boat Quay (Original) Mushroom Noodle is their homemade Teochew Dumpling ($4/$5/$6). I ordered a bowl to the Teochew dumpling to go with my noodle. A bite into the dumpling, you will get a burst of flavours in the minced pork filling accentuated by the tee poh in it. This is wrapped in a thin and silky soft dumpling skin. My only complain is that the Teochew dumplings were loosely wrapped and overcooked.

Overall the franchise stall has maintained the standard of the flavours and served a good bowl of noodle. However I think they need to maintain a higher standard in terms of its cooking and quality. Once standard falls, it will be hard to retain the customer base.

Boat Quay (Original) Mushroom Noodle @ Punggol - Finally A Good Bak Chor Mee Stall In Punggol

3Z5A0607ed

Too many times I have heard from my friends that there is no good food in Punggol. I was quite excited when my foodie friends asked me to check out Boat Quay (Original) Mushroom Noodle at Sumang Link, Punggol which has moved from its previous location in Bukit Batok to the current location at G7 coffeeshop.

Signature Noodle 4.2/5

We tried the Signature Noodle ($5) which consists of fishball, meatball, pork slices, mushroom and teochew dumpling. Both the fishball and meatball were huge and bouncy. The noodle is on the softer side which still retained a good bite to it. Unfortunately I felt that the chilli sauce still lack a bit of punch to it. If not it would be perfect.

Teochew Dumpling 4.5/5

The highlight at Boat Quay (Original) Mushroom Noodle is the homemade Teochew dumpling which is bursting with flavours accentuated by the tee poh in the minced meat stuffing wrapped in a soft dumpling skin. A must try here.

Fishball Noodle Soup  4/5

For something light you can go for the Fishball Noodle Soup ($3/$4/$5) which comes in a light but flavourful broth with a huge bouncy fishballs made from yellowtail fish.

From our brief conversation with Uncle Lim, I gathered the reason for the stall's name because his grandfather used to sell the dish in Boat Quay. Back then it was operated from a push cart. Uncle Lim learnt the skills from his grandfather and opened his first stall at Ang Mo Kio in 1984. After operating in Ang Mo Kio for 10 years, he moved to Defu, Chevron House, Singapore Shopping Centre and Bukit Batok before settling at the current location.
