Guide Features of Good Food at Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

Bak chor mee stalls are a dime a dozen across the island, but when it comes to an excellent bowl of springy yellow noodles topped with minced pork and assorted toppings, this longtime favourite at Crawford Lane in Lavender does it best. Make the most of your time and combine your trip here with a visit to the nearby Kampong Glam heritage area. Queue times have tripled since they were awarded a Michelin star in 2016, so be prepared to wait — an hour's queuing is often de rigueur here. The patient (and early) will be rewarded with a bowl of Bak Chor Mee (from $5) excellence. After the gruelling wait, most customers would splash out on the most expensive $10 bowl, which comes generously with toppings like meatballs, dumplings, pork liver, sliced pork, and fried flat fish slices. The noodles are cooked till springy al dente doneness, and then tossed in a distinctively tangy vinegary sauce — absolutely slurp-worthy! Pro tip: Avoid peak lunch and dinner hours. Come outside of meal times and you may get lucky with a 15-minute wait.
Avg Price: $10 per person
