| Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3 |
Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面 is another popular stall at the hawker centre. It is located next to the famous chicken rice stall;
Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice 海南起骨鸡饭.
As its name suggest,
Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面 sells Hokkien Prawn Noodles.
The version here is different from elsewhere, it is dry
(very dry). The owner would allow the stock to simmer till it has evaporated and the flavours are adsorbed in the yellow noodles and beehoon. He would not be able to fry too many plates at any one time as he would need to keep stirring the noodles under intense heat to prevent them from being burnt and also seal the flavours and wok hei in.
During peak period, the waiting time maybe as long as half an hour as frying the Hokkien Prawn Noodles take time.

This plate of
Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3 was delicious! It well executed and fried. I have never tried such a dry verison before. It was so dry that I am sure it would have been charred if he still left them in the work. The yellow noodles and beehoon were well coated with immense flavours and smokey fragrance. It was served with slices of pork belly, squid, small prawns, sambal chilli, cut chilli and lime.
A must try!
