The pig liver was very soft as it was cooked with the right temperature & time hence not over-cooked which will become hard.

The Food
I ordered the minced pork mee kia dry with lots of chilli. The noodle is springy and I like their pig liver and soup!!! The pig liver was very soft as it was cooked with the right temperature & time hence not over-cooked which will become hard. Whenever I ordered, will always request for more chilli and vinegar as the combination make me addicted to the taste !!

As for the soup is rich & have the natural pork sweetness and seaweed flavour, also can see the minced pork floating on top hence can tell has been cooked for few hours.

The Service
As I went on weekends late night, the queue still very long. The friendly uncle who take down orders will remember what I want because I always order the same noodles.

The Ambience
Although the stall is in a coffeeshop, i find that the place was well-ventilated and not stuffy hence still acceptable

The Price
I ordered the $6 and the portion is just nice. They also have price range of $5, $6, $8 and $10 and is worth the money even though a bit over-priced!!

Overall
I will definitely come back again to try the $8 version and highly recommended to try this!

It's amazing how Singaporeans will travel and queue for food.

It appears to be a common mentality.. "anything that has a queue MUST BE good". Chances are, you can't go very wrong with this..

Each time I visit Crawford Lane, there is a queue emerging from the Pork Noodle stall. There seems to be no diminishing in the length of the queue for the entire period of time I'm in the coffee-shop.

S$5 for a standard serving of pork noodle, approx. 30mins wait. Well, it's quite worth it I would say.
Each bowl comes with a piece of liver and cuttlefish. Increases the authenticity of the dish it seems.

Well, if 90% of the population knows about the stall and gives it the thumbs up, how bad can you expect your meal to be?

I first got to know of this Bak Chor Mee stall in 2006. Since then, this has always been my favourite Bak Chor Mee. Long queues are a norm during lunch and dinner period. And in this case, long queue means at wait of 30 to 45 minutes (when the queue stretches out of the coffee shop)!

You may notice this sign stating that they are the one and only Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle. The reason for this was because of a law suit a few years back. In brief, Mr Tang Chay Seng, the owner of Hill Street Tai Hwa sued his nephew, Mr Authur Tung Yang for passing off his noodle stall (at Vivocity) as Mr Tang's. Even going to the extend of advertising in Chinese papers and stating that the stall at Crawford Lane had move. Eventually, Mr Tang was compensated with just $1,000 as there was insufficient evidence to show that his goodwill was damage. For a more details, you may read it here.

During this visit, I arrived during dinner time. Had to wait for a good half an hour before it was my turn. The Bak Chor Mee comes in $4, $5 and $6. If you are with a group of friends, order a bowl of mixed soup (with dumplings and meatballs).

This Teochew style Bak Chor Mee will blow you away just like how PSY's Oppa Gangnam Style blew the world away. Everything was perfect. The ingredients were so fresh and cooked to perfection. The Pork Liver which was cooked just right deserved a mention; soft and tender with no unpleasant taste or smell. Can't find any fault with their meatballs, minced meat, dumplings, fried crispy fish and pork lard. They were all so good. In addition, the Mee Kia was well cooked; al dente and springy. Toss everything up with the mixture of chilli and vinegar sauce. The vinegar they used intensified the oomph factor of this dish. Irresistible!

The bowl of soup here packs a punch! Rich and tasty. Full of essence of pork flavour that can only be achieve through hours of boiling pork meat and bones.

As I was preparing to leave after my meal at 730pm, I noticed that the queue still stretches all the way out of the coffee shop.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle's Bak Chor Mee is still my favourite Bak Chor Mee after all these years. In fact, its the best (die die must try!) Bak Chor Mee in Singapore. Fresh quality food that is well worth the money spent and time queuing. This is one food worth the wait! Can't wait to have more of this! Do remember this is the one and only Hill Street Tai Hwa! There are no other outlets!

This time round, thanks to the early morning brisk, I got to my bowl of heaven in less than 15minutes. Therefore, always come early if you're hungry!

The best part of the experience (apart from the crazy queueing, of course), is that the whole bowl of bah chor mee is unwavering in taste over the years - everything from the noodle consistency (or bee tai mak, the way i like it), to the soupiness of the dry bah chor mee and the flavour of the vinegar, is standardized and SOOO YUMMY all the time.


Although I'd have to warn you, that prices are steep at $5 a bowl for hawker fare - not that I care, as I go for the $8 one all the time. Seriously. I'm such a bah chor mee addict that I embarrass myself sometimes. Join me, won't you?

This has got to be the best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore and I am sure many Singaporeans and even non-Singaporeans can attest to this claim. The championship title of Bak Chor Mee certainly belongs to Tai Hwa.

This has got to be the best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore and I am sure many Singaporeans and even non-Singaporeans can attest to this claim. The championship title of Bak Chor Mee certainly belongs to Tai Hwa. This Bak Chor Mee stall even has its own website: http://www.taihwa.com.sg/el.htm
Please do note that there are two other outlets who claim to be Tai Hwa noodles too, hence in the website, it claims that it is the 'One and Only Original - No branch'. In case you are wondering what then is the relation, Straits Times ran an article in 2008 explain the breakup of the brothers / nephews. Here is the link to the article: http://www.soshiok.com/article/3396

Back to the bak chor mee, minimum order $4. But i recommend the $5 or even $6 so that you get the wonderful dumplings. If i didnt remember wrongly the $4 order does not come with dumplings. If you want a satisfying meal after queuing for a long time, then you could go all out and do what I do, order the dry $4 noodles and a $5 dumpling soup. On the other hand, you could order the $4 soup and $5 dry dumpling. Either way, your tummy will love you for it.

