Mushroom Minced Pork Noodles

I was running a couple of errands around Bugis Juction area last Saturday and my sister recommended a food-stall nearby well-known for its minced pork noodles among local Singaporeans. So we popped by for a quick lunch and it was so tasty that I took some pictures despite being famished 🙂

There are a few useful Singaporean dialect – Hokkien terms you should learn for this dish:
To differentiate between the various types of noodles, much like how you would select pasta, you have a choice of :-
(a) Thin yellow egg noodles (like angelhair or spaghetti) – Mee Kia
(b) Flat yellow egg noodles (like linguine) – Mee Pok

To order your minced pork noodles (Bak Chor Mee):-
(a) Dry (with a separate bowl of soup) – Da
(b) With Chilli – Ai Hiam
(c) Without Chilli – Mai Hiam

🙂 To be honest, that’s all the Hokkien words I know in addition to “It’s raining!” (Lok Ho), “Thanks” (Gum Siah) and ‘Have you eaten?” (Jiak Bao Buay) from my old neighbours.

I ordered the mee pok da (with a little bit of chilli but without the dash of black vinegar). Very tasty 🙂

The noodles were done just right, springy not overcooked till the state of soggy, seasoned with the right amount of oil + chilli + soy sauce. They even braised their mushroom separately as toppings as well deep fried pork lard 🙂

I know, I know, some of you might be reading this with horrified expressions, but it’s always the unhealthy bits that add flavor ;p. I do believe that it wouldn’t taste as nice without it.

Adjoining the noodles stall is a Bak Kut Teh (Peppered Pork Ribs soup). I personally prefers the herbal soup base but this is pretty decent too.
