There are many Penang dishes that carry the name of Penang but the dish is completely disfigured and butchered and it carries a bad name for Penang. In Malaysia, Singapore fried noodles are cooked with ketchup, perhaps that Singaporeans food uses a lot of ketchup? I don't know. Jan – I agree it’s annoying.

I see the name all over Aussie and NZ, and a Malaysian who grew up in Perth insisted that such a dish exists because her dad cooks it!!! Yes, it irritates me too to see the Singapore name attached to a dish that doesn't exist in Singapore. I’m a born and bred Singaporean, and there really is no such dish as Singaporean fried noodles.

Singapore noodles got their name because, for a long period of time (in the 19th century), that's where the British East India company had a port. Obviously, the BEI was shipping curry powder along with other exotics. The name was attached in the 20th century, in the Chinese province of Canton, a stop further along the BEI's line. The four Chinese cuisines that were transplanted to the west with immigration were Szechuan, Peking, Hunan, and... Canton. I've heard that in most parts of China outside of Guangdong, they associate the dish with Guangdong rather than Singapore, but I don't know whether that's true. At any rate, the name (1) was not affixed by any westerner, and (2) is actually very much related to Singapore's history as a port. It’s actually not that complicated.

I'm a Singaporean too, and there's no such thing as Singapore bee hoon... Order bee hoon in Singapore and it's either vegetarian bee hoon (complete with curry cabbage and mock meat and beancurd skin)... or economical bee hoon, which yup, as anonymous and fangie said, usually comes with egg, luncheon meat, etc... Strikes me as fun to trace the roots of food names. =) Wonder who named the dish Singapore bee hoon... they should have popularized it in Singapore first! And ya, agreed about US chinese food. Americans swear by Panda Wok. And insist General Tsao's chicken is REAL CHINESE FOOD. And moo shu chicken. I'm like... excuse me? Those are dishes created by Chinese immigrants to suit the US tastebuds... ok so perhaps they qualify as real chinese food because they were developed by the Chinese. But that's a tenuous line... Ok, sorry! that was a side point, but the comments abt US food just started me on my rant! Hoho this is fun.

You see them in zi char stall menu but it is not popular. <br/><br/>Like what anonymous said, what is more common is bee hoon fried simply in dark soy sauce and with bean sprouts (斋米粉). Besides egg, luncheon meat, you can also have it with otah, crispy fried chicken wing, sambal long beans, fish cake...I'm definitely missing home food, but not Singapore fried bee hoon.
