When my friend first brought me to this famous Bedok 85 hawker centre for supper and asked if I would like a bowl of the famous Bak Chor Mee, my answer was "ok lor". Not very enthusiastic, as I was sleepy.When the order arrived, it was nothing like I expected. Bak Chor Mee with soup? No mushroom slices? No lettuce? I was skeptical about the plain bowl of soupy noodles with just meatballs and some minced meat.My first bite jolted me awake. It tasted surprisingly good.The noodles were quite QQ, it
When the order arrived, it was nothing like I expected. Bak Chor Mee with soup? No mushroom slices? No lettuce? I was skeptical about the plain bowl of soupy noodles with just meatballs and some minced meat.
My first bite jolted me awake. It tasted surprisingly good.
The noodles were quite QQ, it was bouncing away as I was chewing it. This texture somehow had a kick to it and got me hooked. The meatballs were good too. Although most meatballs taste similar, I'm happy that for $3 a bowl, I got 7 normal-sized meatballs which were quite satisfying (some bak chor mee stalls I eat from, serves only 2 super mini-sized meatballs with 2 tiny slices of mushroom, a little minced meat and a small piece of lettuce - not really generous with the ingredients). The soup was really tasty! The few slices of red chilli in the soup were crunchy, not spicy, and had this fresh chilli scent that somehow went quite well with the bak chor mee (to me, at least).Can't wait to go back for more!
