The Four-Eyes Zai Fried Hokkien Mee: Hyped-up old-school wet HKM that’s only open for 4 hours

I’m not a fried Hokkien prawn mee fanatic. It’s not my favourite dish. Despite that, I’ve learned that I have very specific preferences regarding it: It must be the “wet style”, and absolutely no thin bee hoon. Only thick bee hoon and yellow noodles for me, and the ratio must be just right to avoid the yellow noodles overwhelming the entire dish. Thus, when The Four-Eyes Zai Fried Hokkien Mee popped up on my Instagram feed, I wanted to put their noodles to the test.

The Four-Eyes Zai Fried Hokkien Mee is located at Holland Drive Market & Food Centre. As for why the main signboard says “Fatty Cat Curry Rice”, it’s because Damon, the owner of Four-Eyes Zai, shares the stall with his cousin who sells curry rice during lunchtime.

The stall has been gaining quite a following since its opening. Some of the reviews made bold claims, such as “The best Hokkien mee in town! Seriously!!!!!”
The waiting time can be as long as an hour, so I arrived as early as I could. I didn’t see a queue, and thought I lucked out.
