LEGENDARY Bak Chor Mee at Tai Hwa Eating House! | 13 LARGE BOWLS EATEN?! | Singapore Street Food!

In this video, we headed down to Tai Hwa eating house for their legendary 1 michelin starred bak chor mee!
When it comes to bak chor mee, nothing will ever come close, be it the portion size, the taste, the perfect amalgamation of carefully measured components.
We initially planned to have 20 bowls of the S$6.00 portion, however, sometimes things just do not go as planned. Uncle had some other idea for me.
All in all, I still managed to hit a number I am comfortable with.

Another awesome video featuring local food. I always feel BCM should be Singapore’s national dish instead of chicken rice or chilli crab. Because it’s something most of us Singaporeans have at least once a week, something that other neighbouring country dont offer and something crave-able especially after a long overseas trip. The one BCM that should represent us is without a doubt Tai Hwa. Yes it’s the vinegary type of BCM and more expensive, but the ingredients you get are of more quality than the usual $3 BCM. Easily my favourite BCM as well 🎉

[@ivanteo1973]

In the 70s most BCM in Singapore taste like this. Now Singaporeans has to queue up like this.

[@ZermattNeo]

Agreed with you sir!

[@kakaboo]

probably partly cos singapore is a multi-racial society so it would be bad to have BCM as a national dish as Muslims won't be able to enjoy them or might feel left out. Compared to chicken rice or chilli crab which every race can eat if they are prepared in their own way.

No matter how good, think I will not waste 45min or more of my life in a queue for it.

[@ZermattNeo]

Haha subjective brother

[@adrianlim8651]

Tried it once before. Super L-shaped queue as it was lunch time. But I find it okay only. I got the dry and soup one since already queue for about 11/2 hours. Soup one is nice for me compared to the dry one. Dry one very normal. If no queue I would eat it if I happens to be around that area. I won't go there specifically to queue. Eunos 5th generation bak cho mee also very long queue. Soup one is still my preferred choice. Tasty. If I have bak cho mee cravings I will head down nearer my place in the morning at a coffeeshop at Bedok 123 coffeeshop. Thanks bro for your videos. Awesome. Amazing how could you eat so much and remain so thin.😆

Thanks buddy! Gonna try Eunos one soon enough

This Crawford Lane it’s the one of only Tai Hwa BCM in SG vs various franchised around the island which belongs to Mr. Dong’s relatives n the Crawford Lane outlet (one n only genuine stall) it’s the best of the best in SG !

My favorite thing to eat whenever I'm in Singapore. This is something you rarely find in Malaysia. And if you do, it won't taste good. True SG food.

[@ZermattNeo]

Woah nice! Malaysia really don't have bcm ah

[@adjromulos]

​@@ZermattNeo Sad but true... Only have versions of it, so it's not the same. Actually, SG has lots of unique food like BCM, SG Laksa, and SG Prawn Mee. Always must kena when in SG. By the way, next if in JB, try Sang Heng Restaurant for some good Teochew Noodles (Don't forget the spare parts and balls). Also if you're into good Thunder Tea Rice and Yong Tau Fu, go to Taman Daya - Restaurant Wei Wei Food. Patiently waiting for your video on that famous JB Oyster Omellete.
