For National Day, local champion Damian D’Silva has recreated the heritage Hokkien mee, using an original recipe that dates back to the 1990s which came even before the iconic hawker favourite, Rochor mee.

D’Silva’s creation, available on the à la carte menu until August 15, features a robust stock painstakingly made with a variety of ingredients, including dried anchovies, scallops, prawns, pork bones and prawn shells. This is the base of the dish, which also comprises yellow noodles tossed with pork lard, squid, chye sim and chives for extra flavour. Book here.
