Just beside VeganBurg, we had the wonderful opportunity to try out the legendary Kim’s Famous Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee. Just like other online reviews, he is known for serving up $15 Claypot Hokkien Mee to willing customers in the 1980s which would be ~$26 today. Even without the inflation, the more prudent or perhaps even ignorant amongst us, would still likened $15 for a plate of Hokkien Mee to daylight robbery. Apart from the Hokkien Mee, Mr. Tan Kue Kim himself is just as well-known and is recognised by his long-sleeve shirt and gold rolex which he wears even while frying the dish.

Picking up $20 worth of his fried edible gold, the noodles came wrapped up in 1 large banana leaf.

A wet Hokkien Mee, it reminded me of Yong Heng Fried Baby Squid Prawn Mee @ Bukit Batok Street 11, my benchmark for a good wet Hokkien Mee. While Kim’s failed to deliver as much ‘wok hei’ as the latter, one of my dining companions did remark that it was rare to find such a huge uncut portion of squid hiding within the noodles. And though I was unable to obtain a picture of it while it still looked appetising, I’m just contented to have tried yet another well established hawker stall which seemed to have maintained a consistent quality through the years. One of the better wet Hokkien Mee, I do hope their business is not significantly affected by the current pandemic.
Taste: 8.5/10 (Worth a try if in the area)
