What Makes Hokkien Mee Special?
Hokkien mee is a uniquely Singaporean creation, with a history rooted in post-war hawker culture. This wok-fried combination of yellow noodles and bee hoon is loaded with prawns, squid, pork belly, and eggs, all doused in a rich prawn and pork broth. The crowning touch? A squeeze of lime and a dollop of potent sambal chili. The aroma of “wok hei” (breath of the wok) is unmistakable, and each stall boasts its own secret twist.
