Our take on Xiang Chi Mian is that it offers a generally well-regarded bak chor mee experience, particularly for those who appreciate a firm, 'Q' noodle texture without the alkaline taste.
Reviewers frequently praise the noodles themselves, noting their al dente quality and fresh preparation.
The Traditional Minced Meat Noodle, priced at $4.50, is highlighted for its combination of minced pork, mushroom, and liver, with the sauce often described as flavourful.
The complimentary soup also receives positive mentions for its taste and preparation effort.
However, there's a split in opinion regarding the overall flavour profile, with some finding it delicious and well-balanced, while others feel it's only average and could benefit from additions like black vinegar or hotter soup.
Service is consistently noted as friendly and attentive.
We think this spot is a solid choice for a reliable bowl of bak chor mee, especially if you prioritize noodle quality.
Best for a casual meal when you're in the Hougang area, but perhaps not a destination for BCM purists seeking a very specific flavour profile.

My kids love the noodles here, which is a great endorsement as they are picky. The noodles are excellent and cooked just right to give it a firm and 弹牙 texture. They use freshly made noodles with no h…
Pretty decent BCM. I ordered their "signature BCM". Noodles are nicely 'Q', sauce is flavourful enough, and the portion is just nice. The kopitiam at Hougang Capeview is also clean and well-maintained
Service was good and the staff were friendly and chatty. However, the BCM itself was only average at best. Stall might want to consider adding some black vinegar to the sauce and improve on the flavou…
