The best thing about Hup Lee is not only that they have several outlets across Singapore, but their overall consistency in quality! You can’t go wrong with either kway teow, fried noodles or fried bee hoon. Pair it with sides such as stir fried cabbage, spring rolls, fish cake, fish fillet, fried tofu, luncheon meat, sausages and chicken wings. Their bee hoon is on the oilier side, but other than that there’s nothing not to love.

The famous fried chicken wing brand was established in 1989, and has since expanded to three other outlets. They’re best known for their chicken wings that are crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. They are well-seasoned with an extra crispy batter that’s not too oily. Other than chicken wings, there is economic bee hoon here (of course) as well as other sides that are typical of most economic bee hoon stalls – long beans, otah, hot dog and ngoh hiang.
