Grandma Ban Mian 老妈子板面
In the heart of Singapore’s bustling central business district lies a hidden gem that serves up soul-satisfying bowls of handmade noodles — Grandma Ban Mian 老妈子板面. Located on the first floor of the ever-popular Amoy Street Food Centre, this humble stall has earned a loyal following for its comforting noodle dishes that blend traditional flavors with a home-style touch. True to its name, every bowl feels like it was prepared with the care of a loving grandma — simple, honest, and full of heart.
Grandma Ban Mian Menu
The menu at Grandma Ban Mian is focused and straightforward, but every item is packed with flavor. The star of the show is the Chilli Dry Ban Mian — springy handmade noodles tossed in a fragrant dried shrimp chilli sauce, topped with minced pork, crispy ikan bilis, mushrooms, a runny egg, and a handful of fresh greens. It’s spicy, savory, and seriously addictive.
For those who prefer a milder option, the Dry Ban Mian skips the heat but keeps all the other delicious toppings. And if you’re looking for something warm and comforting, the Ban Mian Soup is a perfect choice — served in a light, clear broth that lets the handmade noodles shine.
They also offer Mee Hoon Kueh, with hand-torn noodles in a hearty soup, as well as convenient take-home packs of their popular chilli noodles for days when you want to recreate the experience at home.
