Mee siam (lit. 'Siamese noodles') is a dish of thin rice vermicelli of hot, sweet and sour flavours, originating in Penang but popular among the Malay and Peranakan communities throughout Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, although the dish is called "Siamese noodle" in Malay and thus appears to be inspired by or adapted from Thai flavours when Thailand was formerly known as Siam. Mee siam is related to kerabu bee hoon although there is a significant difference between the recipes.
