I am a big fan of Fried Hokkien Mee. In fact, there are quite a number of food courts i have been through that serves very good Fried Hokkien Mee, however having one at Thye Hong's in Wisma Food Republic is the most unique experience I had..
My first queue at this stall, I was among the first 5 in the line, and from there I am able see how this hat-wearing chef meticulously add in and mixed up the ingredients and spices to be served for I think 10 plus person in that huge frying pan. He was like doing this thing for a "show" because a number of curious by passers in this stall stop to watch how he stir fries the noodles like playing fencing. From time to time, he also try the cooking noodles.. calculating from his taste buds if the stuffs he put in are in sync. In approx 12-15 minutes its done and ready to be serve in a dry leaf plate.
Though the taste is comparable to those i have taken from other food court, the food preparation and the presentation is the selling point here i should say. You wont be able to appreciate more this simple Fried Hokkien Mee if you did not see how it is being prepared by this master chef.
Cheers to hat-wearing chef!

Thye Hong is well-known for their Hokkien fried noodles, and is a mainstay in Bread Talk’s Food Republic, with the honor of having the longest queue in the upscale food court. The joke around is if you want to find Thye Hong, just see which stall has the longest queue and there you go, Thye Hong.
The main thing that amaze me about Thye Hong is actually the cook’s ability to churn out so many plates of hokkien mee at one go. The cook will perform for the long queue visible through the transparent glass, dishing out the hokkien mee with the big wok.
It is not easy to get the right taste for a plate of dish, let alone such a big quantity of hokkien mee, which i mean is quite a feat. As always, if you happen to be there when they served finish one round, be prepared to wait up till 15 minutes. While the cook is preparing the noodles, the lines behind is gradually forming up ready for the next round of “assault”.
Thye Hong Hokkien Mee ($4) The renown Thye Hong hokkien mee, comes with different prices of $4, 6, 8. I quite like the hokkien mee here, and being not a fan of food court, the only time i’ll patronise Food Republic is for, well Thye Hong hokkien mee. My companion find the hokkien mee to be on the salty side while i thought it is all right.
There’s different opinion about the chili too, for me i find it quite hot, but as my companion is a chill-eater, the ones here aren’t any kick for her. I tried Thye Hong hokkien mee at other outlets, but sad to say the standards differ. The one at Wisma Food Republic is still the best for Thye Hong.
