Though I am Malaysian, somehow I prefer the Singapore Prawn mee compared to Malaysia's , which is basically based on the Penang prawn mee. I find the latter spicy and basically, lesser or smaller or no prawns, though the soup is nice. The prawn noodles in Singapore usually contains bigger prawns with a light but non-spicy soup. The soup brings out the raw prawn flavour which I love it and some put in some pork ribs to go with it. Of course, with the bigger prawns, it doesn't come cheap.
I had this at a food court in Whampoa yesterday and it's been a while I never had the big prawn noodles. I guess this is one famous stalls around as it moves from the famous 'Long House' food court.

| And, a ice-kacang to sum up a wonderful afternoon ! |
Oooh. I have been eating a lot over the weekend in SG. Gotta run more! :) Have a good week ahead!

I may have it before, can't remember. Singapore, I love their fried Hokkien noodles with prawns and squid, wrapped/served in dried opeh leaf - no leaf, fail!
ReplyDeleteSTP - I am sure you tried it before while you are in SG. yes, the hokkien mee is nice too and some also gave big prawns.
DeleteOh, Singapore one nicer due to the big prawns? I haven't eaten prawn mee for a long time. I used to eat quite often during my student days.
ReplyDeletePhong - That's my opinion la while my wife thought Malaysia's prawn noodles are nicer due to the soup. hahaha
Deletefirst of all, let's not talk about Singapore Prawn Mee or Malaysian Prawn Mee first.. what i saw on the first photo, besides the Ah Hui Big Prawn Noodles, was that huge price tag saying $1.20!!! OMG!!! that bowl of prawn noodles with so many big prawns only for S$1.20??!!! you must be kidding~~
ReplyDeleteSK - aiyo..not $1.20 la... minimum is $10! That $.1.20 is something else , maybe some kuih. I can't remember .... muahahaha
DeleteLOL. So confusing!
Deletei have not tried the soup version of Singapore Prawn Mee, but i have tried the fried version and i would say it taste good.. very different and i don't think we have something similar in Malaysia.. but me so-so prawns only lah, i actually prefer to eat prawns as a dish on its own rather than mixed into other cookings.. steamed prawns with soy sauce is my favorite.. :)
ReplyDeleteSK - Well, I do agree with you. Actually I find the prawns not much taste compared to those fresh prawns as a dish. It's the soup that matters in a prawn noodles.
Deletehehehe, never mind lah.. as long as you are happy, don't go and think about you have been eating too much.. i think with your usual gym and running routine, those little calories intake are just peanut sesame to you lah.. five minutes you can burn them all already lah.. :p
ReplyDeleteSK - hahaha... well, still gotta run as I have been eating a lot lately.
DeleteI like prawn mee, but so places, the prawn mee, so so only..
ReplyDeleteSharon - you mean this one so so only ? I know there's one in Kallang not bad, opposite Kallang MRT.
DeleteI like prawn noodle. Less spicy type because I like to taste the fresh prawn taste. Hehe. I want ice kacang too. Very warm over here.
ReplyDeleteRose - the ice kacang is a must for the hot weather.
DeleteI am opposite to you, I don't like the raw prawn flavour in the soup so I seldom eat big prawn noodles, but those smaller prawns noodles with lesser raw flavour I don't mind
ReplyDeleteLibby - Yeah, different people got different taste and preferences. For me, I don't like duck meat as well as internal organs like liver.
DeleteLove prawn mee and your ice kacang !! I'd ask for more corn and red bean, and sirap, yummzzz..
ReplyDeletePrincess - Put more gula melaka... slurp!
DeleteOohh...look at the ice kacang. I love the way they serve like old school, with lots of air sirap.ahhaha
ReplyDeleteYee Ling - Not old school enough, lack of gula melaka.
DeleteI have eaten that superb prawn noodles in Geylang with huge prawns, big like mini lobsters!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I still prefer the Penang Styled Prawn Mee which comes with delicious strong prawn taste and spicy flavour.
You just prefer non spicy food that's why you opt for Singapore's style.
Wah! Bigger prawns! I like!! I like Penang prawn mee! Never tasted Singapore ones!
ReplyDeleteNow feeling like having an ice kacang! LOL
ReplyDeleteI wonder the prawn must come with the shell ya? Why they don't what to remove it...(paiseh, lazy people lazy to eat the prawn with the shell, hahaha...that's why ask this silly question...)
ReplyDeleteI am more interested in the ice kacang lo... But now cannot eat icy stuff yet. Sob sob..
ReplyDeleteLooks very delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's something I'll definitely order when I'm in Singapore next time. SGD 10 is about RM 28, not too bad. The soup looks nice too, it's something I'll like for sure.
Oh ya, saw 小影's comment - I think they don't remove the shells for presentation and aesthetics - it just looks better like that, to me anyway.
Hi, Chris Au,
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time here ^_^
I'm actually a big sea food fan but unfortunately, prawns are not included to them and so as other sea shells (maybe i'm just too lazy to take them out from their shells LOL).. I may not be a big fan of those prawns but I would absolutely love that Ice kacang... so drooling and so perfect for hot weather condition here in Philippines ^_^
Added you to my blog roll so I can visit you here more often ^_^
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
here's my site by the way http://bluedreamer27.com
