Singapore Hokkien Mee - don't sleep on this one!
now who says you can't be your own hawker at home?
we like to believe that Hokkien Mee lives deeply in the hearts of most Singaporeans and that everyone has a their favourite go-to spot. what if we told you that it’s actually relatively easy to make at home?
recently, our buddy and culinary mentor @thepantryboy took over our kitchen to show us his secretly-guarded (well it’s not so secret now huh), foolproof recipe for homestyle Hokkien Mee. we managed to barge in right after he prepared a plate of it, and BOYYY it was PURE HEAVEN… the saucy mee was rich & umami and the gelatinous texture of pork belly tied it all together. the extra step of charring the noodles on high heat made all the difference in imparting a smoky flavour as well as protecting the integrity of the noodles in order to not have it become mushy.
now, it’s probably no use talking about his Hokkien Mee at length. the proof of success is in the recipe below. try it out and let us know in the comments how it turns out!

Mee Rebus - a hearty brunch staple!
i was today years old when i found out that mee rebus gravy was made out of 80% sweet potatoes?!?! as mentioned by The Pantry Boy, we’ll seldom find an authentic, traditional bowl of mee rebus nowadays as they have been replaced by sweeteners or thickeners.. but all thanks to him, we can now make a legit one at the comfort of our homes ❤️
kway chap - BUT HALALLL (?!) sure bo?
we heard that there is not even one stall in Singapore that sells a bowl of HALAL kway chap so Azfar has taken matter into his own hands, and challenged himself to make this 'rare' dish. Let us know if he nailed it!
