Born from Fujian roots, Hokkien Mee evolved in Singapore into wet and dry styles, both of which I love. I’ve devoured countless Hokkien Mee, from smokey wok-kissed classics to rich soupy renditions.
Some hit the prawn-packed jackpot while others lack that wok hei magic. I’ll tell you where to find the latter. These are the local restaurants that hit all the right flavour notes.

I never thought I’d experience fine dining precision in a humble hawker stall that sells noodles, but that’s what I got from Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee. It proves that humble food when done right, can rival the fanciest meals.
It’s run by a former high-end chef, so every plate boasts a rich prawn broth, springy noodles, and seafood so fresh it practically waves at you. You can’t miss the deep umami taste and that unmistakable wok hei flavour!
Pro-tip: Visit as soon as the stall opens, as it often sells out way before closing.

One bite of its noodle dish confirmed why Come Daily Fried Hokkien Mee has been drawing loyal fans for decades. Its signature soupy, eggy broth clings to every noodle strand, delivering an umami punch that pleases the palate.
The smokey, rich, and addictively slurpable noodles have excellent mouthfeel. Nestled in Toa Payoh, this stall shows that sometimes, the best meals come from the simplest setups.
Pro-tip: Dining as a group? The Hokkien Mee here also comes in a large portion for three to four people to share at around S$18.

Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee has proven time and again that a Michelin Bib Gourmand meal doesn’t need frills and gimmickry. The stall’s mix of thick and thin bee hoon noodles soak up the rich prawn-infused stock while the squid and prawns add a tasty briny bite.
The wok hei here is just right. It gives each slurp and bite a smokey depth without overpowering the broth’s natural sweetness. There’s always a queue here, and partaking of the prawn mee will make you realise why.
Pro-tip: The prawn mee sizes here are small, medium, and large and are priced at S$3, S$4, and S$5 respectively.

Charcoal fried Hokkien Mee? I asked myself incredulously. The one at Geylang Lorong is a rare find; one of the few stalls still frying over a real charcoal fire!
I love that this humble stall sustains culinary traditions that you can taste. The result is a plate packed with deep, smoky wok hei with rich prawn broth, and just the right amount of moisture to cling to every noodle.
Pro-tip: Try the Hokkien Mee with a side of fiery sambal to up the umami factor.

Fancy your Hokkien Mee with a side of history? Head over to Swee Guan Hokkien Mee and partake of some charcoal-fried noodles from hands that bear wok skills passed down through generations.
The plate I got had a generous amount of noodles soaking up a deep seafood-rich stock and a satisfyingly smokey bite. The texture strikes the perfect balance: slightly crispy at the edges, yet lusciously coated in broth.
Pro-tip: Have an early dinner here at around 5 PM to avoid the hungry office workers coming in droves for their end-of-day meal.

Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee does things differently. There’s no heavy broth, just light, dry-style noodles that let the seafood flavours shine. Each bite tastes clean yet packed with umami.
This version also skips the usual sambal, relying instead on fresh ingredients and a squeeze of tangy calamansi for that zing. I like how things are kept simple but tasty in this Old Airport Road stall.
Pro-tip: The medium portion is S$8 and can be shared by two people with moderate appetites.

Xiao Di Fried Prawn Noodle may be a new player in the Hokkien Mee field, but it delivers old-school flavours with a contemporary flair. The young hawker nails the balance between springy noodles and rich prawn broth for a satisfying mouthfeel.
I could taste the freshness of the seafood, enhanced by a dollop of fiery sambal. My Hokkien Mee plate looked and tasted like a masterpiece!
Pro-tip: The stall prefers cash payment so don’t forget to bring some.

Kim’s Famous Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee boasts a legend of a hawker “uncle” with his fancy Rolex as he serves up plate after plate of noodles loaded with wok hei, prawn-infused stock, and a golden layer of shredded egg.
The real kicker is the crispy deep-fried pork lard that adds a crunch to every bite. If you want your tasty Hokkien Mee with a side of swagger, visit this stall.
Pro-tip: There’s a good variety of dishes here including seafood mee goreng and black pepper bee hoon.

I’ve always liked the predictability of the Hokkien Mee in Ah Hock Fried Hokkien Noodles. The stall keeps it simple but with all the essentials: flavourful noodles, a seafood-rich broth, plus prawns and squid to add a briny bite.
I’ve never had a bad plate of Hokkien Mee here. Just goes to show that consistency in quality goes a long way.
Pro-tip: Weekends are especially busy here, so plan your visit around peak hours like lunch and dinner time.

For a flavourful plate of noodles that’s packed with flavour, you can’t go wrong with Original Simon Road Fried Hokkien Mee. You can add sambal, but I consider it an afterthought to the rich and moist noodles.
There’s some crispy pork lard in the mix that adds a nice crunch to every bite. It balances out the silky noodles and the umami-rich broth.
Pro-tip: If you’re extra hungry, get the S$10 portion, which is also ideal for sharing between two people.

The Neighbourwok’s Hokkien Mee nails it with free-flow lime, unlimited chilli, and staff who can happily top you up despite the crowd. Even with the never-ending queue at this place, service is pretty solid.
The noodles’ wok hei hits hard, and the slurp-worthy broth clings to every noodle strand. The mix is perfect between the pork belly and the fresh prawns so it’s hard not to lick the plate clean afterwards!
Pro-tip: Have some nicely grilled satay sticks on the side to introduce another savoury flavour.

Shiok Hokkien Prawn Noodles (the only menu item!) come in S$5, S$8, and S$10 portions, loaded with prawns, squid, pork belly, fish cake, eggs, and crispy lard.
The noodles are moist and coated with rich prawn broth that they’re easy to slurp down. If you like food that slides down effortlessly, this place is for you.
Pro-tip: Additional lard is available upon request (if you like to live dangerously!).
