It has been a while since I last revisited ABC Brickworks Food Centre, and during my recent visit, I was delighted to stumble upon San Xiang Bak Chor Mee, a new addition that has popped up since my previous trip. Naturally, I had to give it a try.
Bak Chor Mee (Meepok) 4.2/5
I went for the classic Bak Chor Mee ($4/$5/$6), choosing mee pok as my noodle base. The bowl was comforting and familiar, served with a hearty mix of minced pork, pork liver, meatball, and fishball. Each ingredient held its own, especially the liver, which was cooked just right, tender and not overdone. The real highlight, though, was the sauce. The punchy sambal base carried a bold, vinegary tang. It tied everything together beautifully, coating the springy noodles for a mouthful of umami and spice with every bite.
Bak Chor Mee (Mee Sua) 4/5
My dining companion opted for the mee sua version. The rice vermicelli was soft and comforting, absorbing the sauce well without becoming mushy. There was a distinct rice aroma that added a touch of depth. While the mee sua made for a gentler, more delicate bowl, the mee pok offered better textural contrast and held up stronger against the assertive flavours of the sambal.
San Xiang Bak Chor Mee is a solid addition to the lineup at ABC Brickworks. The flavours are bold, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are satisfying. If you’re a fan of a vinegar-forward Bak Chor Mee, this stall is definitely worth a try.
