Mee Hoon Kway () or Banmian () is a popular noodle dish in Singapore. You can almost get them from any of our local coffeeshops and food courts. The dish is made up of handmade noodles served in simple light broth, usually with some vegetables, minced meat and topped with a half-cooked egg.Most Singaporean Chinese (especially ladies) love a bowl of piping hot Mee hoon kueh or Ban Mian (handmade noodles). There are a few key components to making this dish worth queuing for at our local food court. The most important one has to be the soup base then comes the texture of the noodles, the minced meat in the soup as well as the accompanying chilli dip. Yum yum yum! Im salivating at the thought of writing this (haha!). From what I understand, the name Ban Mian came from the Hakka Chinese' method of cutting the noodles into strands by using a wooden block as a ruler. I'm a Hakka but I never knew about this!
