Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle is losing its lustre

[True Believer]

As a Bak Chor Mee fan of Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle from my primary school days, I know why it has been hailed as SG’s best BCM. However, after receiving a Michelin Star 9 years ago, their prices keep going up while the quality of their noodles and fresh ingredients do not seem to be maintaining the once high standards that I am used to. During my last few visits to this stall at Crawford Lane, I ended up disappointed at both the portion size and price of my BCM. Like many once famous eateries, the stallholders seem to have problems ensuring that there is no drop in quality, even as their prices keep soaring.

On shithole island, what's written on the signboard is no longer an accurate reflection of its geographical location. Many examples out there.

P.S: Michelin is the kiss of death for any F&B business.

I have to order the $10 bowl of BCM these days from Tai Hwa Pork Noodle to enjoy a filling meal. The $8 small bowl hardly tickles my stomach. This stall no longer serves $6 portions.

The things being sold are the same. It's just the purchasing power of your precious Sinkie dollars has been declining.

Not enough if your chai png is bought from a mall's food court. At least you get a printed paper receipt, you should feel proud of yourself.

Tai Hwa's cousin Tai Wah has franchises all over S'pore. Their prices are $5, $7 and $9 for their BCM. The ingredients are roughly the same, but the one noticeable difference is that the soup by Tai Wah is not as tasty.

I hope you are referring to a sizeable piece of fish, and not the ikan bilis or a piece of fish fillet consisting of mostly flour.

The $4 'kosong' BCM from Ghim Moh Hawker Centre.

It’s never had any lustre to begin with.
Stewpig goondus queue for hours coz of the deliberate slowpoke.
Vile man that sued his own nephew
Kudos to the nephew now doing chain stall grew bigger than him.
Idiot idea of expanding is opening a stall next to his own in same coffeshop run by daughter but no ones wants to eat there
Chop carrot head prices take customers as fools

There was no queue when I went to Tai Hwa several times at around 11 am, which is my usual early weekday lunch time to avoid the office crowd. I guess many regulars voted with their wallets after he started charging $8 for his smallest bowl of BCM.

Tai Hwa's daughter's stall in the same coffee shop does not even have a queue of diners. LOL!
