Bedok 85 is the only place on earth, I will eat Bak Chor Mee Soup.... currently.
I usually like my BCM dry, with chilli and vinegar, but bedok 85 is the exception.
Bedok 85 is Notorious for the 2 shops selling BCM Soup and situated side by side. I had both and I can't totally mix up which had a stronger taste or whatever.
But all I can say is, both are awesome. Both have garlicky Soup, both noodles were bouncy.
Just eat both, customers don't have to be loyal. Just eat whichever.
Whenever coming to Bedok at night, people usually would go for the popular bak chor mee around this neighbourhood.
Seng Hiang is one of the stall selling their signature soup bak chor mee.
Only one type of noodle they have and each bowl for small portion comes with 5 pieces of meatballs.
Tasty soup with the minced meats and chilli. Definitely a warm and comforting bowl at night.
I was very pleased to have finally eaten my favourite BCM after a long time! Somehow having it late at night seems more comforting than having it during the day. Garlicky and cloudy with bits of minced pork, the soup is very tasty and one spoonful makes you go back for another. As usual, the meatballs are the star of the show and it’s a generous serving for $4!
Couldn't decide which BCM to eat, decided to have seng hiang today.
Soup is garlicky. Taste alot nicer with chilli padi.
So many meatball, really very generous for $4 portion.
Really good bowl of BCM, easily the top 2 soupy BCM I ever eaten. The other top 2 is the next door stall.
2 of the best soupy BCM I ever tasted. And both side by side.
Fans of the soup version of bak chor mee should be no stranger to this popular stall at Bedok 85 Food Centre. This stall and the stall next to them are probably the 2 most famous soupy bak chor mee stalls in Singapore, and featured here is the one from Seng Hiang. Honestly this is just a very simple bowl of noodles, but elevated by the comforting broth and nice tasty meatballs! I’m still team dry when it comes to bak chor mee, but whenever I have cravings for the soup version, this stall is one of my go-tos.
Simple & comforting bowl of Bak Chor Mee filled with minced meat and meat balls.

This stall only offers 3 types of noodles: mee kia, kway teow and mee tai mak. The alkaline taste of the mee kia is a little strong and the noodles are a little soft for me, but the sauce is not bad - will probably opt for mee tai mak if I order the dry version ($4 for large) next time. The soup version ($5 for large), which comes with soft minced meat and tasty meat balls, is flavourful and comforting.
One of my all time favourite places for BakChorMee. The soup is very flavourful and leaves me always wanting to order another bowl. One of my go to stalls everytime I am in the area.
I love the bcm from this stall (corner stall on the first row), it’s so good everytime! Plus they implemented a buzzer system so it’s much more convenient to go off and buy other food now :D
Chewy noodles with meatballs and minced meat
Meatballs and soup were flavourful
Price: $3
Just a comforting bowl of soup BCM on a rainy night. It’s been a long time since I last ate this and the wait was about 15mins at around 9pm on a weekend night. Nothing special about this bowl of BCM as I find it a little oily and the taste of alkaline from the egg noodles was present in the soup. Minced meat used were quite fatty and the meat balls feels like those we got from the supermarket. Nonetheless, their noodles are quite springy which kinds of compensate it.
This legendary dish has always been the talking point of Bedok 85, with a few similar stalls vying for the crown. I went as a Westie with no prejudice, without reading reviews of any of the stalls, and picked this stall by random as it looked like it had no queue. I thought I was lucky, until the owner told me it was a 25-minute wait. Might as well, since I have already traveled so far.
It was pretty oily, with lots of garlic oil and the fried shallots, though I wouldn’t mind as they helped to lift the overall aroma. I can’t fathom out the reason why it’s popular, perhaps the mince pork has a higher ratio of fats to meat, which personally isn’t to my liking. The egginess of the noodles was accentuated after being soaked in the soup that tasted strongly of MSG. Nothing too special about the meatballs either. Perhaps it’s just a comfort food dish, but personally I still prefer my Bak Chor Mee dry and I wouldn’t travel specially for this.
Ordered a small bak Chor mee soup for $2.50. Was this just me or was the soup a tad plain? there’s also the other thing about soggy egg noodles...
As mentioned in my other post, I still prefer the dry BCMs, but its definitely customary to get the soup version @ Bedok 85. And if I'm there, I'll go for Seng Hiang over Xing Ji.
The broth, meatballs, bachor, they're all just more flavourful than its neighbour (not that Xing Ji is not good). I just personally prefer stronger flavours. Perhaps the Xing Ji one would bode better when I'm sick and need a comfort bowl of soup noodles? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Decided to drop by Bedok 85 Since I'm around the area! Yeap, Seng Hiang BCM is a Must Have! Reason Being, It's hard to find a Soup Version Of A Good BCM!.
•
Yeap! This BCM is definitely not a breakfast thing because it's comfort Food For those who can't sleep! They Open Till 1AM!
3$ is the biggest bowl. But still feel the portion is quite little. Soup is delicious and tasty
$2.50/$3.00
Noodles have a bouncy texture and soup is tasty. The addition of chilli pieces gives the soup a little spice.
Pictured here is the large, which still wasn’t enough cause it was just so good!! 😍😍 Meekia was springy and tasty (without the pungent alkaliney taste of some egg noodles), but even amazing noodles can get outshone by broth that is this good?? Infused with the oil of the fatty minced pork and the garlicky + lardy bits, every mouthful was a big hug for the soul 🤤🤤 Meatballs were very normal and leaves more to be desired, but definitely a very comforting bowl of soup bakchormee for supper cravings 😋😋
Always keep going back because of the soup with minced pork and bouncy meatballs 🍜 We still haven’t tried the Michelin bcm but seriously SGD6 for that? Worth it not...

Bak Chor Mee Soup (Small) SGD2.50
For those who have not tried soup Bak Chor Mee, it's really different from the usual chilli bak chor mee you can get anymore, as what matters alot is the soup brewed. This stall's soup BCM boasts a light and slight porky broth. The pork balls are the normal ones you can get from supermarkets. Overall it is a decent bowl of noodles that is worth getting for supper, as they open till rather late.
