Xiang Xiang Fishball Noodle香香 (Chong Pang Food Centre)

Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3
Xiang Xiang Fishball Noodle香香 is a fishball noodles stall located in Chong Pang Food Centre in Yishun. 
Xiang Xiang Fishball Noodle香香 is one of the more popular stall in this food centre. This stall has been around for a long time (more than 25 years ago) and has a loyal customer base. It is very popular and you can expect to wait 30 minutes for your food to be served during peak hours. This stall is one of the few which is not self-service. So you can wait for your food to be delivered to your table after ordering. Look at the number of awards displayed at the facade of the stall. They are popular for their fishballs and also old school style fishball noodles. Today, they have started selling their fshball at the price of $2 for 9 pieces of fishballs.
Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3
I visited at 3pm for tea break as I know better than to order during peak hours. I ordered the dry version of the Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3 with chilli. For $3, this was extremely value for money considering how generous they are with the ingredients. 
Fishball Noodle (Mee Pok) $3
The mee pok was topped with generous amount of bean sprouts, spring onions and pork lard. The chilli sauce at the bottom when mixed with the noodles was a perfect match and had me wanting for more. The noodles were well cooked; soft and springy (QQ). Coupled with the bean sprouts, it provided crunchiness to this bowl of noodles. 
Fishballs
5 pieces of fishballs were provided. And it is not any normal pathetic small-sized fish balls. The fish balls here were slightly bigger than normal (elsewhere). How good is the fish ball? Well, taste is subjective. So why not let me just say this and you decide for yourself. During (every) Eve of Chinese New Year, they sell lots and lots of the fish balls (if I am right, the number of fish balls they sell is close to a couple of thousands during this period). Many customers purchase the uncooked fish balls from them and use them for their reunion steam boat and other dishes over the festive period.

To conclude, this was Cheap & Good. Have you tried this?

Hock Prawn Mee 福鰕面 (Jalan Besar)

Pork Rib Prawn Noodle $5
Hock Prawn Mee 福鰕面 is a prawn noodle stall located at a quiet coffeeshop in Jalan Besar area, oppsite Sim Lim Tower, near Sim Lim Square. It is located just opposite Wanderlust Hotel.

This prawn mee is located in the same coffeeshop as the Hainan Chicken Rice Ball.
I was surprised that Hock Prawn Mee is open 24 hours.
It was manned by an elderly lady and a gentleman in his 40s-50s during the day time when I went on several occasions. The elderly lady was in charge of cooking the food (including the soup stock) while the gentleman was in charge of taking down orders, serving and collection of payment.
Intestine Prawn Noodle $5
Seeing that they offer pig small intestines, I ordered the Intestine Prawn Noodle which cost $5. I was surprised that the price of the prawn noodles at this coffeeshop start from $4 onwards. Was expecting more of $3 or $3.50.
Intestine Prawn Noodle $5
The small intestine was delicious. It was very well cleaned with its innards still intact inside. regretted ordering the dry version as the chilli sauce was disappointing. It lacked fragrance and was not spicy. The soup provided was yummy though! It was very tasty.
Pork Rib Prawn Noodle $5
On the subsequent visit, I ordered the soup version of the Pork Rib Prawn Noodle $5. This was delicious as the soup base was very well done and full of umami flavour. In addition, the pork rib was tender. 

Personally, I prefer their soup version. Their dry version was disappointing due to the chilli. Pricewise, it is on the higher end compared to its peers in coffeeshops and hawker centres.
