Legendary bak chor mee by the famed hunchbacked hawker at Onan Road.
Dunman Bak Chor Mee is one of Singapore's most storied hawker stalls, known not just for its exceptional minced pork noodles but for the remarkable hawker behind it — Madam Ang Choon Lan, the hunchbacked auntie whose dedication to her craft has made her a local legend. Operating from a small unit on Onan Road since 2019, she serves an unusual take on bak chor mee that has drawn media attention from CNA, 8days and food bloggers alike. The noodles are tossed in a vinegary, chilli-laced sauce that sings with every slurp, topped with a generous spread of minced pork, pork slices, liver and mushrooms. What makes this stall special is the combination of bold, tangy flavour and the deeply personal story of a hawker who refuses to let physical challenges stop her from doing what she loves. The stall has no signboard — word of mouth and the queue tell you everything. The portions are generous, and the taste is unforgettable, with the vinegar-chilli combination hitting a balance that keeps devotees coming back. For bak chor mee with heart, history and a truly unforgettable taste, Dunman Bak Chor Mee is a must-visit. It is hawker spirit, served one plate at a time.
Wanted to support Auntie again but price for Bak Chor Mee is now $6 a bowl for a portion that probably too small for most guys. Taste-wise has not improved from the last time I ate, and texture was a bit too soggy as well. I think I will go for $4.50 fishball noodles next time if I want to support auntie. Sorry..

Tucked away in the corners of Dunman Food Center is an unassuming Bak Chor Mee & Fishball Noodles stall run by a sweet elderly lady. For $6, you can expect a bowl of well cooked noodles with a good helping of lean pork slices, minced meat, mushrooms, sinful chunks of pork lard, topped with two slices of fried sole fish, and a small comforting bowl of clear soup with one wonton. The portion isn’t huge but it is enough to chase away the growls in your stomach. Unlike your typical BCM, the noodles were tossed in a dark, umami, slightly starchy sauce. I can’t seem to place my finger on it, but this was slightly reminiscent of the Korean black bean noodles. Different from what I’m used to, but it is by no means a bad bowl of BCM. Do give her your support :)

Not all Bak Chor Mee (BCM) are made equals and to be enjoyed on its.own right. You might need to raise your voice a little when ordering to the friendly old lady as she's a bit hard in hearing. An unassuming corner stall, I ordered a soup …
