12 Best Bak Chor Mee in Singapore to Satisfy Your Tastebuds [2024]

A direct Teochew translation of “minced meat and noodles”, Bak Chor Mee (肉脞面) is a uniquely Singaporean dish that typically comprises of mee pok or mee kia, minced pork, pork slices, stewed mushrooms, liver and pork lard.

The highlight of the dish; however, has got to be the chilli-vinegar sauce that is used to toss the noodles and give it that signature salty and tangy flavour.

A highly underrated dish as compared to Chicken Rice or Chilli Crab, the best bak chor mee in Singapore is highly debatable amongst foodies—but we have here 12 spots that have passed our test (and might just pass yours!)

1. My Father’s Minced Meat Noodles

Having taken over the stall from his father, Aaron is the humble and friendly chef helming My Father’s Minced Meat Noodles.

Exceptionally passionate and dedicated to the craft of making a stellar bowl of bak chor mee, reviews talk about the palatable soup, springy noodles and flavourful meatballs.

Many customers feel that the stall is highly underrated for its consistent quality and taste!

2. Li Yuan Mee Pok

For Bak Chor Mee with a Japanese twist, head over to Li Yuan Mee Pok for their Miso Mee Pok (Dry) or Char Siew Miso Mee Pok (Dry).

Despite being a fusion bak chor mee spot, it still retains many of the same elements that make a great BCM. Each bowl comes with minced meat, pork slices, pork meatballs, abalone mushroom slices, stewed mushrooms and plenty of pork lard!

Reviews talk about the appetizing char siew and fresh ingredients, generous portions and highly addictive sauce! Many customers also recommend trying the Teochew Dumplings Soup.

3. 58 Minced Meat Mee

Not to be confused with the minced meat noodles at Bedok 85, 58 Minced Meat Mee is the place to go for soup-based BCM.

4. Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

As the oldest bak chor mee stall in Singapore with origins dating back as far as 1932, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle is where you can get Michelin-worthy meals for under 10 bucks.

Because of the long queues, they operate using a queuing system where you take a queue number and line up accordingly. The biggest portion size comes at $10 where you get to tuck into a bowl of noodles dressed in chilli sambal, black vinegar, fish sauce and pork lard. There is also fried ti poh (fish sole) in the dish which gives it that extra burst of flavour.

Reviews talk about the quality bowl of noodles and ingredients that is perfectly complemented with meat that is cooked just right. The Kway Teow soup is also highly recommended.

Note: Those who don’t like to queue or wait for their food might want to try another spot.
