Most people associate ban mian with comfort and warmth— and for good reason! These Chinese handmade noodles are in almost every hawker centre and food court, ready to give you the fulfilling meal you need on a rainy day.

If you’re like me and prefer your noodles dry, don’t fret! Most ban mian stalls offer a dry version where the silky broth is served on the side. Go all out with the chilli and sauces for a heavier flavour that packs a punch.
