Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee brings six decades of culinary heritage to Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre, representing authentic Singaporean wet-style Hokkien mee tradition that dates back to 1960. This family-operated stall showcases four generations of expertise, with recipes passed down through master-apprentice lineage that maintains the exact cooking techniques and flavor profiles that made the original Simon Road location legendary. Their expansion to five outlets across Singapore, including this newest Anchorvale location, demonstrates their commitment to preserving authentic Hokkien mee culture while serving new communities with time-honored traditions.
The signature wet-style Hokkien mee combines thick yellow noodles and thin rice vermicelli in rich stock derived from prawn heads and pork ribs, fried until the noodles absorb maximum flavor while achieving the perfect wok hei smokiness. What distinguishes their preparation is the dual chili accompaniment: a bright, sourish lime-spiked chili that cuts through the richness, paired with a sweeter, more mellow sambal that provides depth and complexity. The cooking process involves intense heat and precise timing, ensuring each plate delivers the authentic taste that has satisfied customers for over sixty years, from the original hawker generation to modern food enthusiasts.
Recent recognition includes a notable visit from Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, highlighting the cultural significance of this heritage stall in Singapore culinary landscape. Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee at Anchorvale Village continues their reputation as one of the most reliable joints for faultless Hokkien mee, offering both longtime residents and new Sengkang families access to authentic flavors that represent Singapore street food at its finest. Their presence in this modern hawker centre bridges traditional cooking methods with contemporary dining expectations, ensuring future generations can experience the authentic taste of Singapore heritage cuisine.
NEW (4⭐️) Realised something, the dry style FHKM loses the heat/ temperature really quickly, so if you order a $10 sharing portion (see 2nd picture) you'll expect a rather cold chow in almost "no time". Be warned.
OLD (3⭐️) Ok, they seem quite busy even around 2pm-ish on a Friday afternoon. The wait wasn't long, maybe ~12mins, and they were dishing out many plates as I collected mine
Now, before mixing in the chilli, it tasted really average, no wok hei, and I think your experience would fall flat if you came with a high expectation. I didn't, because I've read enough comments about it.
Nevertheless, it is not a bad FHKM at all ($5), especially after i mixed in the sambal (dark red chilli), I found myself enjoying it - and also discovered for myself- how big the role sambal plays in my FHKM :)
Lastly, the uncle taking order got stressed up dealing with the customer ahead of me.. maybe he is new, or the request/ order was an odd ball. Anyhow, let's be more patient with them. F&B is not easy.

Falls so much out from my expectation.
Went with an expectation, left with so much of disappointment.
This portion is $8, around 4-5 prawns. Chilli they gave quite little despite asking them to top it up twice.
The prawns taste weird, it doesn’t had that freshness in them even though the waiting time was close to half an hour. The turnover should ensure the ingredients to be constantly topping up hence maintaining the freshness of it.
No wok hey, quite disappointing.
No pork lard despite the fact that I went because everyone says there’s a lot of pork lard.
Taste was really below average. Will not go to this outlet anymore.

Simon Road Hokkien Mee living up to its name!! This joint is really good. One bite into it and you can feel its umami and work hey all rolled up into one.
I’m so happy that the NE finally has a decent Hokkien mee store. Wished it was nearer to me in Punggol!
Service at this place is also top notch. I made a mistake in my orders and they happily oblige without charging me extra. They are really out to ensure you have a good time and enjoy their food!
Wait can be long but all good things are worth waiting. Order a drink and just wait for the beeper to beep.
Oh the carrot cake - can eat la. Not the best but still crispy. For $3 I say it’s worth la.

A plate of very high standard Hokkien mee. It comes with two different type of chilli which is the best of both worlds. The noodles comes with a nice punch of wok Hei and umami taste was clearly visible. Highly recommended.
Omar A.
This carrot cake is really good. The texture is soft and the flavors are balanced well. Definitely one of the best I’ve tried and worth trying if you like carrot cake.
Will definitely come back again.

The carrot cake was perfectly fried, with the chay poh and chili complementing each other beautifully.
The Hokkien mee had a delightful wok hei aroma and was slightly on the wetter side, just the way we like it.

