Best bak chor mee in Singapore

Like every other best-of endeavour that one would set upon, hunting down the best bak chor mee in Singapore was not an easy task. What’s best in my opinion may not necessarily be the best in yours. Intangibles, including the sentimental value linked to a particular stall, convenience and proximity to where one stays, and such will always play a big part in determining what we feel is ‘best’.

That aside, this ubiquitous bowl of noodles can be found in almost every hawker centre and food court. Some, more than others, have made a name for themselves—Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles being the best example of this. There are also two general bak chor mee camps: soup, a la the famous Tian Nan Xing, and dry, which is what this list focuses on.
