Must-Try Dishes

• Prawn Mee Dry (S$2.50-S$5): Tossed noodles coated in chili oil, garlic, and fried shallots, served with a separate bowl of prawn broth. The dry version lets the spicy chili shine—each strand absorbs the sauce, creating an intensely flavorful bite. Pro tip: Pour spoonfuls of the broth over the noodles to add umami depth.
• Prawn Mee Soup (S$2.50-S$5): The same quality ingredients swimming in a light, clean prawn broth. Less salty than the dry version’s accompanying soup, but still maintains that signature briny sweetness. The S$5 version includes four whole prawns—exceptional value.
• Noodle Choices: Mix and match yellow noodles, bee hoon, mee pok, or kway teow. Most locals go for yellow noodles with bee hoon for textural variety.
• Add-Ons: Lean pork slices are tender and generous. Fishcake is soft and freshly sliced. For S$2.50, the portions are astonishingly good—you’re getting quality that should cost double.
