BAH CHOR MEE @ CHAI CHEE NOODLE VILLAGE

Chai Chee Noodle Village 菜市肉脞面 is famous for its bah chor mee (minced pork noodles) and has over 10 outlets around Singapore. The stall I patronised is located at Fu Chan Kopitiam (Blk 727 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6).

The dish consisted of mee pok (flat yellow noodle), bah chor (minced pork), sliced lean pork, sliced pig's liver, pork meatballs, lettuce, stewed shitake mushrooms and a bowl of soup with seaweed. Many people say that Chai Chee serves the best minced pork noodles. But personally I disagree, at least for this outlet. The vinegar fragrance was missing and there was not enough pork lard. Though the ingredients used were fresh and well-cooked, the overall taste was quite disappointing. Perhaps this outlet does not maintain the usual high standard.

CHAR KWAY TEOW @ HILL STREET CHAR KWAY TEOW (CHINATOWN)

This stall is located at Chinatown Food Centre #02-032. It should not be confused with the char kway teow stall of the same name at Bedok South (no relation). http://yummymatters.blogspot.com/2009/03/char-kway-teow-hill-street-char-kway.html

The dish was moist and savoury, but somehow lacked the right sweetness for char kway teow. The kway teow was too soggy for my liking and the cockles were not too fresh. The char kway teow at Bedok South is much better.
