Beach Road Prawn Noodle House @ East Coast Road - Tasty Broth Packed with Flavours

"Beach Road Prawn Noodle House" boasts a renowned reputation in Singapore, particularly for its delectable prawn broth.

Parking proves to be a challenge, given the limited space available. Arriving on a bustling Saturday afternoon around 11:45 a.m., I was greeted by a daunting queue snaking outside the shophouse. With no alternative but to wait, I was fortunate to secure a table for two within a mere 20 minutes, thanks to the efficient ushering by the staff. However, the journey didn't end there, after settling in, another queue awaited at the cashier's counter for placing orders.

After a brief wait, our orders arrived.

Now, onto the review:

Soup Version: The broth exuded a rich, seafood-infused flavor with a delightful peppery and savory essence. The addition of pork lard and shallot/garlic oil elevated the taste profile to extraordinary heights. The noodles were expertly cooked, complementing the flavors perfectly. While the prawns in the $6.50 soup version were reasonably sized, a minor gripe emerged as a few shells clung to the meat, an issue likely attributed to overcooking rather than freshness.

Dried Version: Accompanied by a small bowl of flavorful soup, the dried version impressed with its briny chili and ample portions of lard and shallot/garlic oil. The noodles maintained their ideal texture. Opting for the $9.50 version treated us to generous servings of large halved prawns, two more pieces compared to the $6.50 variant.

However, similar to the soup version, encountering difficulty in deshelling the prawns proved to be a drawback.

Overall: The star of the show undoubtedly lies in the broth, making the soup version a personal favorite for future visits. A noteworthy tip, I later discovered that soup refills are available, a detail I'll certainly take advantage of in subsequent visits.

And let's not forget the additional perk of having another famous Wu Xiang Stall nearby, a tempting prospect for future culinary adventures! Beach Road Prawn Noodle House

Shi Nian Pig Trotter Rice @ Chai Chee - Meat That's Tender and Fats Melt in Mouth!

Formerly known as Ling Ji and now rebranded as Shi Nian, this stall is a go-to spot for delicious pig trotter rice. Located in a food court presumably owned by the "Bai Nian" brand, I always find myself torn between two favorite dishes here, Bai Nian Yong Tau Foo and Shi Niang Pig Trotter Rice. Arriving around 7:40 PM, I was pleased to find no queue and promptly ordered two bowls, one with more fatty meat for my girlfriend's preference and one with lean meat for myself. **Fatty Meat Bowl** The lady serving us was friendly and generously accommodated our request for extra chili. Our order arrived in less than 2 minutes, allowing us to dig in swiftly after snapping a quick photo. **Lean Meat Bowl** Now, onto the review: Pork Trotter: Cooked to perfection, the meat was tender, and the fats melted in the mouth. The dish strikes a balance, avoiding an overly salty taste. It's truly some of the best-braised pork available at such an affordable price in a hawker setting. P...

Dian Xiao Er @ Downtown East - Herbalicious Roasted Duck

Encountered some chefs from Dian Xiao Er at a pub who passionately recommended their dishes, prompting a visit to their Whitesand outlet. Full transparency: I paid for the meal, and here's an honest review. Arriving on a Thursday evening, we were promptly seated with no queue. The waiter directed us to order by ticking the set menu manually or opting for ala carte through a QR scan. Caught off guard by the lack of a set price indication, both my girlfriend and I resorted to googling their website for details. Images download from Dian Xiao Er Website. We settled on the "Healthier Set," and the dishes arrived swiftly, served with a smile. Now, onto the review: Angelica Herb Roasted Duck: A highlight among all the dishes. Tender meat (Drum & Thigh area) with a mild herbal aroma. The sauce, when drizzled over the rice, is heavenly. Personally felt the skin lacked crispiness but the herbal and tender meat make up for it. Soup of the Day: Fish maw soup that stood out for...

L32 Handmade Noodles @ Tampines 1 - QQ Noodles with Super Spicy Chilli Ban Mian

In the midst of a rainy January day in Singapore, my girlfriend and I found ourselves yearning for a warm, comforting meal. Since we were in Tampines Central, she suggested the renowned Ban Mian at Tampines 1, a subsidiary of the legendary L32 Ban Mian in Geylang. Upon arrival, we were met with the familiar sight of a lengthy queue. Patiently, we waited for about 20 minutes before finally collecting our dishes. We ordered the pork balls noodles and Ban Mian dried version with an added chicken cutlet. For the soup version, we were treated to a delectably savory and slightly sweet broth, complemented by a touch of raw fresh egg. In the dried version, my girlfriend noted that the sauce leaned towards the sweet side for her taste. The Ban Mian noodles, thicker than those at regular stalls, maintained a satisfying texture. The unique feature of almost raw egg drew mixed opinions, as I found it acceptable with its 20% cooked consistency, while my girlfriend wasn't a fan. The chicken cu...