I tried their hokkien mee 2 weeks ago.
Till now still craving for the taste.
That’s show this stall has sufficient 水准 to attract us customers.
Quite a wait but,
- Firstly it is genuinely 香 with some squeeze drops of lime.
- Secondly it is 💦湿 type even after 🔥焖 for quite sometime.
- Thirdly, reasonable amount of de-shelled 🦐.
Today tried their 菜头粿(白)
Crispy good amount of fragrance + 🌶️ too.
Even PM Lawrence Wong was here to pay morning visit.
Those who commented and wondering why so long queue, no WOK HEI, no 🐷 Lard, well you guys are too picky. Majority still OK.
不能满足你们,那去别的地方吃吧。

During my school days, I used to frequent this stall at the corner coffeeshop on Simon Road.
This is the dry style Hokkien mee. This plate has wok hei and is full of flavour. Although I prefer the wetter version, this HKM is above average.
Service is acceptable.

Kitty and I were really excited to try Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee, so we cycled all the way from Punggol to the Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre for dinner We were both craving some good Hokkien Mee.
When we saw the poster Kitty commented that the Hokkien Mee looked a bit dry but we decided to give it a try anyway We shared an $8 portion of Hokkien Mee and a $3 plate of white carrot cake
The Hokkien Mee was actually nice. It wasn't as dry as the poster made it seem. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. We both wished we ordered the $10 portion because we ended up wanting more. The Hokkien Mee was even better with their sambal chili, which added a nice kick
Unfortunately, we weren't as impressed with their white carrot cake. They only had the white version and we were hoping for the black version as well. We both felt that the white carrot cake wasnt crispy or flavorful enough.
Overall the Hokkien Mee at Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee was a winner. It was worth the bike ride, but the carrot cake left us wanting more.
Wed give Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee at the Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre a 4 out of 5 stars The Hokkien Mee was delicious but the carrot cake wasnt quite up to our standards.
JD P
One of the rarest gem in Anchorvale Hawker Center, hokkien mee full of umami when every strand of noodle is soaked and cooked into its broth. Been here many times too.
Bryan Fang
Have always enjoyed their hokkien mee since they were at kovan.
Glad they opened one outlet here in anchorvale hawker.
This time round had an $8 portion and a $3 white carrot cake.
Like the taste of the hokkien mee as usual. This time unable to taste any wok hei though.
Am not a fan of white carrot cake but just to try here, taste is abit bland even though with chilli. It is ok but not for me.

Donkey and I were craving some good ol' Hokkien Mee, and Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee definitely delivered. We both agreed that it was a delicious and satisfying bowl of Hokkien Mee. The rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous portions made it a worthwhile visit. We also tried their carrot cake, which was good but could be more crispy. We'll definitely be back for another satisfying taste of this classic dish!

This exceptional Hokkien mee dish sets a remarkable benchmark for culinary excellence. Featuring springy yellow noodles and thick bee hoon stir-fried to perfection, it boasts the robust, smoky essence of *wok hei*—a testament to the chef’s skillful high-heat technique. The umami-rich flavors, derived from a luscious prawn-infused broth and tender morsels of pork belly or squid, linger delightfully on the palate. A standout feature is the duo of house-made chili sauces: one offering a fiery, piquant kick, and the other a tangy, slightly sweet accompaniment, creating a harmonious balance that elevates each bite. The dish’s aromatic depth, combined with its textural contrast of crisp bean sprouts and fragrant fried shallots, delivers a symphony of flavors. An absolute must-try for enthusiasts of authentic, expertly crafted street food, this Hokkien mee exemplifies why it’s a celebrated favorite among discerning diners.

I am perplexed how some can give this one star saying it has no taste. Maybe they don't know what hokkien mee or taste is. I admit the wok hei is weak, but the broth used is quite flavourful, the dual chilli also added nice dimensions to this dish. Of course it can be better, but I think the residents here will have a hard time naming a better hkm in seng Kang.

I tried their Hokkien Mee two weeks ago. Even now, I'm still craving the taste. That shows this stall has sufficient 水准 (standard) to attract customers.
There was quite a wait, but:
- Firstly, it is genuinely 香 (fragrant) with some squeezed drops of lime.
- Secondly, it is 💦湿 (wet) type even after 🔥焖 (braised/simmered) for quite some time.
- Thirdly, there's a reasonable amount of de-shelled 🦐 (prawns).
Today, I tried their 菜头粿 (white version). Crispy, with a good amount of fragrance + 🌶️ (chili) too. Even PM Lawrence Wong was here to pay a morning visit.
To those commenting and wondering why there's such a long queue, no WOK HEI (wok hei/wok breath), or no 🐷 Lard (pork lard): well, you guys are too picky. The majority are still satisfied. If it can't satisfy you, then go eat somewhere else.
