Kim’s Famous Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee

Tryson Quek, chef-owner of Side Door, says, “While the founder of this popular stall passed away last year, I still frequent it whenever the Hokkien mee itch strikes. Founded in 1971, the stall has a rich history, and the late owner was iconic; famed for wearing a long-sleeved business shirt and pants with a giant gold Rolex on his wrist, all while frying up Hokkien mee in the hot and humid conditions. I got hooked by the crispy pork lard (always ask for extra) and the spicy red chilli relish that helps enhance the flavours of the dish.”
