Gu Zao Wei Teochew Minced Meat Noodle
Parklane BCM aka Bras Basah BCM
@ Epic Haus Yishun Blk 101

*PSA - Shop will be closed for reno from the 31st Oct 2024 to early December 2024.
Please see picture in post.

Came here today, a Sunday morning (about 11.45am), queued for a bit and having my very flavourful bowl of teochew styled bcm at 12.10pm.

A few differences from the Bras Basah version I had
- no braised garlic (only got the raw one
- no dang cai in my soup (but they have dang cai in store. Probably for other variants and not bcm?)

Check out all the ingredients in this $5.50 minimum bowl of BCM made by a young, english speaking gentleman (Second Gen Owner), who confirmed the association with Bras Basah:
- Braised pork skin
- Meatball
- Pork lard (nicely sized)
- Fishcake
- Fried sole fish
- Fishball
- Fish dumpling
- Teochew dumpling
- Soup well sprinkled with parsley and spring onion
- Raw garlic (free to take condiment)

Add ons available:
- small/big bowl of pig skin or pig trotters or mixed

Wanted to add the pig trotters, but they were out. Probably need to come earlier if you want to try the add ons.

A very very flavourful bowl of BCM, and the consistent queue shows the number of customers who likes their bcm with the 'works'.

Garlic breath at work the next day...totally worth it

Gimee Face BCM (branch) located at AMK 339, used to open till 3 am, but now closes at 9.30pm.

Still ok for late dinner but no longer a supper location.

I must add that one thing I really like about this store; that regardless of the person prepping the noodles, you always know that the sauce is well measured to give consistent flavours for that dry BCM.

One notable change is the texture of the meatball. Its exterior has become really smooth, and its not because of my phone camera filter 😆

2 kinds of mushroom, but still prefer the braised kind to the canned button mushrooms.
Do request for no liver if you're no liver lover.
For the liver lovers, they even serve a dish that is just liver.

$4.80 for the standard bcm.
Stating price for comparisons down the road.

Re-starting my BCM post with this old brand, not around the block.

Lam's abalone noodle is the splurge for bak chor mee without the burn to the wallet.
Where can you get abalone (not the imitation kind) with bak chor mee at less than $8! It comes with soft boiled egg too on top of the usual minced meat, sliced meat and nicely cooked mee pok. No liver, and no need liver.

They don't do ketchup, so it was chilli and vinegar for today. Their de la pok was very 'fresh' and crispy too.

So many other add ons that you can try in addition to the bcm. Good for family with different palates. The chicken with pasta was surprisingly good.

A good start to the weekend and a good restart for BCM write ups.
