Bak Chor Mee @ S-11 AMK Central Food House

Bak Chor Mee is a very common dish where one can find in almost any corner of Singapore and it is eaten any time of the day. The unique thing about this stall are the ingredients used. Three things stood out,

1) Marinated Minced Meat (Bak Chor)
2) Fried Wanton with Minced Meat fillings
3) Fried Meat Ball

Unlike normal Bak Chor Mee, this stall used marinated minced meat. The fried meat ball and wanton are popular too. Some customers even ordered a separate plate of the fried meat ball and wanton.

Bak Chor Mee 4/5

A little side track of my post as I was amused by the herbal tea brand I ordered from the food house. It is my first time to come across this interesting brand of herbal tea.

Kok Sen Restaurant @ Keong Saik Street

Kok Sen Restaurant is a "zi char" stall with an old coffee shop setting located along Keong Saik Street. There is no air condition here and on a crowded day, you may have to eat at the dark back alley. Don't be mislead by its exterior, this zi char stall served fantastic dishes.

I have eaten here many times and tried many of their dishes. My all time favourite are their black bean bitter gourd and pork rib, prawn paste chicken, big prawn chu mee feng and black bean sliced fish.

However, I wanted to try something different today and ordered sliced fish soup, stir fried sliced beef and kailan. The sliced fish was very fresh but a very normal dish. Both the beef and kailan were well fried and nice. This place has never failed to satisfy my craving for home cooked chinese food. Oh! this place only accept cash payment.
