Gregory got a bowl filled with pork slices, minced pork, beansprouts, ikan bilis and a generous amount of pork lard. Hidden beneath all that protein goodness is the bak chor mee seasoning consisting of black vinegar, mushroom sauce and chilli sambal.
“This is sinfully good,” said Gregory after his first bite. He also mentioned he got hints of sour and spicy notes from the seasoning. “Overall, it’s a tasty, meaty, moreish dish.”
In an expanded YouTube version of the video, Gregory mentioned that the stall has been operating since 2018. The owners then started serving low-carb dishes six months later, and they sell about 80 keto-friendly dishes a day.
