Pork Ball Noodle with Soup ; worth a Michelin Star in my book



In this little block 727 at Clementi West Street 2 on the ground floor is this pork noodle stall called Hua Chun. Unfortunately there is no English name on the sign but it is right in the middle of the small coffeeshop and it serves AWESOME Pork Ball Noodles. 

The elder gentleman (presumably the father) does a great job every morning tossing the noodles in the boilling soup while the son and daughter - in - law, prepares the soup and the ingredients. 

They have 2 sizes ; small for S$ 4 (EU 2.5)  and large for S$ 5 (EU 3.0). I normally opt for the small noodle and there are verious types of noodles. The skinny one (like spaghettini)  is called Mee Kia, the flat yellow one (like fettucini) is called Mee Pok and the round yellow one is called Sit Mee.


Voila ! Le petit dejouner cest magnifique 

The presentation is quite unique and the soup with all the ingredients, crab stick, a couple of fish balls, pork balls, minced pork, an egg, lettuce, spring onions and toss in some shallots for garnishing.

For me, I have tasted many Bak Chor Mee (Pork Ball Noodle Soup) in this Island Food Paradise and this is got to be at the very top in the Pork Ball Noodles category ; the noodles are cooked in 3 - 4 minutes with rapid tossing in the boiling water, so if there is a queue of say 5 people, expect to wait at least 15 minutes as each person may order more than one bowl. Some people order for their office colleagues or family, so they will 'tar pao' or take away in clear plastic bags.

Nothing beats the Bak Chor Mee eaten freshly cooked Al Dente and firm to the bite. 

You can choose 'spicy' with chilli oil, pork lard bits (the fitness and purists are pooh poohing upon reading this), sesame oil and some light soya sauce for seasoning. 

Shiok !!! 

Michelin people have not tried this stall I am sure !
