Da Shi Jia 大食家大大大虾面

Absolutely not worth it. Wanted to be a best-of-both-worlds fusion of prawn mee and white beehoon, but this ultimately fell flat. The broth, which is arguably the lynchpin to a good plate of white beehoon, tasted so bland with only a hint of 'prawniness'. Though there was a sizeable portion of pork ribs and 1 big prawn, there was so little beehoon that I actually had to double check that the menu indicated it was one person's portion - felt more like it was for half a person instead. Having grown up eating the original Sembawang White Beehoon, I think it's almost blasphemy for them to call this a White Beehoon. And at this price point even? Ptooi!

The regular refers to the size, but I would say that it also applied to the quality of this prawn mee. Broth was very light in flavour and not 'gao' enough. Decent amount of ingredients with fish cake, pork slices, and prawn paste ball. Just 2 small prawns though, eh. Would take Beach Road prawn mee over this, any day. But their soy sauce was really good, try it.

3.75⭐ Bought the 1 for 1 deal during Chope year end sale and only redeem it on the last day before it expires. The combo set comes with white beehoon, a drink and a side. We waited for quite long for the food as it's full house, seems like everyone is rushing to redeem the deal before it expires. Even the sides we want is also sold out. The white beehoon is mediocre as the beehoon is slightly drier and the broth didnt infused deeply into the beehoon. WB is also shocked that the prawn is not as big as he thought.

The soup was light, easy to drink (I prefer more Gao),the noodle I mixed between yellow noodle and beehoon, served with prawns, fish cake and Patty meat.
I prefer their dry version than soup.
💰$6.8.

Out of curiosity, I chose to try on the Wok-Fried Big Prawn Bee Hoon. The plate of Big Prawn White Bee Hoon was yummy. Coupled with a generous amount of pork lard which elevates the dish's fragrance together with the chopped onions and garlic.

If the dish is ordered on ala carte basis, here's the pricing, $16.90 for Big Big Prawn (大大虾) & $19.80 for Big Big Big Prawn (大大大虾). The name of the prawn mee sounds playful, isn't it?

The first mouthful was surprisingly delightful - A burst of Wok Hei Flavours in my mouth and the stock is totally awesome with umami flavours. It was thick but it does not bring out the heady prawn head taste which is what I prefer. It won't go wrong ordering this.

With 2 big prawns @ $19.80

The beehoon had a hint of wok hei.

Prawns were fresh.

The chilli dipping sauce was damn good.

Overall I really like this and the staff was friendly as well.

Not very crowded on a Friday evening, so no need worry no space to sit.
