@prawnaholic flirts with the norms, and they pull off their modern take on prawn noodles exceedingly well. You can smell the smoky goodness wafting from as far as 2 stalls down because every order of noodles has pork belly slices freshly aburi-ed a la minute. These fatty, melt-in-your-mouth hunks of heaven top al-dente noodles that are married with an exquisitely addictive and unctuous spicy sauce made from dried shrimp and other aromatics. Each element is in perfect sync, from the crunchy, freshly fried lardons and crisp shallots, to the homemade prawn balls and the fresh and sweet whole prawns. Adding on an onsen egg($1) to break and mix into the saucy noodles enhances the enjoyment even further.

Last but not least, their prawn soup is one of the best I've tried, infused with a potent crustacean-y flavour that's richly flavourful and completely MSG-free. This is right up there with Da Dong.

Taste: 3.5/5
