Heritage prawn noodle stall at Alexandra Village, known for its robust prawn broth and generous toppings.
The Old Stall Hokkien Street Famous Prawn Mee carries a name that tells a story of migration and tradition, having originated along Hokkien Street before finding its current home at Alexandra Village Food Centre. The stall is known for its deeply flavoured prawn broth, simmered for hours with pork bones and prawn shells to achieve a rich, slightly sweet soup that forms the backbone of every bowl. Prawn noodles here come with generous toppings of fresh prawns, pork ribs and sometimes pork tail, all resting atop a tangle of yellow noodles or bee hoon. A dollop of chilli sauce on the side adds a piquant kick that cuts through the broth's richness. It is old-school prawn mee done right, and the steady stream of regulars confirms that this heritage recipe continues to hit the mark decades on.Operating Hours
