This carrot cake is really good. The texture is soft, and the flavors are well-balanced. Definitely one of the best I’ve tried, and worth trying if you like carrot cake. Will definitely come back again.

It has more than 30 stalls and can accommodate 600 people. Good ventilation, thanks to high ceilings, an open layout, and large High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) ceiling fans.
Prices are okay. Quality varies.
HKM: $5, $8, $10
Carrot cake: $3, $5
Parking: There is an MSCP right inside Anchorvale Village.
A kids' playground is located on Level 4 and can be reached via stairs from Level 3.

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 had 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 wasn't 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.
We'd 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 wasn't quite up to our standards.

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

A plate of very high-standard Hokkien mee. It comes with two different types of chilli, which are the best of both worlds. The noodles come with a nice punch of wok hei, and the umami taste was clearly evident. Highly recommended.

I have always enjoyed their Hokkien Mee since they were at Kovan.
Glad they opened an outlet here in Anchorvale Hawker.
This time around, I had an $8 portion and a $3 white carrot cake.
I liked the taste of the Hokkien Mee as usual. This time, however, I was unable to taste any wok hei.
I am not a fan of white carrot cake, but I tried it here. The taste was a bit bland, even with chilli. It was okay, but not for me.

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.

I am perplexed how some can give this one star, claiming it has no taste. Maybe they don't know what Hokkien Mee is, or what 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.

Donkey and I were craving some good ol' Hokkien Mee, and Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee definitely delivered. We both agreed it was a delicious and satisfying bowl. 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 have been crispier. We'll definitely be back for another satisfying taste of this classic dish!

This exceptional Hokkien mee dish sets a high 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.
