Ding Ji should be no stranger to connoisseurs of bak chor mee (minced pork noodles). While it has many outlets across the island, it's the original stall in Bishan that makes me swoon. Its menu features the standard Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle, but the 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲 is the standout item.

Besides the usual bcm toppings like pork slices, pig's liver and minced pork, it also comes with one meatball, one fishball, one wanton and a raw egg dropped into the soup. These tasted sensational, but it was the soup that blew me away. Full of meaty flavour and possessing a subtle sweetness, it delighted my tastebuds and warmed my heart.

The soupy bcm at Bedok 85 may draw the crowds, but one sip of Ding Ji's brilliant broth and you won't be going back to Bedok any time soon (unless you stay there, of course).
