A British TikToker could be making us rethink how we eat our bak chor mee (minced meat noodles).In a video posted on Dec 10, Sam Lynas visited San Xiang Bak Chor Mee at ABC Brickworks Market Food Centre and showed himself pouring soup into his dry bak chor mee.The 37-year-old marketing consultant is on a quest to visit all 248 Michelin-recognised eateries in Singapore, and this was his third stop. It s a bittersweet symphony and an absolute spanker, Lynas said while mixing the various ingredients together with the noodles. The soup is clean as a whistle, he said in the video. I added them to the noodles just to break them up a little bit. As of Dec 13, the video has over 56,000 views on TikTok and more than a hundred comments.One said: Why pour the soup? You should eat with sauce. I need to go to soup school! Lynas replied to the comment. I thought it was like when you order something dry or wet. And I just made it wet? I had a little extra vinegar with chilli in it so I figured that this was the dipping sauce, he added.
