Housed in the same coffee shop as Ponggol Nasi Lemak, Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee serves a dryer than usual version of our comforting dish. Using a mix of thin beehoon and thick yellow noodles, we felt that this dish offered a nicer contrast in textures compared to hokkien Mee served with thick beehoon. The dish was well-flavored and one could taste the rich seafood umami flavors when slurping the the delightful noodles. For this $8 portion, about 4 or 5 prawns were given. There were also chewy mock abalone pieces that went surprisingly well with the noodles.
What spice lovers would really appreciate is the spice level of the chili given at the side. With “super spicy” written on the banner of this stall, one could be certain to satisfy their desire for the mouth numbing sensation that comes alongside their bright red chili sauce.
Do check it out if you’re at the coffee shop! It’s certainly an above average plate of hokkien Mee that is sure to leave your tummy (and soul) satisfied.

Alot of People say that This Hokkien Fried Prawn Chillies is Devil "超辣" 辣椒恶魔。 Alot of My Friends told me that hokkien mee without Chilli is not nice seriously I mix abit with noodle I ate a spoonful my mouth started to 麻痹麻 "numb". Good Thing is that the stall owner charge additional $0.50 for extra Chilli because if nt Customer will waste the chilli. my fren @carl_holmberg say it is good but the Chilli he say is damn spicy. Those who will love it will try the noodle with the chilli. 别说我没警告妳们 辣椒是超辣的别小看喔。

Known for their fiery, extra spicy homemade chili, this is the perfect supper for spice lovers and it's great that the stall stays open till 3am daily. A plate of Spicy Hokkien Mee ($4 for small, $6 for medium) boasts a good ratio of noodles to bee hoon, and comes well-soaked in an umami broth, packing in lots of flavour. Good thing about this coffeeshop is that it also houses the popular Punggol Nasi Lemak — perfect for a group of friends who can't decide where to head to for supper. Pro tip: Mix in a third of the chili first before deciding how much more heat you can handle!

I usually just mix in all the chilli given per serving along with the freshly squeezed calamansi juice before lapping up a plate of Hokkien mee, but the chilli here is out-of-control spicy 🔥🔥🔥, you'd end up getting a constant almost-numbing fiery sensation throughout the whole meal if you do just that (I got distracted by another stall so someone else ordered this, and I only saw the "extra spicy" sign as we were leaving 😂).
Try mixing in half first, especially if your chilli tolerance is as wimpy as mine. Also, while this may look dry, it's anything but. The squid and prawns weren't overcooked and the seafood stock used was full of umami. Wish they added some lard bits though!
A big challenge for Chilli lover ! If you love Chilli and you can take a lot of Chilli, this is probably one of the places you should go! I guess anything with Hot Chilli is always 👍 . Though this is very spicy and shiok, I still prefer the one at Amk 453. 😻

Everything I look for in a hokkien mee - wet and fried in flavourful robust broth with that right amount of wok hei and balanced bee hoon to noodles ratio!I cleared the plate in the matters of minutes! 😋👍
To be noted here is their extra spicy special homemade chili! Just a small amount got me breathing fire 🔥🔥🔥 On their signboard writes "extra spicy" so beware!
Located at the famous ponggol nasi lemak place at upper serangoon! Opens till 2am!
Nothing spectacular about the noodles. It's the volcanic Sambal belachan that sets it apart from others.😋
Fried hokkien prawn mee from jalan besar. Extremely spicy chili! Portion kinda small also, but decent.

I keep giving Yi Ji another chance and keep asking why they're a chain. Their Hokkien mee is really ordinary. Is their extremely spicy chilli their only claim to fame?
Happened to see many posts on this hokkien prawn mee, with the description that it isn't as wet as other kind (but I thought it is as just nice. It wasn't super dry. It was still slightly wet!). The queue wait was almost 20mins. But it was a v efficient way of cooking and serving (except that if they are dishing out servings, they won't take orders and you will have to stand in the queue to wait. They cook in batches too, so if your order is in the next round, you will have to wait for the cooking which was ~8mins?) Although I wasn't sure if this was the $4/6 portion (I ordered the $6 portion! But this looks abit small to me?). #burpple #burpplesg #oldairporthawkercentre #yijihokkienmee #yiji
$4 for the small plate and chilli was good but this was already more chilli. Dry style with substantial prawns squids and pork but lack of wok hei. -

located a stone's walk away from Kovan MRT, same Kopitiam with the famous long Q Punggol Nasi Lemak! Address: 965 Upper Serangoon Road S(534721). Hokkien Mee is nice, a bit wet gravy but can't be compared with my No.1 Hokkien Mee at Beach Road. U will be surprised but this small amount of Chilli is enough to burnt n numb your tongue 👅 Great for late night supper options as they are opened in the evening about 5pm till 3am! #yijihokkienmee #hokkienmee #yijifriedhokkienprawnmee #upperserangoon
