Good news folks! The famous Old Airport Road Hokkien Mee is now available in the West! It’s located at 177 Bukit Batok West Avenue 8, in the Get Together Coffeeshop, which boasts a few other famous hawker stalls.

This is my first time trying @namsinghokkienfried , which comes with yellow noodles, thin bee hoon, eggs, prawns and squid. One thing to note is that they uses thin bee hoon instead of the usual thick bee hoon, so as to better absorb the flavours of the broth. Another thing to note is that the eggs are fried separately till fluffy, rather than ‘clinging’ on to the noodles. I also like it that the prawns are de-shelled for easier consumption.

Prior to trying, I’ve read reviews and noticed that @namsinghokkienfried is known for its wok-hei and flavourful prawn/seafood stock. However, much to my dismay, I find both factors sorely lacking in my plate of pipping hot Hokkien Mee. It seems to be an issue of differing standards across the outlets, but since I’ve not tried the original at Old Airport Road, I am unable to confirm that this is indeed the case.

If you have tried them, do let me know your thoughts on it!
