Guest Post @ Rasa Malaysia : Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee

Rasa Malaysia is a site that needs little introduction. Owned by Bee, I don't think I exaggerate when I say that, the site presides over the Asian Food niche in the Flogosphere. As such, I was extremely flattered to learn that Bee had actually noticed my humble blog and had generously invited me to do a guest post at her site.

Deciding what to feature in this guest post for Rasa Malaysia is not easy. The site is already so rich in content, it is literally an Asian Food encyclopedia.(especially for Malaysian/Singapore food)

Hokkien Mee 6

I am glad that I can still bring something new in the form of the Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee. Please head over to Rasa Malaysia to read about my all time favourite Singapore street food.

    It's quite difficult to make this sort of dish look that appealling but your pictures are superb.

    Hi Shirley, congrats on your guest post and the hokkien mee looks like the tastier ones you get at the hawker stalls. You even add the leaf for autenticity. Very nice indeed!

    Jane: thanks! Yes, you are right. I didn't blog about the publication in Desserts Magazine... I wasn't sure if it would be worthy to 'brag' about.... I have a tendency to stay a little low key with my blog- partly because I am really struggling to find time to do more with it. You've been so supportive, thanks!

    Love the way how you capture the goodness of this local hawker favourite. Hokkien mee is my fav too especially with sambal chili and lime on its side...

    Congrats Shirley. I never knew there is a difference between Singaporean and Malaysian Hokkien mee. I have not tasted the Singaporean version, will have to the next time I there. I love our Malaysian version tho. I enjoyed the beautiful photographs.

    Shirley, you deserved for this, big Congrats! Now I know Singapore style Hokkien mee is pale in colour unlike MY here add a lot of dark soy sauce and it look dark. I think I will love your pale version too, it look simple and delicious.

    i thought i'd wanted to let you know that i've tried your recipe and is very happy with it. even my husband also find that it is quite close to the ones sold in singapore! the recipe is a good keeper (advice: adjust salt to own preference). anyone who is interested should really try it.
