When HMHM first opened to much fanfare and hype, you either had to pre-order or wait in line (and pray) for a plate of their hokkien mee. Covid hit shortly and I guess it was a blessing in disguise as pre-orders were so much easier.
The hype has since died down so you can get a plate fresh within 10 minutes of your order. This was the first time I have actually had their hokkien mee fresh. There is a clear difference as warm soup stock tastes lighter and less starchy. The wok hey remained punchy but they appeared to be less generous with the ingredients.
I always thought that HMHM serves a good plate of hokkien mee. It's not at the level of Hainan or Yi Sheng but I would definitely not mind waiting in line for upto 30 minutes for it!
