Mee siam – thin rice vermicelli in a tangy, sweet-and-sour gravy built on tamarind (assam), fermented soybean (taucheo) and dried shrimp – is one of Singapore's most beloved breakfast plates, with recipes handed down through Malay, Peranakan and Chinese hawker families. This guide gathers well-regarded stalls and eateries spread across the island, from a Michelin-listed counter in Redhill to old-school stalls in Ang Mo Kio, Tekka, Ghim Moh and Punggol. Hawker opening hours and rest days change often and some stalls sell out by mid-morning, so please confirm timings, prices and halal status directly before you go.

Your questions answered
What is mee siam?
Mee siam is a Singapore and Malay dish of thin rice vermicelli served in a tangy, sweet-and-sour gravy made with tamarind (assam), fermented soybean paste (taucheo) and dried shrimp. It is usually topped with hard-boiled egg, tau pok (fried beancurd puffs), bean sprouts, chives and a wedge of calamansi or lime, with sambal on the side.
What is the difference between wet and dry mee siam?
Wet mee siam is served swimming in gravy, which is the most common style at hawker stalls. Dry mee siam tosses the noodles in a thicker, more concentrated sauce with little to no pooled liquid. Some stalls offer both, so it is worth asking when you order.
Which mee siam stall in Singapore is Michelin-recognised?
Jia Xiang Mee Siam at Redhill Food Centre (Blk 85 Redhill Lane, #01-35) has been listed in the Michelin Guide and is widely cited for its balanced, not-overly-sweet gravy and generous toppings. As with any hawker stall, expect queues and possible early sell-outs.
Are there halal mee siam options in Singapore?
Yes. Several Malay and Muslim-owned stalls serve mee siam, and some cafes such as The Royals Cafe have been described as halal-certified. However, certification and ownership can change, so always look for a current halal certificate on display or ask the stall directly before ordering if this matters to you.
What time should I go for mee siam?
Mee siam is most often a breakfast and lunch dish, and many stalls open very early and sell out or close by early afternoon. Going in the morning gives you the best chance of catching it fresh – and check each stall's rest days, as many close on Monday or Tuesday.
