Your questions answered
What is lor mee?
Lor mee is a Hokkien-style noodle dish of thick yellow noodles served in a starchy, five-spice braised gravy. It is usually topped with ingredients such as fried fish or ngoh hiang, braised egg and pork, then finished with garlic, black vinegar and chilli to taste.
How much does a bowl of lor mee cost in Singapore?
At hawker centres and coffeeshops, a bowl typically ranges from about S$2.50 to S$6, depending on portion size and toppings. Most standard bowls sit around S$3 to S$4.
Is lor mee halal?
Traditional lor mee is a Chinese hawker dish and its gravy and toppings often contain pork, so it is generally not halal. None of the stalls in this guide are listed as halal-certified. Muslim diners should verify directly with the stall before ordering.
Which areas have the most famous lor mee stalls?
Old Airport Road Food Centre is a well-known hub with more than one respected stall, and Tiong Bahru Market is another favourite. Beyond these, strong bowls are spread across neighbourhoods including Hougang, Toa Payoh, Amoy Street, Whampoa, Bishan and Clementi.
How do I eat lor mee like a local?
Add the provided minced garlic, black vinegar and chilli gradually and stir them through the gravy to balance the richness with tang and heat. Eat it quickly while hot, as the starchy gravy thickens as it cools.
