Deep Flavours of Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee’s Fried Prawn Hokkien Mee

 


If you're in the quest for some truly traditional and soul-satisfying Singaporean hawker fare, the "Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee" at Telok Blangah Crescent Market & Food Centre is a must-visit. Here's a fun, flavour-packed review of their famed Fried Prawn Hokkien Mee that promises to tempt your tastebuds.

Casual Encounter, Culinary Delight

On a whim, we decided to explore the delights of the Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee, and oh, what a discovery it was! This stall isn’t just a place; it's a dive into the heritage of Singaporean cuisine.

Portion Size and Pricing - Generosity on a Plate

With three size options - $5, $8, and $10 - there’s a plate for every appetite. We opted for the medium $8 serving, and were not disappointed with the quantity. The portion was generous, enough to satisfy the hungriest of souls without compromising on quality.

Seafood Symphony and a Dash of Crunch

Let's talk about the contents. The dish featured four small but mighty prawns. Although a tad overcooked, their flavour still shone through. Scattered strips of squid added a chewy texture, albeit slightly tough, they were an enjoyable chew. The pièce de résistance, however, were the crunchy bits of fried pork lard scattered throughout the dish, adding a delightful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the soft noodles.

Noodles - A Rich Tapestry of Flavours

The fried noodles themselves were a revelation. Each strand of yellow noodle and beehoon was infused with a gorgeous prawn broth flavour, embodying the rich, deep essence of a perfectly seasoned stock. This is the dry type of Hokkien mee, which allows for a more intense taste as the flavours are not diluted by excess moisture.

Chili Choices - Spice Up Your Life

Accompanying the noodles were two types of chili - a zesty, spicy type that awakened the palate, and a sambal balacan, rich and deep, marrying perfectly with the meal. These condiments are not just sides; they are integral to the experience, each adding a layer of complexity to the dish.

The Verdict - A Must-Try Delight

In conclusion, the Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee delivers a dish that is not only filling but also richly satisfying. The combination of textures and robust flavours makes this a standout dish that’s worth every bite. Despite some minor setbacks with the seafood, the overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. This dish is a celebration of what traditional Singaporean hawker food can be – utterly delicious and profoundly comforting.

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...

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics. On the side, we had their deep fried pork cutlet, chopped into bite-sized chunks. They were fabulously deep in distinct flavour, crunchy and varying and superior in taste and texture. Although greasy, it was a marvelous pairi...

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...
