SoonHengPorkNoodles10

If you like the Bedok 85 style of Bak Chor Mee, then you are in for some great news. Soon Heng Pork Noodles at Neil Road serves a good bowl of the soupy style bar chor mee. Furthermore, it is located in the central of Singapore, hence for people like me staying in the West, it is more conveniently located.

Bak Chor Mee 4.5/5

The bowl of Bak Chor Mee ($4/$5) comes in 2 portions. We have the $4 portion which comes with 3 meatballs, 2 wanton and minced pork in the sweet soup that is robust and packed with flavours. Diner also gets to have a choice of noodles - mee kia, mee pok, mee tai bak and kway teow.

Unlike other bak chor mee stalls, the broth here is almost like a ramen broth that is rich and intense. This is achieved by simmering pork bones overnight for that heavenly flavour. It is so delicious that I drink up everything, not leaving a single drop. Picking the bone, what needs to improve is the wanton. The dough is a bit thick, and the filling lacks flavour.

928 Laksa @ Yishun Central - My Number One Laksa In Singapore

928Laksa2

Yishun is probably one of those neighbourhoods that I seldom venture for my food hunt. Having worked in the area for several years, I also have some favourites in the area. One of them is laksa from 928 Laksa in Yishun Central. It's one of my favourite laksa places in Singapore.

What makes the bowl of laksa stand out here is the thick and creamy broth. Unlike most places, the broth was rich with coconut milk. What we describe locally as very lemak, packed with deep-fried shrimp fragrant. For an even more enjoyable taste profile, I would recommend adding the sambal chilli

Besides getting to choose the type of noodles for the bowl of laksa, one will find an abundance of ingredients in the bowl. There are fish cakes, tau pok, crab stick, egg and cockles in it.

I am not sure how long 928 Laksa has been around, but it definitely has been a long time. I remembered having it regularly back in early 2000 when I was working in the vicinity. There is always a long queue at the stall, so be prepared to queue up for more than 20 minutes if you want to savour the delicious bowl of laksa.
