Here's a dish that isn't from where its name suggests. Despite being called Singapore Noodles, it was created in Hong Kong, most likely by Cantonese chefs after the Second World War, who were using curry powder, a British colonial addition to the southern Chinese kitchen. It's rarely found in Singapore itself.
So why the name? Most food historians think it was branding. Singapore sounded cosmopolitan and exotic, and the name made a simple curried noodle dish more appealing. It travelled with Cantonese cooks and became a fixture of menus around the world.
Kat keeps to what defines it: curry powder stir-fried through thin vermicelli noodles, with egg, mushrooms and mixed vegetables. It's a well-travelled dish with a surprising past, cooked fresh in St Albans.
