Bak chor mee, as I learned, is a true Singaporean dish. There are many similar dishes in parts of China and Malaysia, but the real bak chor mee is, from what many say, a true Singaporean food. So I was excited to try it for the first time. Since I was staying not too far from Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles, which happens to be one of the most legendary hawkers selling the dish, Ying and I decided to try it one afternoon. To my surprise, the line wasn’t very long when we arrived, and there were just about 5 people waiting in line in front of me. So it only took about 5 minutes before I got my bowl of noodles.
Bak chor mee, which is also called pork noodles, includes yellow egg noodles, which are tossed in a sauce of oil and chilies and vinegar, and then topped with a variety of different pork ingredients like minced pork, liver, and in this case a couple of meatballs and some wanton dumplings, and finished off with some green onions. I added in a few spoonfuls of diced bird eye chilies to the side of my bowl to kick the heat up a notch as well.
After mixing up the noodles and all the sauce, I took a bite of my first bowl of bak chor mee. I’m a huge egg noodle lover, so I immediately enjoyed the egg noodles, which were slightly chewy and fresh. I also enjoyed the sauce, which was slightly spicy from the sambal and chilies, and especially balanced nicely with vinegar to give it a sour touch. It was similar to a bowl of wanton mee, but it had a different taste to it as well. I can’t really speak for other days and how busy Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles will be, but on a weekday in the middle of the afternoon, it wasn’t bad at all. And they serve a bowl of noodles that I think are worth making a queue for.

Seeing him react to Singaporean food like how he reacts to many other delicacy around the world somehow makes me feel proud to be a Singaporean :) Thanks Mark for coming to Singapore!
+omgyessssssss Thank you, loved the food in Singapore!

Thanks to Mark I've been crying at every meal from all the chilis I've been adding to my meals.
This is my favorite Singaporean food. Always looking forward to eating this in one the hawker centers.
your an inspiration for people who want to travel around the world and eating difference dishes
Thanks for vlogging this Mark! Actually this is my favorite food in Singapore. You made my day complete... :)
My late wife and I had an opportunity to visit Singapore when we were in Hong Kong about 30 years ago and we didn't go. Now, I am kicking myself. Always do the things that you want when your have the chance. Someday is too late.
Mark, enjoy your videos as always! I admire your passion for life and your thirst for new experiences. Keep living large young man! Best wishes to you and Ying.
Awesome video, Mark!! Your passion for what you do always comes across and your positivity is infectious!! Can't wait to see the rest of this series, Big Guy!!! Take care.

