Da Shi Jia 大食家大大大虾面

Pains me to say, but their signature dish seems to have lost its luster. The bee hoon felt a little limp, pork slices were tough and and prawns overcooked. Wok hei was still there but not as much oomph as before. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still tasty, but at its current price tag, a little hard to justify.

Fried Prawn Noodle

Return visit after a long while to @dashijiabigprawnmee . Loved this even before it went up on food king but sadly, I have to say that it has somewhat lost some of its charm. The wokhei is no longer as impressive and the prawns while huge are overcooked. Hope it was just an off day.

The basic prawn mee goes for around 6 bucks which is pretty decent for a meal in town.

The soup was very nice and balanced with enough prawny umami. The chilli when mixed into the soup adds more savory notes to the soup, and is interesting. However it could do wirh a slight bit more porky sweetness in it.

Order the 虾枣here! Truly a highlight

Pretty expensive price tag for something mediocre. Broth was a tad too salty, pork slices were too tough and chewy.

Very dope and addictive. Beancurd skin was crisp and the prawn roll filling was flavourful. Great starter before the main course

Fishcake was well fried with a nice firm texture to it.
