Among the long list of local hawker delicacies that Singapore is known for, the one that we find ourselves constantly craving is hokkien mee. We say this a lot about a lot of local foods, but it’s truly comforting food at its best. It’s flavourful, heady with a deep shrimpy aroma and lip-smacking with the addition of crispy pork lard, sambal chilli and a squeeze of fresh calamansi.
Truly, who can hate a dish as magnificent as fried hokkien mee? Supper cravings rendered you insomniac? Here is a list of late-night hokkien mee stalls in Singapore that’ll sort that out for you.
1. Ah Hock Fried Hokkien Noodles
This longstanding hawker gem is probably Chomp Chomp’s most famous stall, and for good reason. The fame surrounding this humble stall is well-founded but that said, you’ll have to brace waiting for a good 30 to 45 minutes for a plate depending on what time you visit. Well worth the wait nonetheless—a plate features an ample portion of rice, seafood and egg noodles soaked in a rich, umami-laden gravy with bits of cooked egg.
Address: 57 Garden Way, Chomp Chomp Food Centre Stall 27 Serangoon Gardens
Opening Hours: 5.30PM – 12AM (Tue to Sun), Closed on Mondays
Nearest MRT Station: Serangoon
2. Chia Keng Fried Hokkien Mee
While its taste and appeal don’t veer far off from its neighbour—the widely-renowned Ah Hock—many people swear by theirs due to its consistent taste and the fact that it’s the saucy, moist kind. For lack of memory space, many often refer to Chia Keng’s fried hokkien mee as the “green plate” hokkien mee. Their homemade chilli punches pretty high on the heat scale so unless you’re a spice lover, go easy with it.
Address: Stall #11, 20 Kensington Park Rd, Singapore 557269
Opening Hours: 5PM – 1AM (Daily)
Nearest MRT Station: Kovan
3. Kim’s Famous Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee
Local foodies will tell you that this joint in Eunos is iconic and that Kim’s is something of a legend as far as fried hokkien mee goes. But that being said, being legendary doesn’t count for much if an establishment fails to upkeep its standards, which tends to be the case here as reported many known foodies. Staying objective—food is subjective after all—their version of this iconic local dish is the moist sort, cooked in a broth heavily concentrated with prawn flavour and pork lard. It’s best enjoyed eaten with their homemade sambal coupled with a squeeze of fresh calamansi.
Address: 62B Jln Eunos, Singapore 419510
Opening Hours: 11AM – 1AM (Daily)
Contact: +65 6747 8766
Nearest MRT Station: Eunos
4. KPO
A bar that serves fried hokkien mee? Now, that’s certainly is unheard of. But who can really complain when its past midnight and you’re half past sloshed? At S$17 a serving, it’s unsurprising given the nature of the establishment. But the folks there swear by it, claiming that KPO’s version is stir-fried the “traditional” way with copious amounts of crispy pork lard, pork belly strips, squid and prawns. From photos, we won’t deny that it looks elevated in a good way, but whether it fairs well, we’ll leave that to the experts.
Address: 1 Killiney Rd, Singapore 239518
Opening Hours: 3PM – 1AM (Mon to Thu), 3PM – 2AM (Fri), 6PM – 2AM (Sat), Closed on Sundays
Contact: +65 6733 3648
Nearest MRT Station: Somerset
5. Lim Hokkien Fried Mee
We’ve covered a pretty extensive list of fried hokkien mee on this list so far but what makes these folks really stand out is the fact that their finished product features a surprising, mystery ingredient—ikan bilis. Located at a nondescript coffee shop along Changi Road lies a stall that’s apparently run by the brother of the owner of the more famous Kim’s Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee.
If you prefer the drier version of Hokkien mee, you’ll dig theirs for sure. It’s packed with umami and savoury goodness and the crispy bits of ikan bills really imbue the dish with something special both textural and flavour-wise.
Address: 427 Changi Rd, Singapore 419870
Opening Hours: 3PM – 12AM (Mon to Sat), Closed on Sundays

Nearest MRT Station: Kembangan
6. Route 65 Bar + Kitchen
Among this bar’s repertoire of burger, pasta and meat-forward mains, you’ll find a small yet modest variety of local favourites as well. Their Signature Hokkien Mee appears as a “chef’s recommendation” and is wok-fried with tiger prawns, squids, siew yoke pork, and homemade sambal belacan. Elevated with premium ingredients, this S$16 rendition is bound to satisfy your cravings.
Address: 3 Temasek Boulevard #01-434, Suntec City North Wing, Singapore 038983
Opening Hours: 11.30AM – 1AM (Daily)

7. Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee
Fit to stand among the ranks of some of Singapore’s greats, the fried Hokkien mee from Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee in Whampoa market brims with a heady aroma of prawn, pork and wok hei, all intermingled to create one sublime dish. The fluffy strips of the egg do well to absorb the stock’s essence, elevating the overall taste. For maximum enjoyment, stir in the sambal into the sauce. It’s pure heaven we promise!
Address: 90 Whampoa Drive, Singapore 320090
Opening Hours: 3.30PM – 1.30AM (Mon to Fri), 2PM – 1.30AM (Sat & Sun), Closed on Thursdays

8. Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles
Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles—which shares the same corner coffee shop as the coveted Punggol Nasi Lemak—is where you can satisfy your late-night cravings for this mouth-watering, wok hei-heavy noodle dish. Although their rendition did not feature crunchy fried pork lard in it—which is what’s typically used to give this dish its oomph factor—the dish did not fall short in terms of its aroma and flavour. Costing S$5 per plate, we like that the dish came with a generous portion of ingredients tossed together with the noodles. The best part? It opens until 3AM!
Address: 965 Upper Serangoon Rd, Singapore 534721
Opening Hours: 5PM – 3AM (Mon to Sat), 5PM – 12AM
