Select Spicy Encounter with Ah Bee Fried Prawn Noodle at Fengshan Market & Food Centre

 


Embarking on a culinary journey often leads us to hidden gems that surprise and delight in equal measure. On this occasion, our taste buds ventured into the bustling Fengshan Market & Food Centre, where Ah Bee Fried Prawn Mee stands as a beacon for noodle aficionados. With its intriguing take on Fried Prawn Noodle, this modest hawker stall has sparked conversations and tantalized palates. Join us as we unravel the layers of this dish, offering both satisfaction and longing.

Choosing Your Feast: The Portion Dilemma

At Ah Bee Fried Prawn Mee, you're faced with an appetizing decision: opt for a $5 serving or upgrade to $6 for an extra heap of goodness. We went for the $5 option, pleasantly surprised by the ample portion that promised a filling experience without straining the wallet.

Delving into the Heart of the Dish: Prawns and Pork Belly

Each $5 serving greets you with two medium-sized prawns. Though not the pinnacle of freshness, these sea gems contribute a maritime essence to the meal. The accompanying slices of pork belly are the true heroes—tender, flavorful, and a testament to the stall's culinary prowess. Yet, it's in the ensemble of ingredients where the dish truly begins to sing.

Noodling Through: A Texture in Limbo

The Fried Prawn Noodle at Ah Bee treads a delicate line between dry and wet, veering towards a drier persona. This unique characteristic sets it apart, though the noodles themselves seemed to whisper rather than shout, missing the robust wok hei, egg, and garlic notes that define the greatest of its kind.

A Missed Symphony: The Broth's Lament

For a dish named after prawns, one anticipates a broth rich with their essence, guiding each bite. Unfortunately, an overpowering alkaline lye taste muddled the expected maritime symphony, leaving a yearning for the depth and sweetness that could have been.

The Surprise Elements: Chili and Squid Rings

The chili accompanying the noodles was nothing short of sensational—fiery, vibrant, and elevating the dish to new heights. It complemented the noodles exquisitely, adding a layer of excitement to each forkful. Equally impressive were the squid rings, silky and tender, a rare delight that stood in stark contrast to the oft-found rubbery counterparts.

Culinary Reflections: A Journey of Flavours

Ah Bee Fried Prawn Mee serves as a vibrant thread in the fabric of Singapore's culinary landscape, reminding us of the joy found in the simplicity and diversity of food. While the noodle dish may not have reached the zenith of culinary excellence, it brought to the table an array of textures and tastes that spoke of potential and pleasure.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

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...
