[Closed] Indo Bakmi – Unusual Find at Amoy Street Food Centre. Flavourful, Generous, and Satisfying

Bakmi is one of Indonesia’s most iconic noodles – usually topped with juicy chunks of chicken or pork, a handful of crispy shallots, and a pop of fresh greens.

Some versions come dry, with the sauce clinging to every strand, while others swim in a light, comforting broth.

It is still slightly surprising to find an Indo Bakmi stall at Amoy Street Food Centre though, as it is quite a niche item.

I was even more surprised to see the range of food served in this single stall, by a single hawker from Sumatra.

Options include Bakmi Bakso ($5.80), Bakmi Pork ($6.80), Bakmi Chicken Cutlet ($5.80), to Bakmi Mushroom ($5.80).

That’s not all. There are also Fishball Noodles ($4.80), Sliced Abalone Minced Meat Noodle ($6.80), Premium Lor Mee ($8.80), along with Fried Chicken Lor Mee ($4.00).

Rice dishes are also available, such as the Sweet & Sour Dory Fish Rice ($5), Ayam Goreng Rice ($5), and Ayam Belado Rice ($5), featuring fried chicken with spicy sauce.

Sides like fried wontons and crispy fried prawns add variety to the menu. The menu is surprisingly extensive.

I had the Bakmi Pork ($6.80) and the first thing that impresses me is the portion. Just look at that.

While I am not 100% sure how authentic this is, the noodles are like lamian – thin, long, firm and springy, coated in a dark, savoury sauce that clings to every strand.

The pork belly is braised until tender, with a deep, robust taste that seeps into every bite.

There’s a good mix of textures too — melt-in-the-mouth pork belly, soft mushrooms, and bouncy meatballs, all bringing something different.

A handful of fresh coriander and crispy shallots give a fragrant lift, while the accompanying soup is light and slightly herby, offering a balance to the richness of the sauce.

Overall, a bold, flavour-packed bowl that hits all the right notes.

Note that the food centre’s popularity during peak hours can lead to longer waiting times. Also because auntie is working alone.

A tasty find for those craving a hearty, well-portioned bowl of Indo Bakmi. Just come hungry and be ready to dig in.
