Noodle seller sues nephew
Feb 8, 2010 9.33pm - The Straits Times
THE owner of a famous bak chor mee (minced meat noodles) stall in Crawford Lane has taken his nephew to court over the latter's outlet in a food court at VivoCity shopping mall.
Mr Tang Chay Seng, 63, who runs well-known Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, alleges that Mr Arthur Tung Yang Wee, 39, is trying to pass off his stall, Lau Dai Hua, as the original.
Mr Tang, who has accused his nephew of pulling publicity gimmicks to mislead the public, wants a High Court order to stop his nephew from riding on the reputation of his stall. He is also seeking unspecified damages, and for an apology to be published in the Chinese-language newspapers.
The falling-out between the men arose from advertisements the younger man took out in two Chinese-language newspapers in November 2008 to promote his newly opened outlet at the Food Republic food court.
Mr Tang said that in the ads, his nephew tried to pass off his noodles as his uncle's by displaying the original stall's awards and certificates.
Mr Tang said this was calculated to mislead and confuse the public into thinking that the outlet is connected to the stall with a history of 76 years.
HOpe this can be resolved peacefully. Tai Hwa ba cho mee sedap, tasty , great !
After drinking the soup, the taste still lingers in the mouth, that is hardly found in any other ba cho mee in Sg.
$4 is worth it.

I like the taste but hate the queue. I just give up if the queue is too long.

I don't know which stall you go to. I went to the one at Hong Lim Food Centre a few times and the queue was short or no queue at all. By the way, this Hong Lim Food centre will be closed on 28 Feb for renovation. The temp food centre is at Hong Lim Park where the Speakers" Corner is

I am not aware there is a stall at Crawford. Next time if you are near that area in the evening go try the wanton mee I recommended you.
If you want to eat any food from Hong Lim F C, make it fast as they will be closing soon

okay here is the key question............HOW MANY OF YOU old enough ACTUALLY EATEN AT THE ORIGINAL Tai Hwa COFFEE THIAM RIGHT OFF THE BRIDGE?
I used to visit that place during lunch and basically there are 2 keys food stalled....1 store selling duck the other is the teochew noodle place. Known for Teochew "siew chao".
This place is damn Hot, and musky and crowded during lunch time....you have to bring extra towel to wipe off your swept it is almost a work out. Plus the smell of people loading from bumb boat singapore river and lorry quing up for load on load off.....maybe it was the era that people fondly remember......
My grandmother like to go there to EAT Duck and Teochew "Siew chao"
