If you’re up for hearty hawker fare with a bit of a twist, Li Yuan Mee Pok‘s Japanese fusion noods go beyond your regular bowl of BCM. The hawker brand, which first made news for its Japanese chef-owner Naoji Kuribara, has recently opened two new outlets in Commonwealth and Hougang.

The Japanese hawker learned the ropes of making a good bowl of local bak chor mee from the original Ah Hoe Mee Pok a few years ago. After developing his signature Japanese-style mee pok dish, which features shoyu- and miso-infused sauce bases, he set up his first hawker stall in Blk 710 Clementi West.

Chef Naoji has since made a name for himself, churning out bowl after bowl of his unique Japan-meets-Singapore noodles, now available across five outlets islandwide.

There’s also a Miso ($7/$8) alternative, which switches out the shoyu base for a creamier miso-spiked sauce. Both flavours are available in soup and dry versions.

For those who are out to splurge, opt for a $10 bowl of Crayfish Mee Pok, which sees the same fusion bak chor mee elevated by two pieces of poached crayfish instead of cha shu.

Purists will also be glad to spot familiar classics of Mushroom Minced Meat Noodles ($5/$6) and Teochew Dumplings Soup ($5) on the menu.
