Celebrated table
The story
Hup Kee Teochew Fishball Mee occupies a modest stall in the bustling Mei Ling Market & Food Centre, a short walk from Queenstown. This unassuming spot earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, placing it among Singapore’s most noteworthy street food destinations.
The stall’s name says it all: Teochew-style fishball noodles. The bowl typically features springy fishballs, tender fishcake slices, and chewy noodles in a clear, savoury broth – a staple of the Teochew tradition. The broth is light yet deeply flavoured, allowing the quality of the fishballs to shine.
Like many of Singapore’s best hawker centres, the experience here is no-frills. Order at the stall, find a seat among the communal tables, and enjoy a bowl that has earned international recognition without losing its local roots. It’s a testament to how simple, well-executed street food can stand alongside fine dining on the world stage.
