Been wanting to try Youfu Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle @youfuhokkienmee at Golden Mile FC for the longest time, and good to know they have an outlet in Woodlands Crescent (yay Northerners)! I think it's safe to say that this is easily one of the top 3 among those we tried thus far. In fact, we ended up ordering a 2nd plate!
This plate of HKM may look a tad plain at first sight, but once you 挖呀挖呀挖, you'll find a heap of prawns, squid slices and pork underneath! The prawns were decently sized and fresh, and the sliced squid wasn't chewy. The HIGHLIGHT is their mix of yellow noodles & thin beehoon - great texture whilst absorbing the sooty wok hei notes & rich seafood flavours from the stock. The sambal hits HARD in the flavour and heat departments, so we recommend mixing it into the noodles to mellow out its spiciness! Also, remember to ask for their crispy and savoury pork lard!
However, we felt that the portion could be more generous for the price point, so if you love the 料 like us, the best way to enjoy this gloopy (but yummy) mess is to order the $5 portion and top up $2 for more ingredients. 🦐🔥
