I can see why 58 Minced Meat Noodle is so well-loved that people from the East are willing to come to the far West to have it. Being a Westie, I wonder why it took me so long to discover this gem right in my own backyard?
面比较厚一点而有咬劲, 富有猪油与醋香。辣得也很够劲。Quite fresh. well cooked and tender minced pork, pork slices and liver. Just lacking stewed mushrooms and sole fish, to be a solid bowl. Nice, hearty and flavourful nonetheless.
Credits must also be given to the freshness of the meats, particularly the liver which is very tender.
The bak chor mee was well balanced, with the tasty sauce nicely lubricated with pork lard. All the meat were well cooked, and the liver was even crisp. Good bowl, although seriously long 20 minute queue.
The pork used was tender and i was most amazed by the deep fried pork lard; they remained crispy even though they were soaked in the soup for beyond ten minutes! Maybe i would try asking for extra pork lard the next time i visit; but the next time, i would go for their dry bak chor mee.
Yes, I liked it: they kept the noodles nice and firm, and it had just the right balance of vinegar and chili (those mushrooms tasted better than they looked too).
Bak chor mee is definitely a staple for all Singapore foodies.
