Fried Prawn Noodles @ Xiao Di Fried Prawn Noodle 小弟炒虾面

 


Where to find good hokkien mee? Or what to eat in Serangoon? We headed out to Xiao Di Fried Prawn Noodle and find out how does their fried hokkien noodles tasted.

A really wet version of hokkien mee, Xiao Di's fried prawn noodles has a sweet based prawn broth which tasted slightly artificially sweetened. Noodles were soggy and totally infused with the broth, but somewhat lacking in the wok hei department.

Slices of roasted pork (probably 4 to 5 pieces) and squids scattered on top, provided a variety of texture and flavour on top of their rich and potent soupy noodles. And of course the crunchy and fresh prawns (3 prawns).

Fried garlic, fried eggs and pork lard further amplify the hedonistic power of the whole dish.

Worth noting was the deep fried pork lards were flat but carries a strong perfumed fragrance.

Finally, their specially made sambal belachan on the side was given generously, and mixed with some lime juice elevated the whole dish to another level of elegance.

We got both their $4 and $5 sizes, and frankly both sizes are just 1 prawn and probably 2 spoonful difference. Was the quantity justifiable to their price? Extremely underwhelming and disappointed, way too little for a normal portion, even for their large size.

Not the best fried prawn noodles or hokkien mee we had, but Xiao Di Fried Prawn Noodle does have their unique taste and style.

Be prepared to wait as they have a strong patron following. We had to wait for 30minutes during a weekday lunch time, before our buzzer went off.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...

Two combo sets—Combo A and Combo B—meant we could try six different dishes, including their famous bibim noodles , which definitely deserved the spotlight.