What is it about this noodle stall that causes me to fall hopelessly in love with it? Everything. From the sauce to the noodles to the very fresh ingredients such as meat ball, mince pork, dumpling and the dry sole fish or in teo chew we call it 'ti po'. The noodles are always cooked al dente, QQ texture that is hard to find in many places. The chili is fantastic and the vinegar causes one to swoon over it. Note that I always ask for addition chili and vinegar. Makes the whole dish very appetizing especially if you are a vinegar lover like me. The meat balls are also good but i am not sure if they make their own meat balls or procure it from somewhere. The dumplings though, I am sure is handmade. Very well marinated and tasty mince pork and the delightful burst of ti po in the dumpling makes the whole bowl of noodles to-die for. The star of many good bak chor mee stall is the noodles and thats about it, few would pay attention to the soup that accompanies the noodle. But here is Tai Hwa, every single detail is taken to account. The soup is extremely tasty due to the many hours of boiling pork bones.

Be warned though that the popularity of this stall comes with a heavy price! Be prepared to queue, be prepared to bring PATIENCE with you. It opens from about 9:30am to 9pm it is very very crowded during lunch time from 11am onwards right to about 230pm. Be prepared to wait for at least 20minutes for your bowl of noodles. If you have a choice, please do come at about 330-530pm and about 8 to 9:30pm. Too late though, noodles like kway teow may be sold out.

A little bit of history, this stall used to be in Hill Street before it moved to Marina Square and finally to its present site at Crawford Lane.

There is minced meat, lean meat, liver, dumplings, meat ball. You don't feel short changed at all. The star would be the springy noodle swimming in the big bowl of flavourful soup.

If you like vinegar then their bar chor mee suited you perfectly. I do not quite like the overwhelmed vinegar taste so not really a fan. I do not mind eating if there is no queue. Their ingredients tasted very fresh and they cooked their noodle nicely. The soup is very flavourful. I think the soup version may be a much better choice as compared to the dry one. I think i will try the soup one next time.

A lot minced meat, but the minced meat is actually not flavoured or seasoned. Their vinegar and chilli gravy goes well with the noodles and minced meat, it made the minced meat taste really delicious. it was worth queuing and paying the $5.

The liver is very tender and delicious. I dislike hard and tough livers and I was glad that the livers here are nothing like those other stalls which I have eaten at before. The noodles are springy and have bite in them and is tasty with their belachan chilli as well as the sauce. Although it requires some queuing up, but it is certainly worth the effort.

I am not really a fan of pig’s liver but their pig liver is prepared really well and does not have any weird taste so I guess this is one of the pig’s liver I can accept. The gravy is really tasty, I think the gravy of a bak chor mee is the make or break factor and for them it is definitely the make factor. The queue is really long but it is really worth the wait.

Although it's now at a sleepy HDB enclave, queues are still horrendously long. I was there once when there wasn't any queue so we decided to eat the bak chor mee - vinegar based sauce that was spicy and addictive, noodles were not soggy and perfectly chewy in texture. I would have preferred thinner noodles though.

the noodles were, however, very good. They were al dente with the right amount of bite. I was sort of shocked when I saw that the whole bowl was filled with oil, but I was told that this is actually the yardstick for all BCMs in Singapore. Anyway, I was not disappointed with the taste: not too salty and very flavorful with just a highlight of sourness coming from the vinegar.

A really big name in bak chor mee. You can ask anyone for a recommendation and this one is surely be among the recommendations. There was a long long queue when i was there at late afternoon. Queued up for 30 minutes before my turn. Their bak chor mee was quite nice but too much vinegar taste. It will be nicer if a bit less vinegar taste. If you do not like vinegar like me, remember to tell them not to add it. This is not the nicest i tried but not bad.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle started at the Hill Street in 1932 and moved to Marina Square in 1986 and then to the current location in 2005.

My first time eaten a bowl of their noodle was at Marina Square in the late 90s. The queue was equally long then if not longer.

I was in the vicinity for a late lunch. I thought of their minced pork noodle all of sudden and decided to lunch there. I was there at about 15:40 hrs and there were at least 12 people in the queue. I joined in the queue and waited for about 20 minutes to be served. I seriously did not expect a queue at such off-peak hour.

I ordered the regular portion of mee kia at $5.00. It came with 2 pieces of dumplings, slices of lean pork meat and pork liver, pork ball, dried fried fish together with a bowl of hot and flavorful soup with dried seaweed in it.

They tossed the nicely springy noodle with soy sauce, black vinegar sauce and chilli. For those people who love to have their noodle with an enormous amount of black vinegar sauce would probably enjoy this bowl of noodle.

It was an above average bowl minced pork noodle with its standard maintained all these years. They emphasized rather strongly that this is the one and the only outlet. In my opinion, it is good to have only one outlet to ensure the standard is consistent.

It used to be my favorite minced pork noodle before i tried Joo Heng Mushroom Minced Pork Noodle in Ang Mo Kio. Both are equally good minced pork noodle but of the different style.

It was still a satisfying lunch.
