Economic bee hoon is a staple in our local breakfast scene. We love it for many reasons: its affordability and generous portion; how there’s an array of fried food to pair with the noodles; and the piquant sambal chilli that tops it off. However, not all stalls are ranked equal, with some faring better than the other.
Here are the best fried economic bee hoon stalls you can consider for a sumptuous breakfast!

Yan Fried Bee Hoon shot to fame when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was seen queuing 30 minutes for their signature Fried Chicken Wings ($1.20). Delightfully addictive, the juices of the chicken wing oozes out instantly, as you tear off its crispy skin. The menu has mostly remained unchanged over the past 10 years, with its Fried Bee Hoon ($0.60) being one of the cheapest you can find in Singapore.

While Hock Lian Huat Prawn Cracker and Ngoh Hiang sells ngoh hiang and fried fritters in the afternoon, they serve Fried Bee Hoon ($1.30) for ravenous locals in the morning. Most of the sides are fried to a delicate crisp, releasing an ASMR-worthy crunch when you bite into them. Be sure to order their signature Ngoh Hiang ($1.40)! Packed with minced meat and onions, before being seasoned with five-spice powder, this meaty parcel offers a firm and chewy texture at every mouthful.

Do not be deceived by the dish’s disorderly appearance; this flavourful fried bee hoon has earned a steadfast following of brekkie lovers over the years. Cooked with self-prepared lard, the vermicelli has a unique savouriness. Be sure to get a good spoonful of their potent sambal, which gives the bee hoon a deliciously spicy touch. Prices start from $2 for fried bee hoon topped with fish fillet, cabbage, and an egg.

What I love most about Hup Lee Fried Bee Hoon is their noodles’ overall consistency in quality; the Fried Kway Teow ($1), Fried Noodles ($1) and Bee Hoon ($1) are equally delectable. Their sambal chilli adds a tangy-sweetness to their noodles, with a trace of hae bee and onion. For sides, go for their Chicken Wings ($1.20). The wings are coated in a thin batter, which retains the moisture and juiciness of the chicken.

Qi Xiang is another popular breakfast destination for residents of Ang Mo Kio. Seasoned with dark soya sauce, their Fried Bee Hoon ($0.70) is savoury and aromatic.

Here, a plate of fried bee hoon, mee goreng, a fried chicken wing, and an egg will only set you back $2.40.

You’ll want to head down to Mei Wei early as their economic bee hoon is available in limited quantities daily, and their stall closes immediately upon selling out.

Best of all—nothing on the menu is priced above $2. Mei Wei also has tong shui desserts, red bean soup, and Cantonese-style peanut porridge for just $1.40!

While Good Pig Trotters’ fried bee hoon may be the priciest on the list, it still remains an affordable option below the $5 mark.

Consider the stall’s other local dishes too, including their Laksa ($5.50) and similarly priced Minced Meat Fishball Noodles.
