Description
- Proudly Made in Singapore
- Mee Siam is a beloved Malay or Nonya/Peranakan noodle dish of stir fried vermicelli in a deliciously appetising sweet and sour gravy. This is commonly served as a breakfast dish, but it can be a mealtime favourite too.
- The Siam in Mee Siam comes from Thailands old name. The dish got its name due to the sourness in it, which is a typical Thai flavour profile. This is a Singaporean and Malaysian dish though, funnily enough there isnt such a thing as Mee Siam in Thai cuisine! This is a Malay dish, but can be considered as a Nonya or Peranakan dish as well.
Mee siam is a dish of thin rice vermicelli of hot, sweet and sour flavours, originated in Penang but popular among the Malay and Peranakan communities throughout Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, although the dish is called "Siamese noodle" in Malay and thus appears to be inspired or adapted from Thai flavours when Thailand was formerly known as Siam. Mee siam is related to kerabu bee hoon although there is a significant difference in the recipe.
