Mee Hokkien (Phuket Hokkien Noodles)
🍜
Photo coming soon
The dish is named after Hokkien (Fujian) in southern China, where many of the Chinese families who settled in Phuket came from.
Thick yellow egg noodles wok-fried with egg, pork, squid, prawns and greens in a little stock, so they come out moist and savoury. Sold at old shophouse counters and noodle stalls across Phuket Town.
Why it's made this way: Phuket's large Hokkien Chinese community brought the dish, and it is one of the island's best-known local foods, easy to find almost everywhere on the island.
