Kim Bak Chor Mee 金肉脞面 (Balestier Road)

Bak Chor Mee $4
Kim Bak Chor Mee 金肉脞面 is a minced meat noodles (bak chor mee) stall operated by an elderly man called Mr Ng. The stall located along Balestier Road has garnered quite a fair amount of reputation on the blogsphere in this year.
Mr Ng is in the photo above. I arrived on a weekday afternoon during lunch time and waited around 10 minutes before the food was served.

The Bak Chor Mee cost $4 consisted of noodles with braised mushroom served with a bowl of soup with sliced meat, pork liver, minced meat and meatballs in it.

This bowl of mee pok was quite good. The noodles were well cooked and the sauce was tasty with a hint of hae bee (dried shrimps). I particularly liked their braised mushroom which was so fragrant.

As for the bowl of soup, it was just so disappointing. The livers were sliced too thinly and was overcooked despite me removing them from the soup earlier. The rest of the ingredients like sliced meat, meatballs and the soup was mediocre. 

I am not too sure what the hype is about as there are other better bak chor mee stalls.

These Tau Sar Piah 豆沙饼 (salty) cost just $0.60 each.

The pastry on the outside was extremely crispy and flaky (even after 2 days). With a buttery fragrant, it was  such a joy just enjoying the crust. The salty filling complemented well with the crust as a whole. It was just nice for me, not too salty. So delicious.
