Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

We think Macpherson Minced Meat Noodle offers a solid bowl of Bak Chor Mee, particularly for those who appreciate springy noodles and a well-balanced sauce.

The Xiao Wan Mian at $7 stands out for its generous portion and variety of ingredients, including pork slices, liver, intestines, and fish dumplings, making it a good value option.

Reviewers consistently praise the al dente texture of the noodles and the flavourful soup, which some describe as having a pleasant porky taste with evenly mixed eggs.

While the dry version is generally well-received for its vinegar notes, the soup version has received mixed feedback, with one reviewer finding it too much and lacking strong flavour.

Expect a queue, especially around lunch, though it tends to be shorter before 11:30 AM.

The stall operates with one person preparing noodles, so patience is required, particularly if ordering for a large group.

We'd recommend the Xiao Wan Mian for a more comprehensive experience, but the standard $5 bowl is also a reliable choice.

Best for a satisfying, no-frills Bak Chor Mee fix if you're in the area and don't mind a short wait.

What customers say

Macpherson Minced Meat Noodle generally receives positive feedback for its well-cooked, springy noodles and flavourful sauces, with many customers praising the generous portions and variety of ingredients in the Xiao Wan Mian.

While the dry version is often lauded for its vinegar balance, the soup version can be inconsistent in flavour.

Customers should anticipate potential queues, especially during peak hours, and be aware that popular add-ons may sell out.

Been wanting to come here and I was rewarded with a great bowl of unfussy and well made bak chor mee. The meepok, crucially, were spingy. The sauce has a good mixture of vinegar and soya and isn't ove…

Had an early lunch after morning Dragonboat session. Queue time was short as it was still before typical lunchtime. The store assistant was very friendly and took my order fast. Got my noodles shortly…

Great place to satisfy your craving of 小碗面 ($7) and ba chor mee ($5). Noodles al dente, and substantial amount of ingredients. Loved the porky taste of the soup with the eggs evenly mixed in. Paymen…

We came down specially to try the noodles here, but it was a mixed experience. I had the dry version, and it was okay. I liked the vinegar flavour, but the ingredients were a bit little, especially th…
