YouFu Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle (Golden Mile Food Centre)

The thin beehoon cooked Al dente style,flavourful but I found it lack of wok hei (youfu fans don't angry to me ok 😅).
💰$6 for medium.

Golden Mile Food Centre.

Mention Hokkien mee and army market, and most people will think of Hainan Hokkien Mee which is located on the 1st floor.

A young hawker-preneur has opened a Hokkien mee stall on the 2nd floor which has drawn much praise from foodies. I can taste the intense rich flavour of the prawn broth and the smokey wokhei notes in the noodles.

This is a good plate of hokkien mee though I think it will taste better eaten on the spot. Looking forward to the market reopening soon!

You’ve probably read about this relatively fried hokkien prawn noodle stall at Golden Mile Food Centre and the man behind the wok, a 21-year old chap. I, too, was curious about how it tasted and decided to join the snaking queue.

The fact that the noodles and beehoon were thoroughly soaked up with the broth that was packed with umami, proved its deliciousness. You get a choice of thick or thin beehoon. The portion was probably just enough for one person, though not completely satisfied. Ingredients too, were slightly lacking. Nothing to hype about the sambal belacan, but you will be rewarded with strong wok hei in the noodles. Way to go!

In the recent months, there’s a newly opened fried Hokkien Mee stall in Golden Mile Food Centre. Highly recommended by a lot of food bloggers, we decided to drop by to try too! Located at level 1, 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐅𝐔 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐊𝐊𝐈𝐄𝐍 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐖𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐒 is cooked by a very young guy, Andre, 21 years old. Despite his young age, he has been helping out at his father stall in Toa Payoh when he was in sec sch days, so he’s very skilful! ⠀

You won’t miss the stall as there’s a long snaking q right in front of it. His Hokkien mee style is the dry kind with different pricing to choose from, $4, $5, $6 or $8 and you can even choose if you want thick or thin vermicelli! We ordered the thin vermicelli and $6 portion for takeaway. I must say, we are truly amazed at its fragrant aroma once we open the packet. Thin vermicelli and yellow noodles had fully soaked up the savoury prawn broth, and it fried with a good wok-hei taste to it! Each plate also comes with generous servings of fresh prawns, squid and pork belly and their sambal chilli goes so well with it too! We were super impressed by his delicious and mouth-watering plate of fried Hokkien mee! Do drop by these few days before they are closed for 3 months renovation starting next Tue, 1 Dec, you would love it! ⠀

This is an impressive plate of fried Hokkien prawn mee by a 21yo young hawker who joined the trade only in March this year.

The noodle looked uninterestingly dry by the time we were ready to give it some attention (we were busy with lots of other more good-looking dishes today! 😅). But gosh it was packed with such crustacean punch and 'wok hei' flavour.
