Yunos N Family - Javanese Mee Rebus Recipe Since 1965

If there’s one hawker stall that has stood the test of time in Ang Mo Kio, it’s Yunos N Family. Born in 1965 — the same year Singapore gained its independence — this Muslim-owned stall at Ang Mo Kio Central Market & Food Centre has spent six decades perfecting a menu rooted in Javanese tradition.

Founded by the late Haji Yunos Ahmad, who first started slinging mee rebus from a humble pushcart along Hastings Road, the stall is now lovingly run by his son, grandson, and a close circle of family members. This isn’t just food — it’s a living legacy served one bowl at a time.

Mee Rebus ($4 – $6.70)
Yunos N Family’s mee rebus is the real draw, and for good reason — they offer over nine variations, making it arguably the most extensive mee rebus menu on the island. The classic base bowl starts at $4, featuring springy yellow egg noodles drenched in a thick, glossy gravy built on a blend of spices, sweet potato, and shrimp paste. The result is a sauce that’s simultaneously sweet, savoury, spicy, and nutty — a complexity that reflects the stall’s Javanese roots. Toppings include silky tau kwa, dried shrimps, beansprouts, a hard-boiled egg, and a squeeze of lime to cut through the richness.

For those who want to level up, the special menu lets diners customise their bowl with additional proteins. The Mee Rebus Drumstick ($6) comes loaded with a whole drumstick, while the Mee Rebus Babat ($5.50) features tender braised beef tripe — a crowd favourite among regulars who know their order before they even join the queue. The star of the special menu, though, has to be the Mee Rebus Tarik (Satay) ($6.70), where the mee rebus gravy takes on a distinctive nutty satay-like quality that makes it unlike any other version in Singapore.

Mee Soto / Soto Ayam ($4 – $4.50)

On the lighter end of the spectrum sits the mee soto, a clear and fragrant chicken broth that packs a quiet punch. Diners can choose their carb — yellow noodles, bee hoon, or kway teow — and every bowl comes with shredded chicken, beansprouts, and coriander. The Mee Soto Dinosaur ($5.50) is a fan favourite for those who love their bones — it arrives loaded with bony parts like the neck and rib cage, delivering a deeper, more robust flavour with every sip. The Mee Soto Chicken Babat ($4.50), which once won the Foodies Choice award on Class 95, features tripe that’s been meticulously cleaned and slow-cooked until meltingly tender. Don’t forget to add both of their house chillies — they bring a sweet heat that transforms the soup entirely.

Gado-Gado ($4.50)

Yunos N Family’s gado-gado is something of a neighbourhood legend. A classic Indonesian salad of blanched vegetables, tau pok, hard-boiled egg, and rice cake, it all comes together under a thick, house-made peanut sauce that’s rich, nutty, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too cloying. For many regulars, this is their go-to even on days they weren’t planning to queue.

Satay ($0.60 – $0.90/stick, minimum 10 sticks)

The satay here is done the old-school way — charcoal-grilled to order, with a signature smoky char that you simply can’t replicate on gas. Choices include Chicken, Beef, Mutton, and Tripe, all marinated in-house and served alongside a thick, nut-forward peanut dipping sauce. The skewers come out golden and slightly caramelised on the outside while remaining juicy within. Since the satay is freshly grilled, diners are handed a buzzer to collect their sticks later — a small wait that is absolutely worth it.

Yunos N Family is the rare hawker stall that manages to honour a 60-year-old family recipe while continuing to evolve and expand its offerings. The sheer variety of mee rebus and mee soto options alone makes it worth a dedicated trip to Ang Mo Kio — and the prices are a steal given the quality and generosity of each portion. Yes, there’s almost always a queue, but it moves fast. This is heritage food done right, kept alive by people who genuinely care about it, and every bowl reflects that pride.
