Bak Chor Mee can be literally translated from the Teochew dialect to mean minced meat and noodles. The dish was originally a soup dish consisting of minced pork in broth served with mee pok (flat egg noodles) or mee kia (thin egg noodles). The dry version of the dish was later introduced to meet the demands of consumers. It consists of noodles tossed in vinegar, pork lard, as well as chill. A small bowl of soup is also usually served on the side.
However, it is worth noting that this uniquely Singaporean dish is often a cause of debate among friends, with each one expressing that their favourite Bak Chor Mee Stall is the best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore. So today, we end all debates (or spark new ones). We will look at the 10 best bak chor mee stalls in Singapore!
1. Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim Mee Pok

Highlights:
- Power-packed chilli
- Generous portions
- Affordable prices
Jalan Tua Kong Ah Lim Mee Pok is a bak chor mee stall in Singapore that is widely raved about over social media. The noodles that are served by this stall are also cooked perfectly: it is not too hard or soft. The sauces that are mixed into the noodles give the bowl an overall balance that makes you want more.
The bowl of noodles is topped with many side dishes such as fishballs, fishcakes, and some pieces of meat. For higher-priced options, you get more of the same ingredients as well as additional toppings like prawns.
To many of its customers, the star of this dish is the chilli that is extremely powerful. As a spice lover, the normal amount of chilli that they put into their noodles is already quite spicy! So, take caution and do not ask for too much chilli thinking that it would be mild like other stalls! Although it is spicy, it is also extremely rich and flavourful. It also gives the dish a great kick and kicks up the flavours by a notch.
It is also worth noting that even when you take away this dish to have it at home at a later time, the noodles did not lump together and still tasted great.

2. Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

Highlights:
- 1 Michelin Star Bak Chor Mee In Singapore
- Fresh ingredients
- Cooked to order
If we go back to 5 to 10 years ago, we would never expect a humble bak chor mee stall in Singapore to be awarded a 1 Michelin Star. In fact, the owner of Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle himself is surprised. Because of this, you would have to expect to queue for at least an hour before you can get your hands on this bowl of noodles.
But if you do queue for it, what you get is a delightful bowl of al dente springy noodles tossed in a savoury and vinegary sauce. The bowl is filled with tender pork and liver slices, minced pork, dumplings, as well as some fried sole fish.
Prices start from $6, and the more you pay the more ingredients you will be served. One great advice that many customers will tell you is that you should head down early and try as much as possible to bee the “dabao” queue: people who order 10 over packets per order! All in all, this stall serves a quality bowl of noodles and definitely deserves the recognition and awards that it is getting.
