Hokkien Mee (SGD $5) @ Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee 鸿興炒蘇東蝦麵. Serving since the 1980s and having attained the Michelin Bib Gourmand award over the last 7 consecutive years, 3rd-generation owner Manfred Lim carries on much like before.
.
Their rendition tends towards balanced, leaning more to 'wet'. A robust prawn and pork stock infuses the large portion of noodles, gooey soft chewy (almost al-dente) with grainy savoury salty flavour, but has less wok hei / breath of the wok.
.
Garnished with soft chicken egg, crisp bean sprouts, springy squid, bouncy fish cake, and crunchy deshelled prawns, combining for a vegetal eggy sweet savoury salty flavour. Finished with lime juice for a zesty sour tangy touch.
.
Expect to queue around 20 minutes.
