Fried Hokkien Mee (福建面 in Chinese) is another favourite among Singaporeans. To put it simply, it is actually the thick egg noodles fried together with thick bee hoon.
This Singapore dish is served with slices of squid, prawns, slices of fish cake, vegetables and very small strips of pork. Small amounts or fried pork lard is added in to increase the tastiness of the Hokkien Mee. The frying skill of the hawker would determine the quality of the Fried Hokkien Mee. It should be served wet and not too dry.
For visitors to Singapore, you must eat this Hokkien Mee mixed with the sambal chilli and lime juice. Each servings will come with a small lime that is cut at one end. To make this better eating experience, you may want to squeeze the lime juice into your spoon first, remove the lime seeds and then pour it into your Hokkien Mee. The lime juice can remove the oily feeling of Hokkien Mee.
For those who cannot take spicy food, just mixed a small amount of the sambal chilli into this Singapore dish. This cuisine is superb with sambal chilli and lime juice mixed together.
Some Hawker Stalls may serve it on leaves to give that added aroma to the Hokkien Mee.
