The Old Stall Famous Hokkien Prawn Noodles 第四代福建虾面 (Alexandra Village Food Centre)

Pork Ribs Noodle with Prawns $5

You may have heard of The Old Stall Famous Hokkien Prawn Noodles 第四代福建虾面  as it has been in operation since 1943 where it was located along Hokkien Street. Today, it can be found in at least 2 hawker centres (i.e. Hong Lim Food Centre and Alexandra Village Food Centre).

As the stall name suggests, it specialises in serving prawn noodles.

Pork Ribs Noodle with Prawns $5

Pork Ribs Noodle with Prawns (dry with chilli) $5 served with kangkong, beansprouts, pork ribs, prawns and pork lard, was sprinkled with their popular chilli powder. The dish was ordinary with nothing much to shout about except for the chilli powder. The seasoning base for the noodles was disappointing. The soup which they claimed that no MSG was added was tasty and full of umami flavour.

Their chilli powder was so popular because they fried their chilli powder with dried prawns (Hae Bee) which gave it a distinctive fragrance. They retail the chilli powder in small tubs at $4.

Zhen Zhen Porridge 真真粥品 (Maxwell Food Centre)

Century Egg and Shredded Chicken Porridge with Egg 皮蛋鸡肉粥加蛋 $3.30

You may have heard of this well known porridge stall at Maxwell Food Centre (hawker centre) called Zhen Zhen Porridge 真真粥品. Although there are several stalls in the food centre selling porridge, this is the most popular stall with long queues during peak hours.

Zhen Zhen Porridge serves Cantonese style porridge where the rice grain is cooked till it is of a semi-solid consistency.

Menu

They are also famed for their fresh raw fish (Song-fish) salad. But they have temporarily stopped selling this after the National Environment Agency (NEA) asked more than 70 raw fish porridge stalls to temporarily stop selling raw fish dishes made from Song fish, also known as Asian Bighead Carp, and Toman fish, also known as Snakehead. This arose because of the link between the consumption of raw fish and Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infection.

This is the Century Egg and Shredded Chicken Porridge with Egg 皮蛋鸡肉粥加蛋 $3.30. All the rice grains were cooked till they were all dissolved. The porridge was thick and silky. The porridge was delicious and tasty. For $3.30, this is so value for money they were so generous with the ingredients.

ps: the pictures does not do the porridge any justice as it tasted way better than it looks.
