I noticed these guys last time we were at Hong Lim Food Centre while visiting one of Tai Wah's other outlets. Whoa - another bak chor mee place in the same complex as Tai Wah? And with much longer lines and a full Makansutra rating? This I had to check out (531A Upper Cross Street #02-43).
I can see why people like Ah Kow. It's the vinegar. They use a lot of it, making their bowls even more accentuated than Tai Wah's. Given a recent discussion about the use of vinegar in these things, one might think that would tip the scales in favor of Ah Kow. But I'm still a huge fan of how Tai Wah does its extra tasty meatballs and wantons.
Honestly, it's a tough call between the two. But waiting in line for Ah Kow is not worth it in my opinion. In that sense, I'm still going to Tai Wah.

This is unrelated to the current post. I was reading about Xiao Ping Steam Pot and wanted to try the place. I called the number in your post, but it was disconnected. I think the place has closed down?
Yep - click here.
