Is Hokkien mee from Singapore? Hokkien mee is a stir-fried noodle dish that originated in the Fujian province in China, but it has evolved differently in various regions, including in the Lion City.
It has become a distinctive dish in Singaporean food, which is why you can find it in both classy eateries and hawker stalls. Now let’s see the places where you can expect the best Hokkien mee in Singapore.

Yang Zhou Hokkien Sotong Mee in Bukit Merah is a hit with older diners, as it offers a nostalgic take on traditional fried noodles. What it lacks in wok hei is made up by the silkiness of prawn broth-infused noodles.
It’s a wetter kind of Hokkien mee that’s a delight to slurp down. And it doesn’t scrimp on the prawn and squid, making even the smallest portions a burp-worthy foray.
