Mui Siong Bak Chor Mee – Delicious, Umami, Livery

Mui Siong’s Tampines franchise is situated in an air conditioned coffeeshop. The premises are pretty clean & well ventilated.. In fact, I was quite cold when I was there ‘cos it was raining heavily outside. But I’d imagine the aircon would be good respite from the usual sweltering heat outdoors, on other days.

Bak Chor Mee

My honest verdict: Sibeh shiok. Especially in this cold weather.

This $5 Minced Meat Noodles gives you a good portion of noodles, tossed in a deliciously balanced ratio of vinegar & chilli. It is oily enough to lubricate the noodles without leaving an icky film all over your mouth.

Plenty of Liver in Umami Soup

The star of this, though, as everyone says, is the ingredients & soup. The liver needs no introduction – thiccccc AF, & lovingly cooked to soft perfection. Best of all, ’tis without a hint of gameyness or the powdery mouthfeel you get from overcooking. The pork slices, balls, & minced meat were all satisfactory as well. & as for the soup? You’ll be lapping up all its umami goodness, leaving no drop behind.

Fei Chang Hao – Ribbon-style Chee Cheong Fun

You Tiao Rice Roll with Additional Egg

Fei Chang Hao 妃肠好 serves ribbon-style Chee Cheong Fun, which I find quite unique in Singapore. I followed them to their new location at Food Haven Coffeeshop (5 Upper Boon Keng Rd, #01-22), from their original location in Boon Keng Market where I first fell in love with them.

Priced affordably & substantial in quantity, I went for the You Tiao Rice Roll 炸两肠粉 ($3.90 nett) today. I paid extra (+$0.50 nett) to add an egg just ‘cos it compliments it well. This was a good portion for a tea-time snack, having had brunch in the late morning & I was feeling peckish before dinner time.

I really like the silky smooth texture of the CCF, which is consistent across their other options as well – as it should. The sauce was enough to dip each piece around without drowning the whole dish. Iirc, they used to be a Burpple Beyond merchant – but I’d willingly pay full price for this. & you know I’d return again… & again.
