Description:
The Mee Rebus is a Singaporean Malay dish that consists of yellow egg noodles with assorted ingredients in a thick spice rich gravy. Also known as Mi Rebus, or Mie Rebus, the Mee Rebus is usually priced around SGD $3 to $8 per serving. It's a popular dish commonly eaten for breakfast or lunch.

With a name that translates to "Boiled Noodles", it's no surprise that the base of Mee Rebus features boiled yellow egg noodles, chewy soft with grainy sweet flavour. This is typically accompanied by an assortment of ingredients, including crisp bean sprouts with vegetal sweet flavour, spongy tofu puffs with grainy savoury flavour, bouncy hard boiled chicken egg with eggy sweet flavour, crisp fried shallots with vegetal earthy salty savoury flavour, and crisp sliced green chili or red chili with vegetal spice flavour.

The defining element in Mee Rebus is the thick luscious gloopy gravy, carrying robust sweet savoury salty sour zesty tangy nutty earthy spice flavour. The gravy is typically made with a blend of chicken stock or beef stock, mashed potato or mashed sweet potato, dried shrimp or shrimp paste, fermented soy bean paste, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, salt, white sugar, lemon juice or lime juice, crushed peanuts, dried red chili, and optionally candlenuts, coriander, or curry powder.

Best eaten quickly when hot, a Mee Rebus will have sufficient gravy that is picked up with every mouthful of noodles. Simple and quick to prepare, yet hearty and filling, the Mee Rebus is a staple and affordable hawker dish, often regarded as being amongst the quintessential comfort meals in Singapore.
