Better known as 'Block 85', this hawker centre in Bedok is famous across the city for one thing: the soup-based bak chor mee that’s as comforting as a snug blanket on a rainy night. Don’t believe the hype when it comes to the few stalls that sell it, though. Their differences are marginal at best.
Save some tummy room for a bowl of Chai Chee Pork Porridge’s namesake dish ($3.50). The Cantonese-style chok is almost obscenely gloopy and thick, and packed with enough liao to stop your hunger pangs. And always, always ask for a raw egg ($0.50) to be dropped into your rice.
