Michelin Bib Gourmand Hokkien mee stall at Old Airport Road, famed for its roasted pork and wet-gravy style.
Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee at Old Airport Road Food Centre is a revered hawker stall that has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation, serving one of Singapore's most iconic plates of Hokkien mee. What sets Nam Sing apart is its distinctive style — a wetter, more flavourful gravy generously ladled over a mix of yellow noodles and bee hoon, studded with prawns, egg, and the stall's signature roasted pork strips. The wok hei is unmistakable, the result of decades of expertise and a dedication to frying each portion to order. The menu is refreshingly simple, focusing entirely on Hokkien fried mee in standard and large portions. The stall is closed on Mondays and typically opens from around 8am to late afternoon, often with a queue of patient regulars. Dine-in at the hawker centre is the only way to go, as the dish is at its best the moment it leaves the wok. It suits hawker food purists, tourists chasing authentic local flavours, and anyone who believes Hokkien mee should be wet, smoky, and generous. When it comes to Hokkien mee done right, Nam Sing is the benchmark. Queue up, grab a seat, and taste why this stall has earned its Bib Gourmand stripes.Operating Hours

Went to this place a fair bit when I worked nearby. Food was lovely, although a slightly different take on HKM, as it is without pork. Staff were very nice and friendly, however, they do sometimes close on days they would normally be open …

The taste comes from method of cooking. Broth is slowly added to mee and beehoon over slow fire to allowed full absorption. That explains the long waiting time. Final serving is a somehow dry Hokkien mee unlike the conventional gravy rich …

Yes one of the few amazing ones - super dry without pork lard and sambar belacan. Maybe its healthier? The first few mouths were refreshing but...8 bucks for medium which is what I had and it comes with 4 half prawns. The smaller size is …
