Homemade springy noodle laced with its unique blend of vinegar and other sauces – this is not-your-ordinary Bak Chor Mee that you can find elsewhere.

Their signature Gan Mian (S$5 for regular size) – topped with minced pork, pork meatballs, pork liver and fried salted fish is an all-rounder – absolutely worth the 1 to 2 hours waiting time.
