This is one of those ‘Must-Have’ food when you step into a Singapore hawker centers. Everyone loves the fragrance of the noodle as the hawker uses pork lard to achieve the unique and distinct taste of the Hokkien Mee.
We decided to go healthier, out goes the pork lard, in comes the use of the freshest ingredients such as prawns, squids and pork belly which were all freshly bought from the Woodlands market in the morning, topping it with freshly squeezed lime and in companionship with sambal chilli. This is truly match making in heaven!
