I made yet another trip down to Pek Kio Food Centre just to try the prawn noodle from Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodle 華記大蝦麵 (managed to visit on Dec 2013!). However, stall was closed. (It seems that the owner is not feeling well and has been advised by the doctor to rest indefinitely.)
As such, I decided to try Lai Hiang Pork Rib Prawn Mee 来香肉骨虾面, the other prawn mee stall in Pek Kio Food Centre.
There was a long queue at the shop, around 8 people long. I waited slightly more than 15 minutes before I was able to order and collect my order (self-service).
Prawn Noodle (Soup) $2.50 |
I ordered a bowl of Prawn Noodle (Soup) $4.
Prawn Noodle ($2.50) |
The Prawn Noodle was quite decent. I thought that the soup was excellent. It was light brown in colour, clear, sweet and rich in flavour. The plus points was that it was not salty. The ingredients were pretty average and the prawns a tad too small. At $2.50, I can't complain too much about the ingredients, but it was really a great bowl of prawn soup if you are someone who prefers your soup to be light and easy on the throat.
Overall, the prawn noodle was not bad. However, I will not make a special trip down just for this.
ps: if you are here, do try freshly made Chee Cheong Fun. Its cheap and good!

Its certainly worth the price. The soup is the sell out factor because I can see how wonderful the color is and drenched into the bowl of noodles with pork pieces.
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to find $2.50 prawn mee these days. The ingredients are reasonably generous for that price. Feel like having some now :)
ReplyDeleteYea true nowadays can't find such food at such prices!
