We live in a society whereby people think Singapore is in China. That could explain the origins of the Singapore Noodles.

I lived in Singapore for years and now live in the very northern part of Colorado and there’s no good singaporean places here not even close ! And it makes me roll my eyes whenever I see the “Singapore noodle” I miss chicken rice 😭

[Weeping-Angel]

Wth!?! I’m from San Francisco and I eat 星洲炒米 almost every week, thinking it was from Singapore the whole time🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[meekayluh]

[orhokcan]

Anyone came here from eatbook's Singapore noodles video?🤣 omg rainer was a little skinnier🤭

[giddygirl]

I am American and Singaporean PR but people don’t believe it because I am Chinese

[hlmcmahon]

My 2 cents - a dish invented by Hong Kong chefs; curry is akin to Singapore so the name is derived.

[sethryanchin]

I had no idea watching this video would leave me with an existential crisis with the origins of Singapore Noodles thanks James

[claireletricia]

Hell no, living in Australia I have to tell my partner numerals time that Singapore noodles has nothing to do with Singapore.
I miss Singapore food everyday and Papa Rich is all I’ve got here. Better than nothing :)

Singaporean noodles originated in HK - when a Canto chef wanted to use ingredients (including curry powder) imported by the British from Singapore. So the "Singapore" in the name refers to the origin of the ingredients, not the recipe. It's just like how the drink called Bandung refers to Bahasa Melayu for pair (ie, rose syrup + water) rather than Bandung in Indonesia. It's not even that controversial, just a matter of understanding historical context. -.-

Eating rice with a fork instead of a spoon while it’s in your other hand. Wtf

[veewithlove]

Lmaoo I just realize that Singapore Noodle is like Mee Bandung. Mee Bandung dont exist in Bandung, Indonesia.

[izahraza]

Oh we have Singapore noodles here in Malaysia. Bihun Singapore! It's non spicy and superbly delicious usually served in school functions for breakfast. Hehehehehe

[LadySheila]

Maybe the Singapore noodles is Maggie curry. I miss Maggie curry. Why they don't sell it in Paris, France?

[ammo_conscious]

I am in Melbourne right now, and I guran-damn-tee you that Singapore noodle here baffles all Singaporeans. You can find it at Minh Xuong, China Bar, Rose Garden, Thai Culinary, Oriental Spoon, KL Bunga Raya, etc.
Have I tried it? Nope, because it looks exactly as how Dennis said it

In Malaysia(KL at least) there is a noodle dish called "Singapore meehoon" and it has ketchup in it instead of soy sauce. Quite tangy and appetising when it's fried with enough "wok hei" ..
