Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

👍👍👍

This 1-Michelin starred stall attracts queues of up to 1 hour, but we managed to get lucky with a wait of only 15 minutes.
.
Recognised as the 1st to combine black vinegar, sambal chili, light soy sauce, noodles, and pork, creating the now-iconic bak chor mee; they've been delighting folks since being founded by Tang Joon Teo in 1932.
.
Their gravy has a well balanced yet piquant sour savoury salty spicy flavour, while the mee kia / long thin egg noodles has a springy chew to texture.
.
The clear soup has a lovely sweet savoury flavour, with a light vegetal earthy note from the seaweed.
.
Love the freshness of the tender pork and the crisp fried flat fish.

Had the one michellin star minced meat noodle ($6). The fresh fish is unique. However, I find that the noodle is al denta which is not my type for bcm and unnecessary amount of vinegar.

It's my own opinion and does not mean is a bad dish

At Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, you should expect to queue for at least 30 mins to 1 hour to enjoy a bowl as it is rated 1 Michelin Star (probably one of the cheapest Michelin rated food you can find).

I opted for the $10 𝑩𝒂𝒌 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒆𝒆 bowl which includes dumplings, fried fish slices, minced pork, pork liver, and sliced pork. All the ingredients are perfectly cooked. The pork liver is cooked in a way so it is tender and not grainy. The dumplings and plump and juicy. The seaweed soup is tasty and flavorful. What I love most are the noodles which are thicker than usual and al dente. If you like more vinegary Bak Chor Mee, this is for you. For those who aren't too fond of vinegar like me, you might think this is too pungent. A solid BCM for sure. Let me know what's your favorite BCM in Singapore.

Awarded a Michelin Star since 2016, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle often draws up hour-long queues throughout the day. On my most recent visit (Sunday, around 12.30PM), I was comparatively lucky and only queued for about 30 mins.

👉Bak Chor Mee - SGD6/8/10

Btw this is their SGD8 bowl.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle 🍜
We really wanted to love this 💔
Decided to check it out as we were pretty curious about
how a bowl of Michelin Starred Bak Chor Mee tasted.
We went on a weekday afternoon around 3pm and had to queue for bout 20mins.
There were 3 portions sizes to choose from and they were priced at $6/$8/$10

The ingredients tasted fresh and were well cooked. Other than that there was really nothing to shout about. The mee kia tasted pretty ordinary and 'twas a bowl that could’ve been gotten from any other regular BCM stalls. Honestly didn’t understand why it has been so raved about.

Perhaps the rave raised our expectations and led us into thinking that it was going to be something truly mind-blowing.

Honestly, a visit to this place isn’t worth it at all given the price point and a queue that can go up to 1.5hours.

You’re better off with any other BCM stall.
