With a name like "Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee", this stall at Whampoa Makan Place has a lot to live up to – not to mention it was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand for "good quality" and "good value cooking".
Unfortunately, it seems to fall short of expectations, especially if you take a look at the Google reviews.
So what went wrong with this plate of hokkien mee?
According to a food reviewer, there was an imbalance between the sweet and savoury flavours, and the prawn stock's characteristic brininess was frustratingly faint. There was also a notable lack of wok hei and pork lard was only served upon request.

Apple's week-long Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicked off on Monday (9 June) with a keynote and here are all the highlights.
The announcements aren't that splashy but the biggest one is probably the new iOS 26, which brings with it the largest software design overhaul for Apple since iOS 7 in 2013. All new Apple devices will get a new look dubbed "Liquid Glass" – one that was inspired by the Vision Pro's translucent software display.
The new design will feature see-through visuals that appear to have a glossy surface.
The new iOS 26 also marks the start of a new OS naming convention for Apple. The name of Apple's operating system typically increases by 1 each year, but it'll now be OS 26 for all of their devices. This brings the naming convention in line with the year in which customers will use it.
Apple Intelligence is also getting some updates with the biggest announcement being that it'll open up its on-device AI model to third-party app developers.
It'll also use the technology to improve other functions of the phone, such as Apple Maps, which will now remember users' preferred routes and tailor directions for them – which means that your coffee runs will no longer be a detour.
However, Apple didn't reveal more on its plans for a more capable, AI-enhanced Siri. This was first announced at last year's WWDC but later indefinitely delayed.

A US judge dismissed actor Justin Baldoni's US$400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively on Monday (9 June).
Lively had accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming the 2024 movie It Ends With Us, and Baldoni's lawsuit was a response to that. She still seeks unspecified triple and punitive damages, and a March 2026 trial remains scheduled.
The judge also dismissed another related $250 million lawsuit from Baldoni against the New York Times for its 21 Dec, 2024 article on their dispute titled "'We Can Bury Anyone': Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine".

A study by the National Institute of Education (NIE) aims to examine how the well-being of girls, who are at greater risk of stress and problematic behaviours, are affected by life in Singapore's top schools.
There will be 4,200 secondary school girls recruited from the study. Participants will be recruited from three girls' school and one co-ed school in Singapore. The inclusion of the co-ed school was to recruit a smaller group of boys for comparison, explained the study's lead investigator, Dr Jacqueline Lee Tilley.
Researchers have defined a top school as as schools where students consistently perform well in national exams or co-curricular activities. This study is the first of its kind in Singapore and will be conducted over three years, from 2025 to 2028.
The four schools were not been named, but The Straits Times understands that Methodist Girls' School is one of them.

This mind-bending sci-fi thriller movie you missed in theaters is now streaming — and it's a dark cosmic nightmare
Sci-fi horror is the ultimate combo and no one can convince me otherwise. In fact, if you asked me to name my all-time favorite franchise, 'Alien' would be right at the top, no question. It set the gold standard for space terror and nothing will ever take its place. So when I first saw the trailer for the sci-fi flick called 'Ash,' I couldn't help but be curious given my intense passion for the genre. 'Ash,' in a few simple words, is a neon-soaked thrill ride that made me feel a little delirious once it finished. It centers around an astronaut who wakes up alone on a deserted space station with no memory of what happened to her crew. From there, she must try to piece together the mystery. It's a simple premise, really. But this is one to go in with zero expectations, because once you think you've got a grasp on where 'Ash' is headed, it completely derails those thoughts. While its experimental nature may be divisive to some (just look at its Rotten Tomatoes score), I think it's a solid watch, and one worth adding to your watchlist now that it's on Shudder and PVOD platforms like Amazon and Apple. If you're a fan of horror-thrillers set in space or just looking for a wild experience on Shudder, 'Ash' is a perfect pick. Here's why it deserves your time now that it's streaming. 'Ash' follows Riya (Eiza González), an astronaut who awakens alone on a remote space station orbiting a distant planet. She quickly discovers that her entire crew is dead under mysterious circumstances, and her own memory is fragmented, making it difficult to piece together what happened. As Riya explores the eerie, dimly lit station, she encounters Brion (Aaron Paul), a man who claims to have come to rescue her. Together, they attempt to unravel the cause behind the crew's demise. However, Riya's fragmented recollections and growing suspicion about Brion's intentions create a tense and uncertain dynamic between them. The space station itself is filled with malfunctioning systems and unexplained phenomena, increasing the danger at every turn. I'd easily buy the idea that 'Ash' began as a music video for Flying Lotus that was later expanded into a full-length movie. The movie's pacing and vibe have that loose, experimental feel you often see in music videos, as it drifts between moments, sometimes focusing on story, other times just soaking in striking, surreal imagery. Flying Lotus, who wrote and directed the movie, mixes a small-scale sci-fi drama with bursts of intense, sometimes unsettling scenes. The result is less a conventional story and more a mood piece that invites you to experience its world without the usual narrative rules holding it back. González pretty much carries this movie on her shoulders. From the opening moments of waking up on the floor to blaring red lights, then navigating the eerie space station and the brutalized corpses in her path, she holds your attention completely. She portrays fear and confusion so convincingly that you genuinely feel for her being trapped in such a horrific situation. 'Ash' is genuinely so impressive in terms of its mind-bending visuals and soundtrack. Flying Lotus creates a world that feels dreamlike and disorienting, soaked in neon reds, purples, and eerie shadows. It reminded me of 'Prometheus' meets 'Annihilation,' but run through a blender of fever-dream surrealism. There's also gnarly practical gore and textured effects that make the horror feel real. I guarantee that pausing the frame at any second will give you something visually pleasing. Aside from the look of this movie and a strong performance from González, the story is where 'Ash' loses a few points. It plays with some really familiar sci-fi horror ideas (like amnesia, mysterious deaths, and a stranger who may or may not be trustworthy), and doesn't really do much to push them in a new direction. The pacing is painfully slow in the middle section, and I wish González had a stronger script to work with, because it felt as though she was being held back. Basically, if you're going in for the visuals and atmosphere, you'll have a great time. But if you're hoping for a tightly written, emotionally rich story, this one might leave you cold. Either way, it's some intense stuff. 'Ash' had a pretty limited run in theaters, so there's a good chance it slipped under the radar for a lot of people. That makes its arrival on Shudder the perfect opportunity to finally check it out. What Flying Lotus does is take a familiar setup and twist it into something totally his own. The movie plays out like a brutal, cinematic version of a space survival game, where the tension builds alongside the strange, atmospheric score that never lets you get too comfortable. Watching it feels a bit like being pulled into a surreal void. 'Ash' has a respectable 71% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the site's critic consensus reading: 'Flying Lotus' Ash delivers the phantasmagorical goods with vivid visuals and a throbbing soundscape, elevating a predictable sci-fi story into a memorably stylish head-trip.' Audiences rated it lower at 55% for its pacing issues and weak plot, which are points I can't really disagree with. So, if you're in the mood for something that looks incredible, plays with your expectations, and isn't quite like anything else streaming right now, 'Ash' is worth the watch on Shudder.
