River South (Hoe Nam) Prawn Noodles

With the cheapest bowl of noodles being $6 we opted to share a Medium sized bowl. The medium size came with 3 prawns and 3 ribs. The soup was thin but rich and flavourful. We enjoyed the meal but aren’t sure if it’s worth the travel and the price.

Prawn cracker, youtiao, yam roll. Excellent execution. Auntie, can give more sauce or not?

The noodles and the soup were good. The three "mains" were kinda average.

The broth sweet and flavourful , the Prawn de shell, fresh and quite big.
This time I choose thick bee Hoon, toasted in their homemade chilli sauce.
💰$8.5 for each prawn noodle.
Customer can top up soup by pay $1, and don’t forget to order the ngoh hiang for next coffeeshop

Heard of this place and decided to give it a shot. Ordered pork ribs big prawns noodle at $7. There wasn’t much people around (unlike the place opposite) so food queue was fast.
2 ribs and 2 prawns. The ribs were hard and chewy, I think the ntuc frozen ones are better really. Soup is very normal, nothing special and overrated. Can try if you’re around the area but don’t need to purposely come down. PS: If you driving can park along the perimeter of the area else can park at The Venue.

Pork ribs was pretty good, q unique, meaty, and tender

Pigtail was delicious as well, it's got the texture of pork ribs(meaty as well) surprisingly, with a tad more gelatin. One of the most unique pigtail I've had in terms of texture, honestly if you close your eyes you won't be able to tell that it isn't pork ribs or sth

Prawns were not v impressive, esp since they were small prawns despite this bowl costing so much instead of the large prawns

Pig small intestines were not v impressive either. There's some stench

Lastly, the worst were the pork slices(switched for baby abalone, definitely stick w that). It's tough like cardboard, and tasteless too. One of the worst decisions I've made wrt food. Can't emphasise this enough, don't get the pork slices here

Soup was good, gotta give credit where credit is due. But only good, not great, not even significantly better than most

Noodles were disappointing too, it's a wet and sad sauce, no umami and yet contains heat. Sigh.

If you get the pork ribs, pigtail in soup, that's probably a good meal. But this was just sad otherwise, no idea why they command a queue. Apart from those items I probably won't even come if I'm staying in the area, much less travel an hour for this bowl
