Hand Made Goodness From This Hawkerpreneur

Always good to see passionate new Hawkerpreneurs. This former Raffles alumni gave up a comfortable career in aviation, to pursue his dream of making traditional noodles (out of a love for eating said noodles), and to prove to himself that he could run a hawker food business on his own.

Boon's Noodles Facade

Boon's Noodles Menu

Having apprenticed under a master chef, who taught him the art of hand making each of the components of this homely dish; Chan Boon Wee has since worked on improving the recipes for his Mee Hoon Kway / Ban Mian / You Mian noodles; listening to customer feedback and tweaking the dish for balance.

The Mee Hoon Kway / Ban Mian / You Mian noodles are freshly hand made everyday, and have a delightful texture, being springy with a soft chew.

Like A Boss

The Home Made Chili is derived from a family recipe, and packs a spicy punch. Good sharp fiery kick, with the spicy heat lingering for a short while on the palate.

Home Made Chili

The Mee Hoon Kway / Ban Mian / You Mian noodles pair well with the beautifully crisp fried anchovies, and tender braised shiitake mushrooms. Completed with sliced pork loin, hand made pork meat balls, and a choice of either spinach, or the unique mani cai / cekur manis / sweet leaf. A soft boiled egg lends a silky smooth texture. Overall, a delicious bowl, with earthy savoury salty sweet flavours all at once. Great value for money.

You Mian

Home Brewed Soup / Broth

Noodles Lift

The You Mian Soup (SGD $3.50) has a home brewed broth that is rich with umami flavour from stewing anchovies and pork. Soulful and comforting. The You Mian Dry (SGD $3.50) has a secret recipe soy sauce, which is also rich in umami flavour, and is so satisfiying. Regulars seem to go for the soup / broth version. Don't forget to try the home made pork lard!

Update Jun-2019: Have been visiting Boon's Noodles periodically, when I can spare the time. Really, the Ban Mian here has spoiled me; I just can't eat a lower quality bowl elsewhere anymore. The gold standard of traditional hand made noodles is here.

Traditional Hand Made Noodles

The time we tried the Ban Mian Soup (SGD $3.50). These flat, medium wide noodles have a thicker chew to texture, and are more filling.

We also tried the Fish You Mian Dry (SGD $4.50). This has the addition of tender slices of Spanish mackerel fish slices, which have a lovely delicate sweet savoury flavour. You can also opt for all fish slices without any pork, on request.
