World Street Food Masters 2017 Crowns Hill Street Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee As The Best
World Street Food Masters 2017 gives us #hawkerpride Source We’ve seen food trends come and go; two-hour long frenzied queues whittle down to five-minute waits whenever a new food trend pops up. Food stalls that remain popular for months approach ‘legendary’ status, while those that keep it up for years are practically…
One of those legends is Hill Street Tai Hwa , where an average wait for humble bak chor mee is 1.5 hours. Last year, Hill Street Tai Hwa was one of two hawker stalls to be awarded a Michelin star . 2017 brings more good news for our food scene – this bak chor mee stall bagged the top title in the World Street Food Congress ’ Top 50 World Street Food Masters list .

The judging panel commended the stall for making their own rice flour cakes from scratch. Source 12 other Singaporean hawker stalls as well made the Top 50 list, including Master Tang Wanton Mee (no. 16), An Ji Sang Mee (no. 24), and Tan’s Kueh Tutu (no. 26).
Other awardees hail from the United States, Thailand, China, and Malaysia among other countries. Curated by the World Street Food Congress, the World Street Food Masters list is judged by a committee of “dedicated culinary travellers” and professionals from the food sector including veteran chefs.
Sources of elements, consistency, and quality and flavour of food were a few criteria considered by the judging panel. The congress is an annual event organised by Singaporean firm Makansutra.
