Jia Bak Chor Mee

A real family business, the restaurant takes its name from its founder and main chef, Miss Bak Chor Mee. Her aim is to give the opportunity to customers to enjoy the purest Singaporean cuisine. Her very special is meat balls, a delicious traditional Singaporean dish that she still made by hand and following the traditional recipes. Bak Chor Mee was taught to cook Singaporean traditional food by her uncle in a restaurant in Circuit Road during the 80is. After a break that was necessary to take care of her children, she decided to get back to work and opened a small restaurant inside the Pasir Panjang Hawker Centre. The business grew so fast that it was necessary to find quickly a more appropriate location. For this reason, the restaurant was moved in Pasir Panjang Road Food Court. Despite all these changes, our mission is unaltered. Providing you with delicious, top quality food that reflects the most rooted Singaporean culinary traditions. Staying in Singapore, take the occasion to enjoy Bak Chor Mee (in English, “Minced meat and noodles”), one of the most popular local specialities. This delicious dish of meat and noodles was originally a soup. However, the dry version caught on like wildfire, and Bak Chor Mee is so popular that is sold almost in every stall and restaurant, now. Bak Chor Mee is uniquely Singaporean, as it is not possible to find it anywhere else in the world. There are some variants of this dish, for example prawns or fish could replace the pig meat, but the purist version has always pig meat, minced pork, pork dumplings and fresh sliced pork. Mee Pok (thick egg noodles) or Mee Pok (thin egg noodle) are made with eggs and flour. They must be yellow and flat. Their shape remind the one of the Italian “Tagliatelle”, and, like the Italian pasta, they are to be cooked “al dente”. Once cooked, they are tossed in pork lard, vinegar and chili. In the end, we add the pig meat on the top and Bak Chor Mee is served. Accompany your Bak Chor Mee with a fresh beer, or, more classically, with a cup of kopi-O (coffee with sugar).
