Hawker Eats × Hae Mee 虾面 🦐

Fresh and huge prawns in a flavourful broth packed with umami goodness. The broth is rich and robust with a tinge of natural sweetness from the seafood. The dry version came with noodles doused in chilli sauce, topped with braised pig skin and shallots 》$12

This plate of prawn noodles came with a beautiful wok-hei aroma along with rich and robust prawn broth filled with umami goodness. The vermicelli has absorbed the rich flavour of stock really well along with accompanying ingredients such as pork slices, pork lard, kang kong and shallots. The price seems to be on the high side but this is worth the once-in-a-while treat for some good prawn noodles in town.

I also ordered the beancurd skin prawn roll to share. It came with a good amount of prawn paste underneath the thin and crispy skin along with mayonnaise for dipping. I like how this didn’t turn out too greasy.

Da Shi Jia Wok-Fried Big Prawn White Bee Hoon 》$22.40 (大大虾)
Beancurd Skin Prawn Roll 》$8.40

The smallest portion comes with three large sea white (ang kar) prawns, noodles cooked al-dente with beansprouts and kang kong, topped with fried shallots and crispy lard. The prawns were alive and swimming before my order was prepared which explains the freshness of it. The accompanying broth was also robust with some sweetness in there. Simply good and delicious 》$7

Flavourful bowl of pork ribs and prawn noodles except it lacks the richness in the broth. The prawns were fresh and the fall-off-the-bone pork ribs were soft and tender 》$8

The prawn broth over here is not as rich compared to the other stalls run by the Lee family. The prawns were fresh and although the broth is lighter, it was still flavourful with hints of sweetness 》$10

Other than the XL big prawn noodles, we also ordered a small bowl of pork rib prawn noodles in dry version that comes with 3pcs of pork ribs and 3 halved prawns. The chilli was fragrant, complemented well with the noodles and the pork ribs were tender. The accompanying bowl of soup is also thicker and richer than the one served in the soup version 》$5

The following items are also available for add-on - Pork ribs ($2), prawn ($2/pc), quick sand egg ($1), pig’s intestine ($2/$3), abalone ($3), pig’s skin ($1) and sliced pork ($1).

This prawn noodle stall is hidden in an industrial estate that is not very accessible but gets very crowded during peak hours. We decided to dive straight to the XL big prawn noodles since we have travelled so far for this.

The soup version of XL big prawn noodle includes 5 halves of extra big prawns served with beansprouts in a rich and robust broth, topped with fried shallots and pork lard. The prawns were fresh and succulent and while the broth was rich, I felt that it lacks the strong taste of prawns and leans more toward a pork broth 》$13.80

Chanced upon this prawn noodle stall with a long queue during my visit to Pek Kio food centre and decided to join the queue. There was already a long queue early in the morning before the sun was up.

The basic bowl of prawn noodles includes prawns, lean meat, fishcake and bean sprout with a choice of noodle which I chose to have a mix of bee hoon and yellow noodle.

The prawns were fresh and juicy which complemented the noodles with spicy and tasty chilli sauce. The dry version comes with a small bowl of broth that is slightly herbal, sweet and rich in flavour. Perhaps it’s worth another try for their soup version on another visit 》$3

The prawn and pork ribs noodle comes with 3 halve prawns and 3pcs of pork ribs in the same prawn broth. The broth is so good that I have always been ordering their prawn noodles in soup and I have never tried the dry version before》$6

Similar prawn noodles as the one at Beach Road (same family empire), they all have a similarity of selling prawn noodles with a ngoh hiang stall within the shop.

I ordered the standard prawn noodle with thick bee hoon that came with 6 halves of prawns in their robust and savoury prawn broth that was achieved from long hours of boiling. The prawns were cut in halves for easy removal but they tend to stick this time round but I do feel that the prawns were quite fresh and juicy.

Overall a comfortable and hearty meal around my hood. Somewhere I will visit when I’m craving for some prawn noodles yet lazy to spend time travelling out of my hood 》$6

Each bowl of noodles comes with peeled prawns, kang kong and bean sprouts tossed in homemade chilli sauce then topped with shallot oil and pork lard 》$4

The prawns were really fresh and I was lucky to get bits of leftover pork ribs for free when their pork ribs were sold out for the day. The pork ribs were tender and added more flavour to my bowl of prawn noodles. I noticed the soup served with their dry version was richer than the soup version. Their homemade chilli sauce was a little too spicy for me to handle. I was trying very hard to finish my bowl of noodles halfway through it 🥵

This stall has only two items on the menu - prawn noodles or pork ribs prawn noodles. The pork ribs prawn noodle soup comes with pork ribs, peeled prawns, kang kong and bean sprouts soaked in broth. Both the pork ribs and prawns did not disappoint. The prawns were very fresh, pork ribs were super tender and the broth is light with umami flavours. I visited around lunch hour and barely made it for the last bowl of pork ribs noodles for the day 》$4
