Fried Baby Squid Prawn Mee @ Bukit Batok Street 11 - A Gooey Plate Of Goodness With Generous Serving Of Pork Lard

If you are looking for a good Fried Hokkien Mee in the West, you would probably enjoy Fried Baby Squid Prawn Mee located at Yong Xing Mian Jia Coffeeshop in Bukit Batok Street 11. When I was there during my visit, there was already a queue patiently waiting for the stall owner to fried their orders.

Fried Hokkien Mee 3.5/5

A plate of Fried Hokkien Mee ($3.50/$5/$8) comes with prawn, squid, egg and pork lard in a sweet and flavourful stock. The version here is wet and gooey, with the noodles soaking up the robust stock.

Different stalls use different ratio of noodles for the hokkien mee. At Fried Baby Squid Prawn Mee, it uses more bee hoon than yellow noodle for the plate of goodness.

I am not a fan of their chilli sauce. I always feel fried hokkien mee goes better with those chilli sauce that has a tangy. Saying that, the stall is generous with their pork lard which boosts more flavour into the plate of gooey goodness.

This stall serves a good plate of hokkien mee and I can tell from the endless queue during my lunch there. However, I think this is good but not the best. I have had better ones elsewhere. Unfortunately if its in the West, this is one of the better one I have come across so far. Do let me know if you are aware of any other good fried hokkien mee stalls in the West?

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle @ Crawford Lane - Best Bak Chor Mee In Singapore

It is finally official that Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle is the best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore when it was awarded one star in the inaugural Michelin Guide Singapore in July 2016. The stall started back in 1932 at Hill Street, moving to Marina Square in 1986 before settling down at Crawford Lane since 2005.

Bak Chor Mee Soup 4.2/5

The stall offers both the dry and soup version. A bowl of noodle at Tai Hwa costs $6, $8 and $10. I would recommend going for the $8 which comes brimming with ingredients. In the bowl of Bak Chor Mee Soup ($8), you can find ingredients such as meatballs, wanton, minced pork, lean pork, pork liver etc. The flavourful soup is being perfumed by the tee poh and pork lard.

Bak Chor Mee Dry 5/5

The highlight at the Michelin-starred hawker is their Bak Chor Mee Dry ($8). The al dente mee kia is firm and has an enjoyment bite. It does not have the alkaline taste at all. This is complemented by the awesome chilli and vinegar sauce which is the primary reason why there is always a snaking queue at the stall. Price may be a bit steep but with the generous serving, I think it is still quite worth it.
