20 Best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore For a Slurping Good Time

The only bak chor mee in Singapore that’s been consistently earning a Michelin star since 2016, come ready to wait an hour for your bowl of noodles, possibly even more during peak hours! Founded in 1939, you can instantly recognise the family-owned brand by its snaking queue. The dry mee pok are tossed in an incredibly nuanced sauce, perfectly complemented by fresh slices of pork and liver. The crunchy pieces of fried sole fish and dumplings also add a distinctive bite and give the dish a lot more texture.

True to its name, Famous Eunos Bak Chor Mee is, well, famous. Founded in 1923, it is quite possibly the very first bak chor mee in Singapore, with its founder arriving from Chaoshan and selling his noodles from a bamboo pole in Kampong Chai Chee. Today, the business is helmed by the fifth-generation! Coating the noodles was a savoury, garlicky and lard-laden sauce, with a subtle whiff of vinegar and mild spiciness. This version of bak chor mee does not come with pork slices, liver or meatballs and instead features a heaping of chunky minced meat, while the soup version also has handmade dumplings in it.

Not to be mistaken with Tai Hwa, Tai Wah Pork Noodle is just as commendable, having received the Michelin Bib Gourmand award. We should mention that the two stalls are affiliated, as the two owners are brothers that have inherited the same recipe from their father. Now helmed by the third-generation, Tai Wah’s noodles still retains its vinegary kick and springy noodles with minced meat, pork slices, and liver. The soup is just as flavoursome here and you can expect a hearty serving of dumplings, meatballs and seaweed in it!

Said to be the best bak chor mee on this side of Singapore, 58 Minced Meat Noodle at Taman Jurong Food Centre is almost 50 years old.They are famous for their garlicky and robust pork broth with springy noodles and a generous serving of pork slices, liver and lard. And rather than the typical braised mushrooms, you’d find sliced canned champignons and sauteed shiitake in the dry version. Similar to other stalls, you’ll also be served a bowl of the meaty soup so you won’t miss out on its heartwarming broth!

Although the bak chor mee at Macpherson Minced Meat Noodles is no longer cooked by its founder and the business is now helmed by its disciples, the stall clearly has not lost any of its popularity.

Besides bak chor mee, the stall also has a following for their fish ball noodles, chicken feet noodles, and xiao wan mian!
