A spontaneous dinner with my parents at Old Airport Road Food Centre led to me ordering this $5 bowl of prawn and pig’s tail noodle soup from “Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle” (stall #01-98). Mostly because I had not eaten their food in a long while and couldn’t recall what their style’s like.
Turned out to be pretty satisfying with a sweet broth built on the strength of crustaceans rather than pork bones. Although the vivid orange colour of the soup looks attractive in my photo, do note it has a consistency that’s more watery than opaquely creamy (which is what you get at “Da Dong Prawn Noodles). Nonetheless, I did enjoy sipping it.
What I also found satisfying were the freshness of the prawns and the extreme tenderness of the pig’s tail (guaranteed to leave mouths with a delicious stickiness at the end of the meal).
