This is my version of Singapore Noodle which i think it was how Malaysians cook it - WITHOUT curry powder. I find the curry powder too overpowering and i like my version which is slightly sweeter and spicy.

you think this looked terrible and poor me had to do prison duty removing the head and tails, you have not seen worse.
you don't know how lucky you are to be in malaysia
I am good and hope you and your family are good too
I am so glad you posted this Lily!
The husband ordered Singapore Mei Fun on Friday and insisted it was the real thing. I kept telling him No because it should NOT have CURRY in it.
Case won after reading your recipe! :)
I prefer Singapore Noodles with
curry powder.To me, there's a big different if Singapore noodles hv no curry powder.Lolx. UK's version of Singapore Noodles is completely different if compare to Malaysia one. Especially the taste.
I have been visiting yr blogs for recipes. Keep up the great work. I just came to Dallas 3 mths ago... and luckily I could still get all ingredients that I need :)
Everywhere I go I keep seeing Singapore Noodles in Chinese restaurants, but how come I'm from Singapore and didn't know we had noodles like that???
Whatever it is, I agree with you, NO curry powder. Our fried bee hoon doesn't ever have curry powder whatever you may call it.
im from singapore and it tickles me everytime i see Singapore noodles in menus. lol. anyway, i think this dish is our "Xing Chou Mi Fen" ... they dont cook it with curry powder here in singapore.
In Singapore, thin rice noodles are called beehoon (a Malay word). You can't get this dish in Singapore, however. A few famous noodle dishes in Singapore are char kway teow, hokkien mee, and mee rebus.
I've seen a Chinese takeaway in England called it 'Nasi goreng rice noodle' lol
Can I check with you what sort of chilli sauce do you use for this freid bee hoon? Is it the thai sweet chilli? If it's not can you recommend a good chilli sauce that is versatile to cook most Asian dishes? Thanks
happy belly
since you are in singapore, i would suggest Linghams or maggi, they are not so spicy and sweeter. If you prefer spicy, use siracha and adjust the taste with a tinge of sugar

Hi Lily,
I know you recommend the Lingam's Chilli Sauce, but i am in The States too :(, so i am wondering what kind of chilli sauce would you recommend for me.
Thanks!

when i cook, i usually do not depend on brand. I would use whatever spicy and adjust the taste with sugar and vinegar.
Hi Lily,
I am from Malaysia and staying in small town in Japan now. I missed Malaysia food so much, tried your recipe last week, love it very much. I love it without chili powder. Thank you for sharing,
