“This charcoal-fried Hokkien Mee is a delightful explosion of flavours and textures. The dish is rich in moisture and cooked to perfection, infusing every bite with a satisfying wok hei essence. The prawns are juicy and fresh, adding a delightful crunch to each mouthful. Although the dish is prepared in large batches, it maintains its consistency and delectable taste. The wait for a freshly made batch can be a tad long, but trust me when I say that it’s worth the wait.”“I had Hokkien mee two days in a row. Today is the second day, and this was very impressive. I loved how it wasn’t too wet or dry, chilli was good thought a little too spicy for me. The blend of ingredients contributed to the overall perfect balance of the dish! I enjoyed the Beatty road Hokkien mee yesterday, and today, I really enjoyed this charcoal fried Hokkien mee. Will be back for more!”

“The hokkien mee tasted better than I was expecting. The stock for the hokkien mee is very flavourful with some sweetness. The two medium size prawns are very fresh. The squid rings are very tender. Sambal chilli which comes with the dish is good. Added an omelette egg which was nicely done.
Definitely one of the better wet style hokkien mee in Singapore.”
“Had been wanting to try this prawn noodles coined with a unique name 🦐
Ordered the smallest plate at $6 and it was served within minutes as there weren’t many of us around.
🍝 The noodles were tasty, though the portion was a little small and there were like 2 prawns 4 sotong rings and some roast pork only
It was definitely a decent meal to be had despite the hefty price tag – a comforting meal in this rainy weather 👍🏻”

Public rating: 3.7/5
Public reviews:
“Recommend to fried Hokkien prawn mee lovers who prefer the more soupy type. This stall in Bukit Batok offers the standard version and added roast pork version. The standard version comes in $4.5/$6/$8 serving and those with roast pork are more expensive at $6.5/$8/$10. Do not be fooled by their innocent looking chilli sauce, it packs quite a punch so add in small increments. Pork lard is also available if you ask for it.
My 4th visit in the last 12 months. Looks like I’ll be back again and again.”
“$6.50 with roast pork.
First mouthful, can feel the wok hei. Service is very fast as they just boil the noodles in the broth. But is very tasty.
Roast Pork imo can order without.
Chilli will surprise you. It’s spicy. Packs a punch. I decided not to mix it in.
Overall it’s a good hkm”

Delicious Hokkien Mee Since 1960 their flavour profile of the mostly from the strong chilli with a good amount of kick pairs perfectly with the hokkien mee. Not a very strong wok hey taste but yet still tasty with a generous amount.
Public rating: 3.7/5
Public reviews:
“Came on Friday at 6pm, waited for only 10min before my fried noodle was served. Seafood like sotong and prawn taste reasonably fresh, the noodles has abit of wok hey and was soaked in thick pork lard/prawn gravy, chilli isnt spicy it does add favor to the dish. For $5, the serving looks small, but because the taste is strong, so I think is just right, and for comparison with Bedok 85 stall which reside in kovan food center and also sells at $5, personally I would go for the Simon road stall.”
“Worth the wait. Got the standard $5 plate and serving was quite generous! Its more of the wet stir fry hokkien mee, veryyyy slight wok hey but still delicious. Comes with 3 prawns and 3 sotong for the $5 plate. Chilli is good and quite filling for the price.”

“There’s a MSCP above this coffee shop.
Multiple local food delights can be found here.
We like the Fried Hokkien Mee.
It has abalone instead of squid .
Sauce is sweet and savoury.
Best to dine in, we tried takeaway during peak hour but it doesn’t taste as good.
It’s really nice.
There’s plenty of choices at this stall too.
Check the menu picture.”

“Always back for Hokkien mee – ate at least 5 times, consistent in the cooking standards. Good wok hei (wok fire) which adds smokiness. Decent amount of freshly fried pork lard which added flavour and crunch. Chili is powepac too. Decent amount of seafood in my usual $6 (medium) order. Buzzer will be issued upon ordering and payment, food collection ready when the buzzer rings. Pork satay was good however the sauce slightly lacking of the punch. Expect longer waiting time during peak hours.”
“Wow wow wow … I have been going to this place for months. The Neighbourwork’s Hokkien Noodles consistently deliver a heavenly taste and texture that keeps you returning for more. Yummy!! Richly infused with a savoury broth, each balanced scoop yields a subtle seafood hint. Each $6 served with yellow and white noodles, pork belly, sotong, prawns, and you can request for more pork lard, every well-cooked bite bursts with an umami flavour that is out of this world. This is simply the BEST HOKKIEN MEE in SG.
Damage: $6 – worth every bit of it

Public Reviews:
“Although my personal preference for Hokkien Mee is the dry type, this one is pretty good in my opinion.
The stock had fresh umami flavour, no stale prawn or porky odour and there was a decent amount of protein in my serving.
It’s also the type that will soak up all the stock if you have it takeaway.
Added benefit of not having to queue, because the owner uses beepers to notify you when your order is ready.”
“reached the stall slightly after 2pm on saturday afternoon and they have alr cleaned up. was lucky enough to get the packed hokkien mee which their customers have called to order in advance and subsequently cancelled.
the young man was kind and honest enough to inform that the hokkien mee was there for awhile before asking if we want to accept it.
the taste was great! the food was still warm. sadly the lard was soggy alr probably cos it was left in the chap for awhile.
will definitely be there earlier next time before 1.30pm to try this.”

“Unique cooking in the claypot that tasted more wet with more gravy. The broth a bit strong and flavourful . A minimum order of $10 for 2 wine with only 2 🍤 , dew sotong and few fried belly pork which adds additionally flavour to the noodle. The noodle cooked perfectly soft and tasty. The other style is the traditional type that noodle would be wrapped the noodle using some kind of leaf to make the noodle flavourful was equally good !”
“I went there around 5pm and praised the Lord for there was no queue.
I asked them what was the smallest version for Claypot hokkien mee. Guy says $10 and can feed 2 people. I say, yes let’s do it, even though its just me.
No ragrets.”
