Shu Heng Bi Tai Mak has a stall at Kebun Bahru Food Centre in Ang Mo Kio. This shop (#01-51 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street) is a branch and I hear these guys are good. What they're known for is their bee tai bak (老鼠粉). Or rat's tail noodle by any other name. I made a conservative choice of a bowl with mushroom, minced pork and fishball - which could be construed as a bak chor mee version of their offerings.
The minced pork sauce was outstanding - rich and umami that was sufficiently salty and had a light undertone of sweetness. Didn't escape my notice that their stewed mushrooms were tender; while I don't normally pay much attention them, these were delicious. Those crisp chunks of pork lard (猪油渣) which they dropped into the bowl were also good quality and aromatic. Bee tai bak's slurpy but that's how they normally are. Will come back.
