This prawn noodle is located at the same row, just few stalls away from Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle at the Old Airport Road Food Centre. I've actually tried this a couple of times, though I personally prefer the Whitley Road just a little more. The stall is supposedly opened since 1963, though the one cooking the prawn noodle is actually a young chap :) . So guess this is probably the 2nd or 3rd generation or the business is sold to someone maybe?
Anyway, there a choice of $5, $8 and $10 for the big prawn noodle, and I went for the $8. For $8, the prawn comes in a separate bowl, instead of together with the bee hoon or noodle (depends what you ordered). I prefer this as I find the soup is slightly better for the one with the prawn than with the noodle.
Compare to the Whitley Road one, couple of differences. Whitley Road uses the normal thin bee hoon, while this stall uses the thicker one. The soup for the Whitley Road has a stronger prawn taste, while this one have a sweet taste (not sweetness of prawn though), which I'm not sure what it is...could be garlic? Portion wise, for $8, both are pretty similar, and the size of prawns given are pretty the same too. Overall, the prawn mee here is still good, and both stalls have their own group of followers, as can see from the people eating there.
For me, both are good, though I have a slight preference for the Whitley Road. Anyway, I prefer these 2 over the crowded Beach Road Prawn Noodle at East Coast Road anytime, especially now the price there seems to have increase, and finding car park is always a problem.
So let's share which is your favourite prawn noodle :)
PS. I always end my prawn noodle with a SOP soursop or sugar cane drink :)

Came here for dinner yesterday. As my preferred Whitley Road prawn noodle was not opened, decided to eat at this stall. Realised they have introduced a clam + prawn noodle, which is something new. Decided to ordered one ($5) and try.
Basically, instead of your usual pork ribs + prawn, they just replaced the pork ribs with clams. I find the clams a bit tough or rubbery though, but nevertheless, the overall is still tasty.

Just checked out Lavender Food Square today, there's actually another outlet of this stall over there. Did not try it today as I just had it over the weekend. Will try it out again another time.

Finally pop by here again to try the pork chop. At $6, you get 2 slabs of pork chop, one rather large, the other around half the size. You also get quite generous serving of fries, beans and a bun.
Wow! The pork chop here is really nice! There's a thick layer of fat at the edge of the pork chop. The pork chop is grilled such that the fatty portion is crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. When you bite the fatty portion in your mouth, can feel all the oil squirting inside ya mouth. hahahaah.... really yummy :) The meat itself is also very tender as well.
Really good pork chop!

the rest of the dishes i believe you have tried & yes...the fruit plate @ d end of the meal is pretty standard. been going to this place on a monthly basis for the last few years.
