930am 07/03/14 ~ Escaped today from my routine morning swim at Safra with the craving for hot, soupy breakfast. And it bought me to Lor 5 Toa Payoh Blk 51 for steamy Bak Chor Mee!
来興肉脞面on the yellow signboard is an eye catcher which many wouldn't missed when you walk into the coffeeshop. Operated by 3 aunties for many years, they have their own group of fans which always made Q of waiting time of avg. 15mins and longer during lunch hours.
Served in clear hot soup topped with pig liver, minced meat, sliced pork and savoury braised mushrooms. The taste of the soup is slight savoury with the braised mushroom smell that is light on your taste bud. The sliced pork is fat-free lean meat with good texture but yet tender. Minced meat is soft and not chunky unlike many other stalls that you find minced meat in lumps. Mine had another 2 thin slice of abalone.
Over all experience is well worth the wait to cull my craving.
Coy: Lai Heng Minced Meat Mee
Add: Blk 51 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh
Cost: $3, $4, $5
Adding on to make my breakfast more filling, the small stall next to it selling traditional handmade Soon Kway, rice kway, ang ku kway and many others is being targeted. I ordered 2pcs of Soon Kway topped with Dark Sweet sauce and chilli. The skin of the kway is thin and clearly translucent, filling with tunip & dried small shrimps lightly salted tasted. It is getting rare that handmade traditional kways are made, lots of hardwork and thin margin deters many from carrying on the trade especially younger generation.
Each cost $0.80/pc.
