The first stall in this area that sell soup base bak chore mee is now at 511 Bedok north, nam tian xing. They originally started out 1960 at old chai chee cinema then move to demolished chai chee market and then finally move to 511 Bedok north. Standard have drop tremendously recently , portion ridiculously tiny for $3. Even my puny 5 year can take 1.5 bowls. Noodles now have a very alkaline taste, kiao or dumpling comes in a clump. And in the 60s - 80s there is no pork ball only kiao or dumpling. Now stall owner all lazy just throw pork ball.
As for seng hiang (corner stall) at 85 they only converted to selling soup base bak chore mee in the early 80s and the ah poh bak chore mee at the middle near chai chee porridge at 85 is the brother in law to seng hiang . They have a branch over at 16 Bedok south and tampines round market. Also portion is pathetically tiny. No dumpling only pork ball. I suggest give all the three stall at 85 a miss. Cos it's the obvious case of the first not being the best.
As for soup based bak chore mee, I found that at 58 Bedok south market have two stall back to back selling the same style bak chor mee. One in the middle have very generous portion for a $3 order, but standard of noodle , or springiness of the noodle not consistent, the order of extra noodles does cause the tau chiu to fumble. But the kilo is very original.
As for the stall 58 bak chor mee have to wait for 20 minutes and yes I would rate the noodle to be of consistent standard but the soup is rather saltish and too much lard . Plus the soup does have msg as they add fish sauce . It does not have the constant thirst problem. Whereas the others make one reach for water constantly after eating them. Still this stall is the better stall out of the two in 58 market and these 2 stall is far better then the 3 in 85 and the 511 .
