Famous Hokkien prawn mee that has an average wait of 30-45 mins at peak hours. My dad usually buys back for us & it always hit the spot. Had this last week at the food centre but it was the first time that I was so disappointed. It was just ok only. Also, I don’t get why they don’t serve it with sambal. I love sambal with my noodles, don’t you? .

We finally got to try it after a half-hour order.
Verdict was an overhyped rating. They used noodles with thin beehoon which we liked; but the stock was disappointingly watery and not flavourful as we anticipated. The way they fried the eggs didn’t taste coherent overall. Guessed the chopped chilli was something unique about them; but we prefer the good old familiar sambal chilli that would still be perfect for fried Hokkien mee.
