Tai Wah Pork Noodle (大華肉脞麵), Holland Drive

Tai Wah Pork Noodle (大華肉脞麵), Holland Drive

This was a new-ish branch of Tai Wah Pork Noodle from Hong Lim - not to be mistaken with the Michelin starred Tai Hwa Pork Noodle at Crawford Lane which doesn't have other outlets. Apparently Tai Wah has started opening a few more shops recently. I came across this one (#01-39, Blk 40 Holland Drive) and decided to give them another try even though I was pretty sure I was unimpressed the time I had their bowl at Hong Lim. Here's their $7 bowl.

I enjoyed it this time. It was more vinegary than the last time I ate, had decent chilli whipped into the noodles and was overall more satisfying. Would have preferred for their wanton skin to be thinner though but it's not a deal breaker. Quick reference to Tai Hwa which makes more intense bowls and is definitely nicer in my opinion. It's also worth noting that both of them makes similar style of bak chor mee so this would be an apple-to-apple comparison.

That being said, I may no longer have the stomach/patience for the queue at Tai Hwa would gladly eat this instead.
