Tai Hwa’s pork noodles at is $4 and deserving of the slightly pricier bill.

Singapore, August 25, 2009 - GOOD things happen when you take time off to go on a walk.
Recently, on a whim, I decided to take a walk around the vicinity of Lavender MRT station. My adventure was rewarded with the discovery of two lovely places to sit for a bite.
My first stop was next to the station, right behind the ICA Building.
Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles, at Blk 466 Crawford Lane, #01-02, is certainly not unknown.
Go there during lunch and you’ll see what I mean.
By 11.45am, the queue starts and continues until the lunch rush is over. After all, it has nearly 80 years of history. It started at Hill Street, then moved to Marina Square before finding it’s new home at Crawford Lane four years ago.
The noodles start at $4, slightly more expensive than most coffee shop stalls. But it’s worth paying the difference.
The noodles are firm – almost crisp – and the ingredients that come with it are fresh.
I recommend ordering the mee kia version (the thin noodles), dry.
There was pig liver with the minced meat, and kudos to the stall for keeping the liver pink and soft.
I had mine with a dash of chilli and loads of vinegar, and that was satisfying. The stall will oblige those wanting more vinegar.
Also, try the dumpling soup ($5) if you’re with two or more friends.
Even though it’s a packed coffee shop, don’t let that scare you away. If you’re into minced pork noodles, this is one of the best places to check out.
Drop in early – the stall opens by about 9.30am – and you should be able to enjoy a leisurely bowl of noodles.
But don’t drop in on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. The stall will be closed then.
