Singapore's bak chor mee tops world street food list

Singapore's street food has wowed the palates of the judges of the World Street Food Congress this year, with 14 dishes making its list of top 50 dishes from around the world.

At the top of the list is Hill Street Tai Wah Bak Chor Mee which judges described as "the stuff addiction is made of."

They waited 90 minutes to get a taste of the dish at Crawford Lane, so we can probably expect longer queues from now on.

The tasty sambal and black vinegar laced pork noodle also earned a one-star rating from Michelin Guide Singapore last July.

The panel of experts comprised commentators, writers, food celebrities, and professionals who judged based on ingredient sourcing, food preparation, basic hygiene, adaptability, consistency, confidence, and quality and flavour of the food.

While judging, they also factored in their ability to inspire and create jobs, reputation, as well as opportunities for the local population.
