You had me at pig’s tail. But really, this was pretty spot on. The prawns were fresh, the meat tender, and the broth was rich but not too heavy such that you could polish off the entire bowl until the last drop and not feel guilty. Or maybe it’s just me, because y’know when it comes to prawn mee - it’s all (about the) gravy, baby.
It’s hard to explain, but there is a threshold which separates a good bowl of JJM from the bad ones, and oftentimes you just know it at first sight. Unfortunately there aren’t many like that. To make it easy for y’all, this is one of the best in town. Don’t hold back, get the upsize. ;)
It's creamy and luscious with a generous serving of prawns and a decent kick of tom yum. However this can get pretty cloying real fast because of the richness of the sauce and towards the end it's just a battle against the jelat-ness. Thankfully, what's a pretty 'meh' dish is enlivened by the colours on the plate. Guess that's reason enough to give this a try.
The longest line in the hawker centre after 1pm for a stall with minimum spending of $5 - the people know what's up. For a premium hawker centre price of $24.90, you get fresh seafood - an entire lobster, two big prawns and many lala clams (they must be serving up thousands of these clams a day!). Just imagine the sweetness of the broth... it takes 45mins to get it, you pile on the cholesterol, but heck it's worth it

I get a little mad when the food is bad.
