If their decades of history wasn’t testament enough, Ru Yi Yuan’s Vegetarian Bee Hoon ($3.50) was voted as one of the best in Singapore in a survey by local radio station UFM100.3. Along with each plate of these savoury and peppery noodles, you’ll get to choose from an assortment of fried ingredients such as beancurd skin, mock meats, and mixed vegetables. Accompany all these with pickled green chillies and a spicy sambal sauce.
