Selamat Datang Warong Pak Sapari

Selamat Datang Warong Pak Sapari is a hawker stall at Adam Road Food Centre, also known as Adam Food Centre, at 2 Adam Road. It sells Malay noodle dishes and soups. Its two best-known bowls are mee soto and mee rebus. The stall holds a Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026.

This is a family business, now run by the third generation. Sumadi Sapari's grandfather started it, and his father later adjusted the recipes to suit Singaporean tastes. Sumadi worked as an engineer for about two decades. He took over the stall when his father fell ill.

What to order

The Michelin Guide picks out two dishes as the ones to try:

• Mee soto: yellow noodles in a spiced chicken soup, topped with shredded chicken. The soup is Indonesian in style and starts with a house spice paste, or rempah. Eatbook found the broth peppery and rich, but not too salty.
• Mee rebus: yellow noodles in a thick, savoury gravy with fried tofu, a hard-boiled egg, chilli and lime. Sumadi told the Michelin Guide that he uses soybeans rather than peanuts in the gravy, with allergies in mind.

If you would rather skip the noodles, the stall also sells soups. Sup ayam is a chicken soup made from the same base as the mee soto. The Michelin Guide also mentions soups made with chicken gizzard, mutton tendon or beef tripe.

The setting

This is a simple hawker stall with no table service. You order and pay at the counter, then carry your bowl to a shared table. Adam Food Centre is small and sits beside the Bukit Timah Canal. Its stalls sell a mix of Malay, Indian and Chinese food.

Its neighbours include Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak, known for coconut rice with sambal and fried chicken wings. Many visitors share a few dishes from different stalls. Our Adam Road Food Centre page covers the other stalls and the centre's history.

• Payment: the Michelin Guide lists the stall as cash only, so bring small notes.
• Queues: lines can build from mid-morning, so an early visit helps.
