Hokkien Mee-Loving Netizens Debate Ideal Ratio For Bee Hoon & Noodle After Hawker Switches From Using Thick Bee Hoon To Thin

The hawker was apparently inspired by a customer’s request for “a ratio of 7:3 noodles vs. thin bee hoon”, and decided to swap the ingredient permanently.

Those who live to eat would naturally have specific preferences for food. But just how specific? According to a recent discussion by Facebook netizens, this extends to a magic ratio for bee hoon to noodle for Hokkien mee.

In a post on Facebook group Hokkien Mee Hunting, a treasure trove of recommendations for HKM-loving folks, member Tony Chia mentioned Geylang Bahru stall Ah Ong Hokkien Mee.


He wrote: “I believe Ah Ong HKM will be the topic these two weeks [sic] after he decided to permanently switch from thick bee hoon to thin bee hoon.”

He added that he “remembered the first time I requested for thin bee hoon was 10 Sep”, and that the hawker “Ah Ong was slightly reluctant ’cos no one requested [for it] before but he gladly cooked a plate for me. He later explained that the senior citizens here got used to his HKM with thick bee hoon and the usual ‘healthy’ taste (the flavour is not too rich). I agreed with him as it is an old estate.”

Tony, whom we think could have earned a phD in Hokkien mee, also noted in his post: “Today, I asked him to do a ratio of 7:3 noodles vs thin bee hoon and told him that people may start requesting this ratio soon.”
