SINGAPORE FOOD HAVEN
Here're 7 Of SG's Best Prawn Mee - Soupy, Flavourful, Fragrant

Our local prawn mee tends to be overshadowed by other popular dishes (think: chicken rice and chilli crab). Tell a frequent visitor to our country about our hae mee, they’ll tilt their head and ask, “I beg your pardon? What’s this alien language you’re talking about?”
It’s not their fault. I reckon it’s not too late to show our love for the underrated dish. Here are 7 great stalls every prawn mee connoisseur must visit!
1. Geylang Prawn Noodle

When it comes to the best prawn mee in Singapore, you won’t forget about Geylang Prawn Noodle. At around $5 – $6, you get these medium sized freshwater prawns at superb quality. The eatery even hands out paper-made bowls for prawn shells. How’s that for recycling and cleanliness?

Judging from the usual crowd, it can be a pain in the butt to have your lunch here. If this is your first visit, consider heading down early!

2. 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles

545 Whampoa has quite a history — the stall is helmed by a third generation hawker. Young and talented, it goes without saying that Ruifang, the boss, is a master chef. The pork meat and prawns are sensational, and the broth is the food for Gods.

One thing’s for sure, Ruifang has done her family proud.

3. Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee
Image credit: iiixjaslynkhorviiiv
Just the name alone gives the impression that this prawn mee is made for the king. A common dish done uncommonly well, Jalan Sultan is one of the few stalls that gives free soup re-fills. A bowl of prawn mee costs $5, while the local favourite king prawn pork rib soup can set you back around $8.

It only takes one look for your stomach to grumble for these magnificent prawns — this crunchy delicacy is begging to be eaten. Beach Road’s hae mee may be more expensive than other stalls, but judging by the crowd, it doesn’t look like anyone’s complaining.

6. Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Noodle

The big prawns are naturally tender and flavourful. And for good reason, because they’re freshly caught from the sea. The soup is appetising, to boot. A bowl of this prawn mee costs around $5-$6. Rumour has it that the dry version tastes better.

7. Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodles
Image credit: ahkwee
There are four types of prawn mee to choose from at Wah Kee and they echo the five-multiplication table: $5, $10, $15, and $20. The $10 version is arguably the best choice of the lot.
Image credit: Jeff Tan
Certainly more affordable than $15 and $20, and the portion is just right for a full meal. The garlicky soup has a tinge of spice, while the prawns are fresh and perfectly cooked. You can’t miss the prawn noodles at Wah Kee — that is, if you don’t mind queuing for at least an hour. True story.

agreed. but Penang doesn't have the dry version!

I liked Noo Cheng's dry version the best.

Why call it prawn mee if there us pork and lard inside. Its misrepresentation.

I don't like the Penang version. The broth is so spicy, it drowns out the taste of the pork bone/ prawn head combination. I rather eat it with out the chilli paste in it and dip the ingredients in the cut chill/soya sauce to get the chilli kick separately.

Because there is prawn in it, dumb ass

there are some eateries that serve their penang prawn mee with chili padi sambal sauce in the broth. those are sextremely spicy. burns my tongue. one such place is layang layang in milpitas. it’s run by a penang woman. and i keep telling her it’s too spicy. the better penang prawn mee doesn’t use chili padi in the sambal broth. it uses belachan and prawn head and shell broth with toned down chili sauce - i.e. broth is prepared by frying prawn heads and shells with belachan first then adding pork bone stock. shallots and garlic are deep fried separately and used as garnish rather than part of the broth. and sambal is served on the side. many shotcut this laborious longwinded method by “cheating” with chili padi sambal (as paste for the broth) which already contains belachan, garlic, shallots.

this is also a very impt must have ingredient to enhance the soup flavour, that fragrant oomph

My first bowl was the one at Adam Road. The daging babi is so sedap.

In fact, the pork is tastier than the prawn.

Chinese hawkers should sell pork variants of food found in halal restaurants. For example, pork murtabak and pork rendang. Let's embrace racial harmony through fusion food.

Whampoa for me. Good value.

Many years ago my favourite was at Dickson rd. 24 hrs. But since the old man up-lorry, it’s horrible.

There’s one at Jln Berseh. Not too bad. Only open for business in the evening. Cheap.

 

[kryonlight]

When all of you eat these delicious hawker foods, do you bother to check out the age of these hawkers? I doubt young sinkies would love to be hawkers.

I have tried making pork rendang at home, but its not the same. The pork meat is not as tough as the beef and it breaks up too easily and does not taste chewy. beef is definitely better then pork. maybe mutton should be ok too.

Jalan Sultan is part of the family that practically has 4-5 stalls up in the TOP ten list in Sg.
Beach Road Blanco court East Coast Ex crane road jalan kayu all belongs to same family

Those that are outside of the family worth a mention....

Whitley, Albert Street, Hoe Nam the usual suspects

Those that has ‘fame’ but lousy now.....ah hui, Thomson, Geylang (at upper Paya Lebar), 人人


But the bestest of them all is still Wah Kee
Their soup is one of a kind
