Bukit Purmei Lor Mee - 70 Years Old Lor Mee Store Reopens in Bugis

 Bukit Purmei Lor Mee - Stall Front

I have long heard of Bukit Purmei Lor Mee and how many Singaporeans claim it’s the best lor mee in Singapore. I am not a die-hand fan of Bukit Purmei Lor Mee like Miss Tam Chiak, I only went there to see if this lor mee is really worthy of the hype.

Bukit Purmei Lor Mee has been around since the 1950s. It started operations in Bukit Ho Swee and later moved to Tiong Bahru and Bukit Purmei. Unfortunately, the stall owner, Uncle Teo, suffered two heart attacks and closed the stall in 2018. 

Three years later, Bukit Purmei Lor Mee has reopened in Bugis, in Cheng Yan Court coffeeshop opposite Bugis+.

Bukit Purmei Lor Mee - Menu

Bukit Purmei Lor Mee is available in $3.50, $4 and $5 portions.

Bukit Purmei Lor Mee Side

The thick gooey sauce is made with a combination of pork ribs, egg whites and five-spice powder. You will also find sliced fish cakes, braised pork belly,  char siew and ngoh hiang balls with your choice of noodles/mee. Generous amount of black vinegar, chilli and garlic completes the dish.

I like the individual ingredients but everything tastes the same when coated with the thick gooey “lor”. 

Even the famous Bukit Purmei Lor Mee has failed to convert me into a lor mee fan. I miss Wei Xiang Lor Mee in Telok Blangah Crescent Market and Food Centre.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
