Such is the love for hokkien mee among Singaporeans that if a stall is good, a long queue is soon to follow. This is the case with The Neighbourwok in Bukit Batok, which is now one of the most popular hokkien stalls in the West. It’s become so successful that it now has two more outlets: one at Owen Road, and the other at Clementi Mall’s Hawkers’ Street food court.

A plate of Hokkien Mee here starts from $5, and it’s what you’d expect of the wet variety—yellow noodles and thick bee hoon drenched in a viscous, seafood-based broth. The $6 and $8 portions will get you a lot more noodles and ingredients, naturally, so you can expect loads of pork belly, a few prawns, sambal on the side, and thick, fluffy pillows of pork lard.

One of our writers is a particularly big fan of the hokkien mee here. He praises the depth of flavour of its seafood broth, its generous portions, and tasteful wok hei that’s not too overpowering. The chilli is also said to be sharp and tangy, serving as a good contrast to the savoury broth.

Interestingly, the stall is also known for its Satay, with each stick priced from $0.80. They’ve got your usual chicken, pork, and mutton skewers, and you can also order some Ketupat ($1) to pair with those.