Hello Mark and Ying!
One of my favorite dishes, you can not go wrong with a good bowl of Bak Chor Mee, or noodle ever. I can eat noodle ore noodle soups every day.
As always, a great video. Unfortunately, a bit short.
I look forward to each new video.
Keep it up !!
+joschi jogi Thank you Joschi!
Thanks for your videos! After watching your videos, I've become a little more adventurous when ordering or even trying new restaurants.
+tweeotch Great to hear that, thanks!
You really tried all the local delicacies in Singapore omg. I miss Singapore): (I'm in la) thanks for the videossssss!!!!! :3
Hey mark i really love the way you express the first taste of food
Remember going to Singapore and not once going to a regular restaurant! Food stalls all the way!!! Singapore has fabulous food.
I absolutely love Bak Chor Mee = Minced Pork Noodles!
Great video Mark!
The sourness is actually from Chinkiang Black Rice Vinegar which to me is like a stronger more robust version of the western Malt Vinegar. I always douse my noodles with it and spam loads of extra sambal and chilli slices on it.
YES it is one of my favourite noodle in Singapore. I used to have it everyday when they are at Bestway Building.
I can't describe how good the noodles look. Thanks for sharing Mark!
+Dany Kao Thanks Dany!
Awesommy much!
It was a surprise to me that u had conquered this as well, because this was also only inside the "Food-Dictionary" of the true locals! :D
Yeap, that's my best place for Bak Chor Mee & u were really really really really lucky to have just merely wait for 5 mins! ^^
+ong daniel Thanks Daniel!
Thanks Mark, awesomeness video is released🎆🎇🙌🙋
Mark definitely loves his spicy food. If the food has some heat to it, he gives his unique signature move to it - demonstrating how he really digs it. Otherwise its just a vigorous head nod. Mark you need to add more though - just to help us avoid it if its really horrible. Last thing I want to do is buy something I won't enjoy.
Omg this is one of my favotie every time when I travel in Singapore! I'm gonna go crazy watching this! >< (mouth already watering)
Welcome to singapore, Mark!! Enjoy your stay!
This looks so tasty, Mark...your video's always make me hungry! Can't wait for more Singaporean food ^_^
+Pieter Nelissen Thanks Pieter!
That looks so amazing. I absolutely love your videos !!!
+rabidangel Thanks!
I am always watching your video Mark Just absolutely Amazing
1min 25 sec of the video there is a newspaper clipping at the glass panel which translates to the stall being so famous ,people even cut the queue for it,resulting in a fight between two men .Mark looks like you made a great choice in dining here.
Gosh, it looks so delicious. You forgot to mention there were some slices of pork liver in the bowl too. Thank you for posting the video. I love all your video clips.
that bowl of delicious looking noodle is making me drool...
Yay!4M now congrats!you totally deserve it😃😍👍
I can tell Mark isn't that thrilled with this dish. 6/10
Even though it's 6$ I know dang sure I will still get it because I've never had anything like that in the US. It looks so mouth-watering and delicious. A very unique dish and worth every ounce of the experience.
Mary Kim exactly! Pay $6 ad I know I am contented or pay $3.50 and then tell myself why do I even waste my time?
Really enjoy your videos mark!
Mark and Ying, enjoy your stay in Singapore! And Happy Early Chinese New Year !! :)
+Tammy Tomlinson Thanks Tammy, Happy Chinese New Year!
Love your attitude and everything you do, Mark!

Love watching this when I'm starving.
dear mark , we dont get this dishes in india, really envy you , good work dear, keep it up
Mark's trademark move: if the food is nice, close your eyes and move to the side
That looks really good!
I have a suggestion Mark, I really would appreciate it if you write down the recipes for the best dishes that you eat especially Thai dishes.
Thank you for everything !
+Ana Ana Hey Ana, thank you. I will try to do more Thai recipes.
love your work!!
+Catalina Betancur Thank you Catalina
In Singapore and Malaysia, we tend to add vinegar with sauces to egg noodles (ba-mee variety). It is suppose to contrast and brighten the flavours of the egg noodles. And wanton skins loves to absorb sauces, so it would have soaked up the vinegar. :P
+Luo Yanjie Thank you Luo!
the amount of chili you took and eat is just way beyond what I (who happens to be a fan of hot/spicy food) could take. I can take a good amount of chili but you, Mark, took it to another level! hahahaha Hope to see you at the airport since I work there.
Ive never tried those kind of noodles before but it sure looks darn good!
+paradis3ra Egg noodles are fantastic. In this video the looked "just" cooked and made from dry batch. Needed another minute.
i really2 like your videos mark, help me to choose my destination of vacation
Ahh!! that bowl of noodles is priceless 😌🍜
one of the best bak chor mee in sg!
I love this noodle stall ❤
I waited more than half an hr today for my bak chor mee. Price has increased. $6, 8 and 10. I ordered $8 since i lined up for more than half an hr. It was good as the meat was very fresh. But i think it tasted better during the 80s when everything was more cheaper. Maybe about $2
thank you for all Videos dear Mark. Liebe Grüße aus Neuanlagen (Germany)
Mark, this noodle stall earned 1 Michelin star now.
So expensive but i really do love bak chor mee!awesome!haha!Time for some Hainanese Chicken Rice!
Go to a mall and have a bowl of ramen for $18 and you find here cheaper bro
@@malibumondsg74 agree!
Looks so good.
Oh! Bak Chor Mee looks really delicious! My type of egg noodle! Very nice egg noodle soup! Looks perfect!~
+Honey Pie (paye) Thanks!
