Hill Street noodles on Crawford Lane

The name on the sign remembers the street where the Tang family started selling bak chor mee. To find the stall today, head to Crawford Lane.

A street name can outlast a change of address. Tang Joon Teo started selling minced pork noodles on Hill Street in the 1930s. His sons carried on the family business. After a stop at Marina Square, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle found a home at Block 466 on Crawford Lane.

What to look for

Bak chor mee means minced meat noodles. The dry version brings together noodles, minced pork, vinegar and chilli. The stall also serves a soup version. On a map, look for the full stall name and unit number. The names of several noodle businesses reflect their shared family history.
