So so so good! $4 for a steaming hot bowl of rice vermicelli + generous portions of 料 - fave being a really awesome mushroom and pork ball, and springy prawn balls (that I watched the auntie skillfully mash by hand!!) Even the bittergourd (which I don't normally eat) with fish paste was delicious. Soup is really clean tasting and light. Omg mind blown officially officially a favorite.

For affordable and good white carrot cake that starts from $2.

Soft radish cake, generously studded with crunchy chyepohs, fragrant, held together with eggy goodness - this umami party would've been perfect if the top was a little more crisp but I'd definitely order this again when I'm here! Also go for the sambal chilli on the side, savoury and mild enough with a good kick.

Favorite prawn mee of @ieatkows, which makes sense since you queue so long might as well get the good stuff.

Best prawn mee I've ever had but comes with a price.

The soup is what makes it that much more special. It has all that flavour of prawn mee broth but without overusing pepper. It owes it sweetness to the use of only the freshest prawns and hae bee hiam chilli.

Prices are $3, 5, 10, 20 or anything in between depending on how big the prawns are that day. (Pictured is the $10 portion.) Be prepared to queue and wait for your noodles. Also note that the stall is closed on Mondays.

Run by young hawkerpreneur, Desmond, this stall in 628 Ang Mo Kio Market sees long, snaking queues of up to an hour on weekends. Our Burpple Tastemakers and many others in the queue find it worth the wait, thanks to its robust soup and generous portions of seafood. Various shellfish are available here, from Big Prawn Noodles ($8) to Crayfish Noodles ($13) and the crowd favourite, Lobster Noodles ($24.90). The latter comes with two halves of an Asian Lobster, or Colombian Lobster if the Asian lobster is not in season ($29.90). Tastemaker Justin Teo notes that the fresh lobster meat can be "easily removed from its shell with a light pull using chopsticks". The umami-rich soup owes its distinct taste and colour to the use of prawn shells and pork ribs, not MSG. Tastemaker Felicia Sim also loves how each bowl, regardless of size, comes loaded with clams, which really sweeten the soup. Pro tip: Noodles and ingredients run out quickly, especially on rainy days, so best to head down early to snag a bowl!

PRICE: $5

PRAWNS: 3

CLAMS: More than 10

WAITING TIME: 7mins (11+am on a Saturday)

SOUP: Generous amount of flavorful seafood broth with fried shallots and garlic bits

NOODLES: Choice of only beehoon and yellow mee

REMARKS:
- Their special chili sauce is really nice!

This eatery in Geylang ranked number five on our Hot 100 (Hawker Edition) 2016 opens till 3am daily, making it the perfect place for a late dinner with your colleagues. Its always crowded, so be prepared to wait in line. Portions are big and great for sharing, like the signature JB San Lou Bee Hoon (from $7 for small). Despite its lackluster appearance, the bee hoon is expertly fried and flattened, resulting in a 'pancake' of silky soft vermicelli with perfectly charred bits on either sides — simple but so good! They also do wicked Salted Egg Prawn Balls (from $20 for small), Fried Garlic Chilli Clams (from $16 for small) and White Pepper Crabs (market price) slicked in an unusual garlicky white pepper sauce that allows the natural sweetness of the crabs to shine through.

Directly opposite the famous Master Tang Wanton Noodles on 6th avenue lies a quiet stall called Mian Zhi Yuan that serves up OUTSTANDING prawn noodles.

Walking into the space, you can smell the distinct aroma of the stock, made with prawn heads and pork gently simmering away. I seriously almost started drooling. haha

Its definitely a good idea to get the $4.50 bowl as it comes with several fall off the bone pork ribs. The soup is intense and super flavourful. My dining companion remarked that she felt like she could finish the entire pot but I was too busy stuffing my face that i could only grunt in agreement. Managed by a group of young hawkers from Penang, they also have another outlet at Bukit Batok. #westsidebestside

This place is basically Zichar gone atas. With comfortable seating ambience and fully air conditioned. Friendly wait staff, and extremely young and attentive boss on helm, the place to be when you want something laidback with good coffee around the corner, or a plate of fresh sashimi on the right.

And of course, ingredients freshly farmed locally like this plate of lala clams, you don't have to travel far just to get some. Heavily stir fried with garlic and Chilli, this plate of extremely garlicky goodness give anyone the shivers. But this plate isn't all about the mush, they sprinkle generously with deep fried shallots to give this already tasty clams extra flavour and crunch.

They had $5 / $8 / $10 size and ordered the $8! The oysters are big and juicy, its not that oily, more eggy and crisp on the sides. I do enjoy this but i prefer it to be a bit more starchy.
