Albert Street Prawn Noodle (since 1963)

Posted by CyberTron on Aug 16, 2008 4:52PM
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 :)

    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.

    I've never been to Chinatown food centre or Albert Street Temporary food centre so can't compare. Yup, it's "song fish head" steam with tau see style, and I love the pork lard on it, very crispy. ^o^

    How is the fish steam head compared to the ones at Chinatown food centre or there's another stall in Albert Street Temporary food centre? The steam fish head is "song fish head" steam with tau see style?

    Overall plus the cendol. I like the sauce but the crushed peanuts spoiled it and the fried stuffs too plain.
