A 100 years old Legacy: Famous Eunos Bak Chor Mee - Food Stories

Bak Chor Mee was founded by Mr Chen Lian Fu in the 1920s, served on a 2-basket-hawker. It has then became a significant meal choice for majority of the Singapore population. Growing up as a descendant of an almost 100 years old hawker trade, Jie Wei abandoned his corporate career to continue the legacy of Mr Chen Lian Fu, serving delicious soup and dry based Bak Chor Mee. Little did we know that most of the soup based Bak Chor Mee was descended from the same ""hero"".

I grew up in bedok. My mum grew up in Chai Chee and once worked for the orginal founder of this BCM stall. Ate my first bowl of BCM more than 35 years ago and if u grew up in Bedok, nobody sold dry versions. To us BCM is a soup dish. It was only in the 90s that dry BCM became popular.

Same 40 years ago i had this in Chai Chee market and one in Jalan Tua Kong coffee shop name "Xiao Er Da", it is superb. But now the standard of the so call BCM has dipped alot. The one in Bedok, changed the mee to a thicker version and the whole taste is totally different.

So happy to see another youngster willing to continue their family business in hwaker center. I miss the 85 BCM but i stay too far so rarely got to try this version. Look forward to try this stall soon.

Similar bcm, but dumplings instead of meatballs. Just as delicious, one of the few bcm that getting soup is a must

Growing up back then, there was no BCM dried version. The influence of certain flavors from China changed the BCM profile to the dried version and vinegar was also added to it.

A bedok resident once told me that bedok people only eat at 511 while the rest of Sg goes to 85. Tried both if u like wow factor, long long time then eat once then go for 85 and if u wanna eat it on a daily basis, go for 511.

I didn't know of this outlet. Only ate at Bedok 85 as I used to stay there when I was young. Had never ever tried dry version coz the soup one is delicious enough. May I know if all 3 stalls in bedok belong from the same ancestor? The third one Ah Poh at Bedok 85 as well as the stall at Chinatown with open space seating? I miss having the bcm with wanton rather than the pork balls.

@@geeeforce starting pay is just one small component of the AVERAGE lifetime earning potential of an average uni vs average poly grad. Nothing wrong if one chooses to go to poly instead of uni, but stating that higher education has no tangible earning benefits for the average graduate is factually wrong. Studies show that on average, college graduates make 30-70% more lifetime earnings than non-graduates. You are entitled to your own opinions but not to your own facts.

Why all this so called educated singaporeans going into the hawker trade after their parents spend lots of money sending them to universities , doesnt make sense....every video i see interviewing these individuals, they will always boast first that they are doctors, engineers , ceo or whatever, like they are afraid people do not know they used to be "highflyers" ... i was wondering if because they cant make in the coporate world and use these " to continue and save the family hawker legacy" as an excuse.
