The Only Michelin-Starred Hawker Stall in Singapore

During this trip to Singapore, I visited many hawker stalls as usual. Most of them were quite good, but I couldn't miss the famous Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle. Hill Street Tai Hwa is the only street food in Singapore that has earned a Michelin star, which speaks volumes about its quality. Although the stall is not located in a tourist area but hidden within a residential neighborhood, it's still common to see long queues during holidays or weekends. If, like me, you hate waiting, visit during non-peak hours on weekdays. The menu is very simple, offering only two types of noodles and two side dishes (the side dishes, dried fish and meatballs, are actually ingredients in the noodles), so there's no need to worry too much about what to order. Just decide whether you want soup noodles or dry noodles. They use thick noodles that don't have an alkaline taste but instead have a slight vinegar aroma. The toppings include pork balls, pork liver, pork slices, dried fish, small wontons, and minced meat. I particularly love the crispy dried fish, but the most important ingredient is the pork lard, which adds a lot of flavor to the noodles. The noodles also come with a small bowl of seaweed soup, which makes the meal less dry. To be honest, it's not an extraordinary dish, just a traditional and authentic flavor. I also ordered a bowl of meatball soup. The small pork balls have a texture that I like. I'm increasingly fond of Teh Tarik, the local pulled tea, which is fragrant and sweet enough. For me, it even surpasses Hong Kong-style milk tea, which is quite an exaggeration! Despite being a Michelin-starred stall for many years, its Google rating is quite low. Sometimes, you really have to try the food yourself to see if it suits your taste. Restaurant Information: Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle 466 Crawford Ln, #01-12, Singapore 190465
