The Bak Chor Mee Challenge: Wrap-Up

By Alfred September 14, 2009

The Bak Chor Mee Challenge To look for the best Bedok style Bak Chor Mee is the objective of this challenge. This challenge, initially planned for an 8 parts series(for 8 Bak Chor Mee stalls) was extended with an additional of 4 more parts because of my discovery of 4 more stalls. The focus of this challenge is to compare the noodles(mee), soup, dumpings(bak giao) and the minced pork(bak chor), which are all essentials ...

The Bak Chor Mee Challenge: Part 12 [Extended]

By Alfred September 13, 2009

You Nuo Shi(Eunos) Rou Cuo Mian is a Bak Chor Mee stall that is well hidden inside a coffeeshop near to Eunos MRT. This stall was also introduced by Ah Guan and is operated by a young lady(possibly the youngest seller of the lot). Bak Chor Mee at Eunos My bowl of Bak Chor Mee came and looked pretty good. The bak chor(minced pork) here tasted pretty unique in the sense that it's very similar to minced chicken ...

The Bak Chor Mee Challenge: Part 11 [Extended]

After introducing Ah Guan who is one of the great-grandsons of the inventor of Bak Chor Mee in my previous review, I'm going to introduce to you another great-grandson who is also operating a Bak Chor Mee stall in Tampines area. An An Rou Cuo Mian has been doing Bak Chor Mee business at Tampines Blk 823 vicinity for a very long time. How long you may ask, well it's over 20 years. That's a pretty shocking figure right? ...

The Bak Chor Mee Challenge: Part 10 [Extended]

When we talk about Bedok's style of Bar Chor Mee, then we must be thinking all about Bedok. Little did we know that it didn't even originated from Bedok but Chai Chee. Ok ok though I know that historically, Chai Chee is actually within the Bedok's perimeter but still, in the past it is referred to as Kampong Chai Chee and it's actually north of Siglap, east of Kembangan, west of Bedok Central and south of Bedok Reservoir. So you ...

The Bak Chor Mee Challenge: Part 9 [Extended]

By Alfred September 10, 2009

It is common knowledge that Bedok South Block 16 Market has no Bak Chor Mee stall. But recently a Bak Chor Mee stall owner told me that he vividly remembers a long distance aunt doing Bak Chor Mee business in one of the coffeeshops around Bedok South Block 16 though it was long time ago. So I went to check it out not expecting to find any but voila! Found it! You can call me sua ku here but I ...

The Bak Chor Mee Challenge: Which is the best in Bedok? Part 8 of 8

By Alfred September 9, 2009

I had initially planned for this Bak Chor Mee write-up to be a 8 parts series because I only know of 8 stalls(1 of which is out of Bedok) at first. However I've been brought to the attention of another 3 stalls. 1 stall is also in Bedok while the other 2 stalls are out of Bedok. Therefore there will be an extension of 3 more posts and this 8 part series will be done with this post(which is the ...

The Bak Chor Mee Challenge: Which is the best in Bedok? Part 7 of 8

By Alfred September 8, 2009

Some people said that, the birth place of this Bedok's style of Bak Chor Mee is actually Chai Chee. Well that could be true since Chai Chee is actually very near to Bedok, infact just down the road about 100 metres off those HDBs at Chai Chee district. But you may ask, if that's so, why aren't people calling it a 'Chai Chee Bak Chor Mee' instead? Well, nobody may be calling it a Chai Chee Bak Chor Mee but ...

Over at Bedok Blk 511 Market And Food Centre, Bak Chor Mee here is as iconic as the Bak Chor Mees at Blk 85 Fengshan Market & Food Centre. Infact, in the past, whenever my family thought of Bak Chor Mee for breakfast in the morning, Blk 511 at Bedok never fails to come to mind. It seriously used to be the only place in the morning having a good competition for Bak Chor Mees. Not so long ago, at Bedok ...

If you've been to Tiong Bahru Market Food Centre, you would realised that there are about 5 stalls of Lor Mee. Only few years ago, before the market was upgraded, there was only 1 Lor Mee stall. So from 1 to 5 Lor Mee stalls within a few years is quite a mean feat and it's so mean that very few people actually know which is the original Lor Mee stall. At Bedok Blk 85 Fengshan Market & Food Centre, ...

The battle for the best Bak Chor Mee at Bedok Blk 85 Fengshan Market & Food Centre is very similar to the battle for the best Nasi Lemak at Changi Village Hawker Centre. Xing Ji Ruo Cuo Mian(stall no 7 ) and Seng Hiang Food Stall(stall no 8 ) at Fengshan Market & Food Centre in particular are just like International Food Stall and Mizzy's Corner at Changi Village. They are not only selling similar food and having similar taste, ...

Copycats are quite unpreventable in this world. As long as something is good and in demand, you can believe that somehow, somewhere, someone will be coming to steal the market share. It's for that reason that farmers hardly ever get rich because if something is in demand, then other farmers would start growing it and sooner or later, what you're growing would be worthless. In Fengshan Market & Food Centre at Blk 85 Bedok North St 4, there are currently ...

By Alfred September 3, 2009

We all know that operating a food business is not easy. If you're the boss of a cze char stall, you will need to check the stock level for at least 200 ingredients, big and small items and ensure that you have enough stocks for the day's business. And these ingredients counting and ordering ritual is a daily affair. However a lot of bosses rely on their cooks or kitchen hands for that task and I can understand that part because ...

If you're staying in the east side of Singapore and your favourite food is noodles, then you should have heard of this famous authentic Bak Chor Mee at Bedok Blk 85 market. If you're staying in the west side, I can feel your anguish over the need to travel so far just to eat this simple but authentic food, but however, if you die die must come all the way to have a Bak Chor Mee experience, then this ...
