Yes, wet Hokkien Mee is a popular variation in Singapore, characterized by a saucy, braised consistency rather than being dry-fried. It features yellow noodles and thick bee hoon simmered in a rich prawn broth, often with pork lard and sotong. Popular spots include Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee****First Street, and Blue Star.

Key Details on Wet Hokkien Mee:
  • Style: It is closer to a "braised" dish than fried, using more broth to create a, slurpy, and, sometimes, savory, profile.
  • Best Places:
    • Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee (Kovan 209 Market).
    • First Street Teochew Fish Soup/Hokkien Mee (Upper Serangoon).
    • Blue Star Fried Hokkien Mee (Hainanese Village Food Centre).
    • Mian Wang 1971 (various locations).
    • Four-Eyes Zai (Bedok).
  • Characteristics: These versions are usually paler in color compared to dry versions, as they absorb less of the dark soy sauce, and instead focus on the umami flavor of the prawn stock.
 
Lower quantity, lower quality, higher price.

Even worse if the food stall received a Michelin award, the hawkers know they can 'autopilot' on minimum effort and those low IQ social media addicts and tourists will still queue up obediently.

Welcome to the new normal of hawker food prices in a money laundering hub. :biggrin:

P.S: the two main stalls there are the ban mian noodles stall, and the soy sauce chicken stall. Everything else is optional and forgettable. :cool:
