What do you do when you are craving local food like mee pok in the wee hours of the night? Head on down to Mengs kitchen! Even at 12mn, I had wait at least 10 minutes to get a table.Do not expect air con and a super clean coffee shop, this is your typical coffee shop you find in the heartlands on upper Thomson road. It is quite hot and stuffy and I would recommend you to get a table outside the shop, facing the main road for some fresh air.Pay up front at the cashier, starting at $4 for mee pok

Pay up front at the cashier, starting at $4 for mee pok and $5 for a mini work. It's still reasonable and the food is served to you rather quickly. They are generous with the seaweed in the soup and you can taste the lard in everything! The soup was quite addictive but it didn't leave me feeling thirsty so hopefully no MSG? The fish balls had soup in them so be careful when chewing on them! The noodles tasted good and we enjoyed it! Would definitely be back if I have another craving for noodles in the middle of the night!

Minced Pork Noodles, $3.50
This place has undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, minced pork noodles, or as locals like to affectionately refer to as Bak Chor Mee, in Singapore! Pork balls in the minced pork noodles are handmade, and they are extremely soft and chewy. The mee pok is very springy and cooked to the right degree. Pork is tender and fishballs are springy as well. It is also nicely mixed with a dash of chilli and vinegar.

I highly recommend this place if you have not tried it before! It might just be the best bowl of noodles you have ever eaten. There are other types of noodles you can order too like laksa, fishball noodles and abalone noodles, all at really affordable prices. Furthermore, this shop is open 24 hours so go there if you are looking for a delicious supper. One of my favourite go-to food places as it is conveniently located and always leaves me 100% satisfied.

I've tried the famous Bak Chor Mee at Hill Street, and a couple more at other 'famous' places, and i daresay Meng's Kitchen at Upper Thomson is still my top favourite.

The staff are prompt, and their bak chor mee has a good balance of oil and ingredients. The noodle are tangy, and the vinegar is just in the right proportion. Further, the soup that comes with it is most satisfying in the wee hours of the morning when you want to satisfy a food craving.

Their drinks such as sour plum and teh ping are not bad too. The best part is that it is really affordable. For around $5 or less, you can get a bowl of piping hot noodles with a drink.

Being open 24/7, it is a popular after-clubbing destination, or if you're just bored and want to find a place to hang out..

You need to add on a side or two sometimes.

Today we added on a side of their thai style tofu.

I imagine this to be one of the cheapest possible profit making side.

Just one block of tofu. Deep fried please.

Some thai chilli sauce.

And there we have it.

Simple. But so much oil needed for frying it hardly ever happens at home.

Yum.
Let's not stinge on the garnishing. Some shredded red carrots.

Meng Kitchen is one of the more famous bak chor mee stalls around, and being a huge bak chor mee fan, I knew that I had to give this place a spin to find out what all the fuss is about, despite the fact that I don't even live in the area.
I arrived during off peak hours and managed to get my bowl of noodles without having to wait for too long. I opted for mee pok since this is my preferred type of noodles. The noodles came fluffy and sufficiently chewy, and not at all soggy. I really enjoyed the noodles a lot. The base contained vinegar and of course chili sauce, and the combination of the two (with probably some secret ingredients) gave rise to one of the most satisfying bowls of bak chor mee I have ever eaten. The icing on the cake was the very generous portion of minced pork and liver; I have always felt that some stalls tried to make their food seem nicer by limiting the serving size, but apparently that is not the practice. Do come here if you want to taste what a really good bowl of bak chor mee should taste like.

I honestly think the bak chor mee at Meng Kitchen @ Upper Thomson is the best in Singapore. There's nothing average about it! The best way to enjoy this dish is to order it with extra chilli and extra vinegar. But of course, if you're not a fan of chilli, the version without the spice is also pretty good. If you've a big appetite, you might want to consider adding noodles because the portion for a normal bowl of bak chor mee is small.

If you are a Bak Chor Mee lover, there is Meng Kitchen that can satisfy your craving 24 hours 7 days a week located along Upper Thomson Road. The noodles used by Ming Kitchen were springy and well mixed with a good balance of vinegar and chilli. They are also very generous with their ingredients which have meatballs, both sliced and minced pork, livers and mushrooms.
