Noodles lacked wok hei and tasted rather bland, and required the chilli to provide the flavours. Do note that there is no pork in the $5 plate. Otherwise, the amount of ingredients were rather generous. Cash only.

Michelin Bib Gourmand Hokkien mee stall at Tiong Bahru Market, stir-fried with sotong and prawns.
Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee is a third-generation hawker stall at Tiong Bahru Market that has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for seven consecutive years. Helmed by Manfred Lim, who took over from his uncle, the stall specialises in a single dish: fried Hokkien mee stir-fried with sliced fish, sotong (squid) and prawns, served with a house-made chilli sauce. The stall traces its history back to the old Lau Pa Sat before relocating to Tiong Bahru in the 1980s. What sets Hong Heng apart is the rich seafood stock that permeates every component of the dish, from the noodles to the prawns and lard, delivering a deeply savoury flavour without being overpowering. Manfred's skilful wok technique imparts a satisfying wok hei, the prized smoky char that distinguishes great Hokkien mee. The stall opens only on weekdays and Saturday, and long queues are a constant feature, a testament to its enduring popularity. For those seeking one of Singapore's finest plates of Hokkien mee, Hong Heng at Tiong Bahru Market remains an essential destination that exemplifies the art of hawker wok cooking.Based on 267 Google reviews

No frills fried sotong prawn mee that draws a queue. The line moves steadily as the chef cooks and serves up plate after plate of al dente yellow noodles and thick bee hoon, mixed with fresh prawns and slices of squid and fish cake. There …
