Seng Huat Bak Chor Mee at North Bridge Road

Bak chor mee
This is a fairly well-known bak chor mee. My first taste of it was when hubby packed home one portion for me late one eveing. I thought the bak chor mee would have gone soggy, but was amazed to find good texture still. Best of all, the noodles had soaked up lots of flavour.

So I definitely had to try them fresh one day....

They're pretty good still when served hot, but I think my heightened expectations made it less stunning an experience. The braised sliced mushrooms are especially tasty, and I'm glad they give sliced chili padi for extra kick.


Noodles stay fairly firm
The noodles do stay firm, and seem less starchy than the famous Hill Street Tai Hwa noodles. What's really good is the blend of sauces - the chili, vinegar and savoury notes complement each other well. We polished off the bowl in no time.


The stall is right inside the coffeeshop
Seng Huat has fish ball noodles too, which I shall try next time. Best of all, they are open 24 hours, so if you need a hit of bak chor mee in the wee hours of the morning, you know where to go! My only quibble is that it is really warm in that area, with so many stalls cooking and the crowded sidewalk.

  1. Open 24 hours? Wow. I wish there were more hawker food stalls opened 24/7 near my home (aside from the usual mamak/nasi kandar places).

  8. The last time I tried, it was a little ordinary, though I liked it that it was oily and wet. :D
