How to make Guinness Hokkien Mee

[THUNDERDUCK]

Well-versed foodies will understand the principle behind Newton Lim Kee Hokkien Noodles’ latest offering, Guinness Hokkien Mee.

This Wednesday and Thursday, a couple of enterprising hawkers are using the iconic Irish stout to add depth and complexity to one of Singapore's best loved local dishes.

Far from confusing the palate, the result is a malty, sweet undertone to the sauce, rather than the bitterness one might expect. Once the noodles start to cool, the familiar notes of the hops behind the Guinness begin to emerge.

Created to pay tribute to Guinness’ 142-year association with Singapore, if you’re curious to give it a try (or perhaps a little dubious about the combination) judge for yourself by sampling the Guinness Hokkien Mee by Newton Lim Kee Hokkien Noodles and Guinness Prawns and Guinness Squid by Boon Tat Street BBQ Seafood at the Singapore Food Trail.

And if you can't get enough of the good stuff, use the recipe below to re-create the Guinness magic at home.
