A traditional noodle dish made fancier.
It's not hard to notice that Minced Pork Bros, just a few stalls away from Roast Paradise, sports a somewhat similar signboard as the latter. That's because this bak chor mee (minced pork noodles) stall is a spin-off from its popular roast meats big bro that has been around in the same food centre for years.
The proposition of this new bak chor mee stall is clear: to reinvent this classic Singaporean noodle dish and make it even better. And somehow it did.
Along with the seafood bak chor mee I ordered (I thought why have the usual bak chor mee when I can have a special version of it?), I chose to upscale this dish by adding some deep-fried dried sole fish for just an extra $1. And trust me, you'll want to do this too, cos that added so much more flavour to it.
The seafood bak chor mee was really good. Noodles were springy and well seasoned, and that scoop of salmon roe was a differentiator. Not only did it add a pleasant tinge of saltiness and umaminess to the noodles, but also a playful mouthfeel when I pressed my tongue against them to "pop" them in my mouth. And of course, the salmon roe also made the entire bowl of noodles more "Instagrammable".
Love the plump fish dumpling too, as lots of yummy fish paste oozed out when I eagerly sank my teeth into it. Yummy yum yum! And the soup that came with the noodles was very good too.
My only grouse is the tiny, cutesy scallop... I mean, I would pay more for a bigger scallop, if I'm given the option. And I'm pretty sure that that would be the icing on the cake, if it happens.
This is an excellent bak chor mee on many counts. But I really do hope that they will upsize the scallop by the next time I'm there. I promise, I'll pay for it!
