Added your points last time already, now system don't allow.
Uh Bro,,,Alamaking is right, Tai Wah has only one main store and no branches,,I propose you go the the Crawford one and have a look, taste the food and than compare with Bestway canteen, see the difference and make the judgement.
how can blk85 bedok north be the "yuan zhu" of bak cho mee when the original stall in 85 only sell soup version?
as for acquired taste type of food,
Turtle soup, the first i ever ate was selling from a run down shop in tai seng in the 80s where it a dirt road from payer laba road. Now mainly eat at jalan beser food centre occasionally.
in fact, there are many "special" type food available at jalan beser food centre that cater to people with "acquired" taste, ie.shark, crocodile etc etc...

Are you sure? How come I've eaten dry version there more than 20 years ago? Anyway, I don't really like bak chor mee. Just once in a while.
Shark meat (not shark fin) is stiff wooden crap that fishmongers lelong to poorer housewives and grandmas who use with porridge lunch or snack. That's why people take the fin and throw the shark back into the water. Do you know your food? Crocodile, ostrich and even dog are available in Geylang.
The turtle soup centre is not called Jalan Besar HC. It's called Jalan Berseh HC. Yes, those stalls are good. Herbally brewed and a little (don't expect too much) dash of XO. Haven't been to Tai Seng and MacPherson for a long time. Jackson has been demolished and the turtle soup specialist restaurant opposite Jackson, I also don't know what happened, is it still there or not? It was really the best, but as price goes, it was also the most expensive too, but fair enough with air-con.

jalan beasr or jalan berseh, have it your way.
the turtleshop opposite jackson still there, in fact took over door unit and expand into a 2 unit establishment. So there a price increase and even charge gst liao. the old tai seng turtle shop now along payer leba road opposite tai keng garden and few yrs back also have a branch at gayland lor 3, that i not sure still around.
Ok, fully agree, turtle soup is also one of the weird food in SG
add $2, you also can have turtle egg added to your soup. but i find it strange that muliple yolks inside the soup so i not sure it a few eggs or one egg with multiple yolks.
Geylang 1 still around, i passed there last night...
The one with houseful of buddha statue ?
not as good as the old Tai Seng days
Huhhh... You also know about that house besides the road?
yes, the one with houseful of buddha statues. and like LSB and KTV, one can put liquor of your choice there to be put in the soup or drink neat during the meal.
true, the standard drop quite a lot after move from tai seng.

Crawford one got the longest history last time in marina square before move to present spot.
Both tai wah stalls not related but both featured in top 5 Ba Chor Mee always.
The closest thing to a branch of this is one at vivocity set up by the owner's nephew.
tulang has quite high cholestrol doesn't it?
Bro, about the branch in vivo, are you talking about the high street or Crawford one?
Bedok 85 the soup only one is original. The one with dry version next door is imitation.
All the other fake ones also sell both versions.
All the other fake ones also sell both versions.
