Now that Singapore has decided to nominate its hawker culture for inscription into Unesco’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, we think that it is right that we cherish and take stock of what we have. Hawker noodles form an important category of our hawker culture. There are numerous very good hawker noodle stalls, including the 1 Michelin star Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle. To remind ourselves and to assist our readers to find delicious noodles in various parts of Singapore, here is our list of seven of the top hawker noodles in Singapore.
7 of The Best Hawker Noodles in Singapore
Poon Nah City Homemade Noodle stall – for Abalone Clam Mee Hoon Kueh
Located at the food court of City Plaza on level 5, Poon Nah City Homemade Noodle stall offers all kinds of local delicacies – from you tiaos and fried wantons to luncheon meat and otah. However, it is their noodles that have received rave reviews over the years and earned it a place in our list of The Best Hawker Noodles in Singapore. Read more.

新美香卤面 Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee – for Lor Mee
We have many favourites for lor mee in Singapore. We decided on Xin Mei Xiang in our list of best noodles in Singapore because the gravy, made from starch and eggs plus some secret mix of spices, is smooth and luscious. Hand-shredded deep-fried Batang fish or Spanish mackerel is one of the key ingredients of Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee. The textures and the mix of savoury, sweet and tangy flavours produced a bowl of delicious lor mee. Read our post on 新美香卤面 Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee.

No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow – for Char Kway Teow
The debate can go on as to whether the No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow is the best char kway teow in Singapore. For us, the little pieces of crispy pork lard added interesting texture and taste to the dish and certainly made the No.18 Zion Road version quite special and enjoyable. It might be sinful but it was lip smacking good. They use plenty of black sauce. Other ingredients include fish cake, Chinese sausages, bean sprouts, cockles and eggs. They all combined to infuse the simple rice noodles with the layers of flavours. Read more.

Tanjong Rhu Wanton Noodle 丹戎禺云吞面 – for Wanton Noodles
There are many very good wanton noodle stalls in Singapore. We would say that the wanton noodles of Tanjong Rhu Wanton Noodle stall in Jalan Batu would be among the best we had tried in Singapore. The rather dingy dining environment aside, there was nothing we did not like about our simple noodle meal in Tanjong Rhu. It was really cheap and good food from an unpretentious food stall that is simply known as Tanjong Rhu Wanton Noodle. Read more.

Hong Kee Beef Noodle – for Beef Noodles
There are great beef noodles to be found all over Singapore. One of the best that can be found downtown is Hong Kee Beef Noodle in Amoy Food Centre. It sells only one dish – beef noodles at $5 and $6 per bowl. The extra $1 gives you more beef. There is the usual choice of noodles and soup or dry versions. We like their gravy; it has a nice consistency and a robust taste but is not overpowering. The cuts of beef are tender and flavourful and comparable to those served in posh restaurants. Read more.
