Tai Wah Pork Noodle 大华肉脞面 (Hong Lim Market)

This bowl of goodness hails from the Hong Lim Market, renowned for its Michelin Bib Gourmand status. Though they were out of meekia and meepok during our visit, we gone for yellow noodles and kway teow. The noodles were delightfully QQ and slurp-worthy.

In the medium-sized bowl, you'll find an array of toppings: four bouncy meatballs, two wantons with smooth skin and flavourful marinated meat, grainy sliced pork, a hint of minced pork, pig liver, pork lard, spring onions, and a crispy dried sole fish. These noodles had no trouble soaking up the special mix sauce, resulting in a flavour explosion in every bite. The sauce, generously provided, gave a unique blend of distinct vinegar taste, lard oil, and chili, giving it a robust flavour profile that's truly slurptisfying.

Don't underestimate the simplicity of the soup either; it's packed with savoury goodness and a rich porky flavour that rounds out the meal nicely.

Wanted to try the wanton mee but the queue was too long and moved too slowly. Was nicely surprised how good the BCM was! Get the bigger portion for more liao, but pretty pricey for what you get.

Second revisit to Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle at 466 Crawford Lane!

We passed by this stall at around 5pm on a saturday and the queues were quite long (around 10 ppl in queue)? But when we went back again at almost 7pm, there was only 2 ppl in the queue! So because the queue was shorter, I had doubts about the food standards HAHA.

But ok, the noodles still turn out to be pretty good. The Mee pok was chewy and springy. Love that there is not only bak chor, but has pork balls and boiled wantons too! (I dont eat the pork innards and the fried zha bian yu thing) My only gripe (same as the previous trip) was that their noodles sauce mixture has too heavy a vinegar taste, and I don’t really fancy it.

The noodle bowls price range from $6, $8 and $10; and with the $8 bowl being labelled as “regular”. But don’t be fooled by it, as the $6 portion is more than enough! The photo here is for the $6 portion. It has enough portion to make you full like any other normal bakchormee portions you can get in other stalls.

Recommend to eat this only if the queue is not too long! (The last time when they first got popular, and before they got the One MICHELIN Star status, we queued in line for almost one hour!!)

Fans of Bak Chor Mee should recognise this bowl of noodles! Awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, @taiwah_pork_noodle is the well-known Bak Chor Mee stall situated at Hong Lim Market and Food Centre.

Had this awhile back when the lunch queue wasn’t too long. The noodles were doused in a special mix of sauces, vinegar, lard oil and chilli. Lying atop the noodles were slices of pork liver, pork, minced meat, fried sole fish, pork balls and pork dumplings. As I ordered the dry version, it comes with a bowl of savoury pork-based soup on the side.

I think what sets them apart from the rest is the strong vinegary flavour, which gives the bowl of noodles a tangy flavour. The pork liver was very fresh and tender while the dumpling contain a generous amount of fillings.

Though the bowl of noodles were delicious and the soup was really flavourful, for the price point and the long queue, it will remain as an occassional indulgence for me. For fans of @taiwah_pork_noodle , good news for you as they have recently opened a new outlet at Holland Drive!

Though it doesn't boast a Michelin star, this stall run by the brother of that other famous stall has a lot of similarities in their dishes, with few differences.
.
Crucially, while they offer a similar winning gravy of black vinegar, light soy sauce, and sambal chilli, this is less intense in sour savoury spicy taste than the other stall.
.
The gravy beautifully coats the springy mee pok / wide flat egg noodles and tender minced pork meat and pork slices, while the pork meat balls have a juicy chew.
.
The crunchy fried flat fish offers a nice contrasting texture with salty savoury flavour, while the clear soup is beautifully sweet savoury, yum.
