\"BestBak chor mee is the most under-rated Singaporean food. Whenever I go for a long trip\u00a0and return to Singapore, bak chor mee is the first food I’d eat because you can’t find BCM\u00a0anywhere else in the world<\/strong>, not even Malaysia. It is, I believe, the only\u00a0uniquely Singapore dish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although BCM originated from\u00a0a soup version, I don’t like soupy noodles–Singapore is so hot, still drink soup, siao bo<\/em>?–which means this list will not have the 3 stalls at 85\u5df4\u5239<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also prefer mee pok to mee kia, because the former gives a better mouthfeel. So I ordered mee pok for most stalls, unless the stall is famous for mee kia.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to judge individual parts of BCM\u00a0because the parts are small; so this Teochew dish is judged on its harmony, and balance of ingredients, spice, and black vinegar.<\/p>\n

In order of ranking, from least favorite to the best bak chor mee in Singapore…<\/p>\n

It was a joy watching the Japanese cook perform the cooking–a precise, sharp flicking movement at a precise timing. And the texture in this bowl was AMAZING. I had never eaten noodles like this before. A clean bite. In fact, every item’s texture was fantastic. Even the 5 slices of abalone, which I never liked at hawker stalls, had a marvellous bouncy bite and was so sweet–it was inconceivable how he could have made cheap abalone taste like it was expensive!<\/p>\n

I got the $10 crayfish bak chor mee, because I already queued for half an hour, why go for normal? Like everything else in the bowl, the crayfish was cooked precisely, just at the right moment: the outside white, the inside slightly translucent–such a great texture. And in between the crayfish, he stuffed lots of minced meat, and lots of LARD, to flavor the light crayfish. $10 for crayfish, 5 meatballs, 5 slices of abalone – worth it!<\/p>\n

This stall should and could have been #1 but the reason it isn’t is because I find the taste subdued and tame and robotic, like it could have been produced by machines.
