Prawnaholic (Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre)

@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

Shrimply delicious. 🦐 😋

The 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 ($6.50) comes with your choice of noodles (yellow, thick beehoon, kway teow or mixed), coated with a sweet and salty dark sauce, topped with two slices of torched teriyaki Kurobuta pork, two prawns, a handmade prawn ball and sprinkled with chili flakes and crispy pork lard. It‘s tasty, but the pork is a little too “chaota” (charred) for my liking, with some burnt black bits, and the prawn is small and dry (though if you do get larger king prawns if you order the $13 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀). Order the dry version—it’s their specialty—and you also get a bowl of soup. The broth is an umami bomb, absolutely packed with savoury flavour! I feel as though I can taste the hours of effort put into brewing it. 😋

Prawnaholic is a tad pricier than your usual prawn noodle, but this is no ordinary hae mee. It’s a modern unique twist on a traditional classic!
