Well-known Ah Lim (Jalan Tua Kong) Mee Pok Kway Teow Soup has six outlets in various locations across Singapore including Bugis, Tampines, Simpang Bedok and the one that started it all over twenty years ago in Siglap, on the corner of East Coast Road & Jalan Tua Kong. 

Already a solid, reliable place for my all-time favourite noodle dish tah mee pok tah or bak chor mee, I considered it quite the culinary coup to discover that of all the six outlets, only the Joo Chiat Place branch has a must-try secret menu item.
