This is a spicy balanced meal. It is a local recipe for
Singaporeans and Malaysians. This dish is a traditional hawker food and
commonly known as Mee Rebus in Asean Countries. Translated into English
the dish means simply "boiled noodles".This name is however misleading
as the dish is more than boiled noodles. It has a rich spicy sauce and
is served with an elaborate garnish.
A decade ago Mee Rebus was sold by hawkers who used to carry two baskets over a pole. At one of the pole in one basket will contain his traditional stove and a pot of boiling water. At the other end of the pole contained a basket with his ingredients for the Mee Rebus. After that they used pushed cart with a bicycle fixed to it when they have made enough money.
Lately, Mee Rebus is sold in local hawker centres.
