Singapore noodles?

Seriously, it dawned upon to me.. What the hell is 'Singapore noodles?' Why didnt we have that kind of food back in Singapore?

The fact is, tell any hawker cooking your food " I want Singapore noodles". The first thing they will go is like " har?"
We all know that there is no such item or dish called " Singapore noodles" in Singapore. From the pics of it, it looks like a cross-mix of just what we call, "Fried beehoon" or " Fried mee". But the fact is, i have never came across hawkers selling these dishes cooked like that, ( Prob only my mum or homecooked style, yes)

So come to think of it, when im here in a Western Country, this dish is so popular. Many times i would wanna try it, its like, they don't call it " Singapore noodles" for nothing. I was raised in Singapore, so duh, im surprised i haven tried this dish yet that claims its association with SG.

They asscociate this dish with Singapore, but yet, that country doesnt even provide or have this dish existing... How ironic..

I guess its just a name of a dish created to resemble the country. Its just like " California roll is DEFINITELY not created and from California. And if i was to go France, and ask for " french fries" im gonna get a few stares. Shall i just say, those which country names in a dish/food, are definetly created by someone not from that country... so duh...
