Mee Siam is yet another dish which I cannot force myself to crave, just like mee rebus, unfortunately. In order to appreciate this dish, perhaps I need to understand the oomph factor. But I have given up on eating this dish after some third try, so I probably need to try the best of the best mee siam there is in Singapore. I understand that there are Chinese, Peranakan, and Indian style mee siam, and from what I know, Indian style which is on the sweeter side, is not my taste. If the Peranakan one is lemak like laksa, then there are possibility that it would spark some interest.
Humble Japanese, trying to de-mystify Singapore cuisine and food culture. This is not a restaurant / stall rating blog.

It kinda reminds me the the Korean dish, "nang myun". Buckwheat noodles and water... the most boring dish EVER. Yet for some reason, Koreans love it. Your blog looks a lot nicer with the new layout, btw.
Thanks for your precious comment -R U Singaporean?
I'm Korean actually, but I love foods from all cultures. I saved two food blogs in my bookmarks that I frequent a lot. One is yours, and the other can be found here... http://everythingiate2008.blogspot.com/
I love Korean food as well. I guess Korean food is gaining popularity in Singapore too, because this past decade, there are lots of Korean business person flying in as an expat.
by the way in japan we do have a boring dish like nang myun (it will be unfair to say that this dish is boring b/c I have never tasted this before) rice with hot tea called ocha-zuke. Simply, cooked rice with hot tea with some garnishes like pickled sour plum, grilled salmon, etc. I actually find these simple dishes soothing at times (esp. hang over). I am sure nang myun tastes great too at times.
