Meng Heng Minced Pork Noodle (明兴肉脞面): A Reliable Bak Chor Mee Favourite Opposite SAFTI

Tucked away along Upper Jurong Road, directly opposite SAFTI Military Institute, Meng Heng Minced Pork Noodle (明兴肉脞面) is the kind of humble neighbourhood bak chor mee stall that quietly earns loyalty through consistency rather than hype. This is a place regulars return to not for novelty, but for a familiar bowl that reliably hits the right notes every single time. Its location opposite SAFTI Military Institute has also made it a well-known go-to among SAF regulars, NSFs, and nearby workers, especially during lunch hours, when a quick yet satisfying meal is all that’s needed. In a food scene increasingly obsessed with reinvention, Meng Heng stands firm in doing the basics well — and that is exactly where its charm lies.

At the heart of the bowl are springy, bouncy noodles that are well-cooked and evenly coated in a savoury sauce with a gentle vinegar tang. The balance is subtle rather than sharp, lending the noodles a comforting, rounded flavour that never overwhelms. It’s the sort of seasoning that feels thoughtfully restrained, allowing the individual components to shine while still coming together cohesively.

The toppings are classic and familiar: flavourful minced pork, lean pork slices, earthy mushrooms, and a fishball that adds a simple, comforting bite. Nothing here feels excessive or out of place. Each element plays its role, contributing texture and depth without trying to steal the spotlight. There are no dramatic flourishes or modern twists — just honest ingredients prepared with care.
