If you can’t resist a hearty plate of delicious noodles, you’ll love Raffles Courtyard’s latest collaboration with chef Shen Tan. She has specially curated a menu featuring three noodle-themed fusion dishes playfully titled Make Mee Great Again, infused with Singaporean and Southeast Asian flavours and a whole lot of creativity.

Chef Shen is the self-taught chef and owner of a private dining establishment, Ownself Make Chef. She is also the latest chef to join Raffles Coutyard’s Private Chef Series which aims to feature culinary creations created by local chefs.
Her unique menu starts out with the Bee Tai Mak-velous Ulam Pesto which is a rendition of a local favourite, Bee Tai Mak. Chef Shen skillfully melds the classic Italian paste with Southeast Asian flavours to produce a delightfully fresh and flavourful meal.
The chunky ulam pesto sauce clings beautifully to thick Bee Tai Mak noodles in this dish to give diners an incredible burst of flavour with every bite. The noodles come with fresh salted egg cured barramundi and prawns which complement the noodles perfectly and is also topped with crispy and salty ikan bilis, cucumber brunoise and cherry tomatoes for extra flavour.
You’ll want to pair this dish with Shen’s fiery and fragrant sambal belachan for a spicy kick that adds an extra layer of flavour to an already packed dish.
