Ba-chor-mee or vinegared minced pork noodles for breakfast



This is one of the most popular hawker dishes in Singapore. The place that I ate this noodles produces one of the best ba-chor-mee in Singapore. It's owned and run by 3 sisters. They work from 6:30 am till 10 pm everyday. I was told on a good day, they are able to sell 500 bowls in 3 hours. Noodles taste is very good and the sisters are friendly. I have been frequenting this stall for the last 2 years. Each bowl of noodles cost $3.50. It comes with a bowl of clear soup.
