"Singapore"-style noodles (Chinese: 星洲炒米; pinyin: xīngzhōuchǎomǐ; Jyutping: sing1 zau1 caau2 mai5) is a dish of stir-fried cooked rice vermicelli, curry powder, vegetables, scrambled eggs and meat, most commonly chicken, beef, char siu pork, or prawns, yellow in colour.[1] Singapore noodles are a Cantonese creation, and are very common in Cantonese-style restaurants and take away eateries in Hong Kong.[2][3] The dish is now a very popular dish in Chinese restaurants and takeaways operated in various countries.[3]

The dish itself has no connection to Singapore where it is not known;[3] though there is a similarly named stir-fried noodle dish known as Xingzhou mifen (星洲米粉) or Xing Chow Bee Hoon, where Xingzhou is a poetic name for Singapore, in neighbouring Malaysia.[4] Unlike Singapore noodles, Xing Chow Bee Hoon uses tomato paste, and does not necessarily use curry powder.[1] [5]
