Thye Hong at Food Republic 313 Somerset #05-01/02/03 preserves Hokkien mee heritage tracing to 1970s pushcart origins, when hawkers hand-fried individual portions over charcoal flames along Singapore's streets. Now operating within Food Republic's air-conditioned comfort just 15 meters from Somerset MRT Exit B, Thye Hong maintains traditional wet-style preparation that distinguishes authentic Hokkien mee from inferior dry versions.
Thick yellow noodles and thin rice vermicelli absorb rich gravy built from prawns, squid, and pork simmered to extract maximum umami. The wet style requires precise wok control—too much liquid becomes soup, too little leaves noodles dry. Thye Hong's decades of experience show in perfectly balanced texture where noodles glisten with flavorful gravy without swimming in excess liquid. Each plate arrives topped with fresh prawns, sliced pork, squid pieces, and sambal chili for those seeking heat. Beyond signature Hokkien mee, the stall offers char kway teow delivering smoky wok hei and fried oyster omelette showcasing plump oysters bound in egg. This represents hawker tradition elevated to food court convenience without compromising authenticity.

Introduce by friend else you won't know this stall sell Fried Oyster Omelette.
The Fried Oyster Omelette quite special as it is dry type and nice.
But the service is not good, i think some of the public already have the feedback here, not to mention too much.

Doesn’t taste as good as it looks. I do not recommend ordering the Char Kway Teow at all, you’re better off with prawn noodles which is what they are known for.
I ordered extra cockles to go with my char kway teow for extra $3, total dish costs me $10.20, totally not worth it. The cockles were tiny, not fresh and had a weird taste to it. I didn’t finish it as I didn’t want to waste my calories on it.
Lesson learnt: don’t be taken in by appearances.

Ordered seafood char kway teow from Ion outlet. Taste was mediocre, very little ingredients. Three pathetic prawns and can count only two thin slices of sotong. Horribly overpriced.

This stall at 313 is an absolute disgrace to the “50 years of history” they claim. This is, without a doubt, the worst and most subpar Hokkien prawn mee I have ever had. There is zero effort in cooking—the chef simply dumps broth into the wok, gives the noodles a few careless tosses, and serves it up. There’s no wok hei, no depth of flavor, and certainly no authenticity. The prawns are not fresh, the chili is bland, and the entire dish feels like a lazy, money-grabbing attempt rather than a true representation of Hokkien mee. Even one star is too generous. Absolutely not recommended!

By far the worst hokkien mee I’ve had. Only order if you’re interested in how the stock tastes. Ingredients were basically put into the wok and briefly heated in stock, then served. The dish was nowhere near fried or stir fried. Ingredients were not fresh and noodles were about as cooked as they were out the bag they arrived in. But if crunchy beansprouts in less than lukewarm stock broth is your thing, this is the place to visit.
