Bukit Purmei Lor Mee

I was waiting for my friends for a meeting in Church of St. Teresa one morning when my stomach started to growl, so I walked to the coffee shop behind for breakfast. Lo and behold! So many people in the coffee shop were eating Lor Mee. I'm always attracted by stall that has long queue, it means shiok food. And after queuing for around 10 mins, I had my $3-bowl of lor mee. It's fantastic! The last time I remembered eating such a nice lor mee was many years ago at Old Airport Rd Food Centre, so this was a nice surprise.

Everything about the lor mee was good; gravy was good, there were lots of stuffs; like fish cake, char siew, some braised pork, ngoh hiang, and the crispy stuffs. The aunty also gave a generous amount of minced garlic (yumm) and vinegar. The only thing that disappointed me was that the chili was not spicy enough. But I will definitely go back there =)

You can choose 3 different sizes of bowl: $2.50, $3.00, $3.50.

Here it is:

Bagus La Mian Yong Tau Foo (Halal)

For all those health-conscious folks, you should try this stall. It's yong tau foo with a difference =). There are different types of yong tau foo("ytf" for short) you can try, the simple soup, laksa, ampang, or hakka. There are many reasons why I like this place: 

• it tastes good, and the la mian that's served with the ytf is nice too
• many choices
• they separate the fried stuff from your soup so it doesn't get soggy
• easy on the pocket, budget $5 - $10
• halal
• healthy (well, healthy is usually not the reason I choose makan place)

I first knew about this place from a friend, the stall that we went to was the one on Changi road. I think there are around 3 stalls in Singapore. I only know 2 of them. Here is the info:

Bagus La Mian Yong Tau Foo

1. 276 Changi Road Singapore 419756 (business hours: 11am-10pm daily)
2. 470 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh #02-70 Singapore 310470 (business hours: 10.30am-10pm daily)
3. Upp Serangoon Rd (near Kovan MRT, between Domino Pizza & Punggol nasi lemak)

It's quite easy to identify, just find the word "Bagus" with bright orange background.
It's not AMAZING! But it's worth to try and I will still go back there when i feel like a ytf meal.
