Many famous food places locally have pictures of celebrities adorning their small shop front.  However, not many of them have Anthony Bourdain specially making his way there to film his Singapore episode of "No Reservation", which airs on the Discovery Travel and Living Channel.  This minced pork noodle stall in the humble coffee shop along Crawford Lane is not only "best in Singapore, Johore and Batam", but good enough for international TV.

After trying Hill Street Tai Wah Pork Noodles, I have a new favourite location to satisfy my cravings for minced pork noodles.  I have reviewed mince pork noodles quite a few times on this blog.  Among the minced pork noodles that I have reviewed so far, Tai Wah wins easily.

 

The noodles are solid (in both the singlish sense that means “excellent” and the dictionary usage that means that the noodles are compact in substance).  Because of its "compact in substance" nature, the noodles have a nice texture and are chewy. Coupled with plenty of vinegar and a great chilli paste, the noodles are indeed "solid ah".

Moreover, the ingredients used for the noodles, such as the minced pork, meat balls and liver, are all  fresh, a characteristic that many hawkers have neglected for the sake of selling cheaper food.  The freshness of the ingredients has definitely added lots of goodie points to the noodles!  The noodles also come with a great soup, which adds further joy to the meal.

Thus, should you be in the area, do go Crawford Lane and try these great noodles!
