Big Prawn Noodle

i got the smallest portion ($6 w takeaway) but was STUFFED they were so generous🦐🍜 the dry noodles together with the chilli oil kind of tasted like mee goreng HAHA i still really enjoyed it even though imm not a fan of yellow noodles. soup was v concentrated and flavourful too!

Don’t eat soupy prawn mee often (I’m a bigger fan of the fried hokkien ones), but these ones are simply a must try. Rich stock and seriously large prawns that have been sliced in half for easier consumption, this bowl makes for a comforting lunch, even if it won’t fill you up entirely. You can add portions of abalone, pork skin, and pork rib if you’d like. Worth the queue, though I’d still suggest heading over around 11-ish before the crowd builds up. This soupy goodness will set you back anywhere between $4-8 depending on your order and add-ons.

The 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗥𝗶𝗯𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲 ($5.50) was very good as well. There were five pieces of pork ribs, which were sizeable and fall-off-the-bone tender. If there's one area of improvement, a greater amount of kang kong in each bowl would've been ideal.

A very good bowl of 𝘩𝘢𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘦 and I wouldn't mind returning for more.

I like simplicity in a name; you don't have to second guess what it's about. For example: The Walking Dead (a show about zombies), Godzilla vs Kong (a movie about a giant lizard fighting a giant ape) and Lost (a show about people with no GPS). So I knew what I was in for when I joined the queue at Big Prawn Noodle.

The 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲 came in three sizes: $5.50, $7.00 and $9.00. If you feel like splurging, there's also the Extra Big Prawn Noodle for $13.80 (only one size). I opted for the $7 portion of the Big Prawn Noodle.

I counted seven halves of big prawns floating in the bowl of orange-coloured soup. The soup carried a robust, crustacean flavour with an inherent sweetness. It was 𝘨𝘢𝘰 (concentrated) enough to garner our approval. The prawns were also fresh and crunchy.

A delicious bowl of prawn noodles, in light but very flavourful broth, a gem in Sengkang.

Dry Pork Ribs Prawn Noodle ($6)

Go for the Pork Ribs Prawn Noodle (Dry) if you want something spicy with an umami-overloaded bowl of soup. The noodles are well coated with (not too spicy) chilli, pork ribs are soft, tender and fall off the bone. I also like the fried shallots used here which are slightly burnt while retaining the crunch and of course not forgetting the highlight of this dish - A bowl of very “gao” (thick) soup filled with umami goodness that lingers around and left me wanting more!
