Da San Yuan - Bak Chor Mee @ Yishun Park Hawker Centre

My intention is to check out 51 Minced Meat Noodle but I had mistaken Da San Yuan for it instead. I did not counter check the stall's name or unit number on the list in my phone but assumed this was the correct one when I saw bak chor mee available on the menu.

Da San Yuan sells fish ball noodle, mini pot noodle, bak chor mee and laksa. Since bak chor mee was what I came for, I ordered a bowl and opted for mee pok.


The bak chor mee ($4.50) come with the usual minced meat, fish cake, stewed mushrooms, lettuce and two different kinds of balls in the soup. 

I enjoyed having stewed mushrooms in my bak chor mee but there are only two thin slices of it in the bowl. To make matters worse, the mushroom slices did not absorb the stew like a sponge because there is no bursting of juices when I chewed on them.

They probably have not been reconstituted long enough thus not as succulent as I would like. 

Thankfully, they make up for the lack of mushrooms with a generous serving of fresh minced meat which clung onto the strands of mee pok with every mouthful. 


In the bowl of flavorful soup were an oddly shaped fish ball filled with fish roe and a pork ball with pork filling. This two balls together with fish ball, formed the Chinese name of this stall Da San Yuan (大三圆).


This is the fish ball with fish roe in it. As I took a bite, I could feel the tiny roe spreading all over my tongue but that's about it.


The pork filling in the pork ball is quite substantial but honestly, I do not find them any particularly tasty.

Instead of these fancy balls, I would rather have pig's liver and pork slices.
