Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Noodle: Its the Chilli that makes it shiok!
With liverpool1965, tamago, iwatch_ueat and smart
This is another prawn mee frequently talked about by forummers. The first thing that really impresses you when you get there is the quality and size of the prawns. The prawns are not the common pond bred tiger prawns that you get at most stalls, they are Wild Prawns harvested from the Sea. The flesh is tender and sweet and really a treat!
We tried both the dry and the soup versions. The soup was very good, though it was a tad diluted that day because of the rain. "Huh? What does rain got to do with the soup being dilute?", I hear you say. Well, because of the heavy downpour, the number of bowls sold in the morning was down, so that means the soup did not get as many blanches with the prawns. (Which is why if you like good soup, you should go after the lunch or dinner peaks!)
The Dry Version was Super Darn Shiok! This is possibly the best Dry Prawn Noodle I have eaten! The chilli is more savoury than spicy and its just got that X factor that kept me thinking about it that night. The stallowner shared that aside from using good belachan, the other secret ingredient is their use of good quality Indian spring onions. $5 for a bowl with medium sized prawns 4.6/5 (Dry version)
Conclusion
Currently my pick for best Dry Prawn Noodle.

I like the dry version,with all the extra lard toppings!!
The soup version a bit diluted...must go try the Hong Lim Complex one again to compare....
I've tried quite a number of prawn noodles that have garnered good reviews i.e. Hong Lim's Hokkien Street, Beach Rd Prawn Noodle, Noo Cheng and Hoe Nam.
Between these, if you want soup that makes you go "shiok!", Hoe Nam is the clear cut winner.
The dry version is better because of the chilli and fresh lard. The soup version is ok,just not that solid. Both version the prawns are fresh and quite big, value for money.
Will try this!
Personally, I love the one at Hong Lim Complex, Beach Road Prawn Noodle (opposite Caltex petrol kiosk along East Coast Rd). There's also another one that may not be as popular as those mentioned, but in my opinion is equally good. Try the one at Mei Chin Road Hawker Center. The soup is tasty and "Der-Kwa" is soft and tender.
Tried Ah Hui and The Old Stall at Hong Lim Complex...I still like the dry version from Noo Cheng, but The Old Stall's soup is good! must try the rest that ieat has mentioned in his Prawn Mee thread
oops. clicked submit by mistake.
back to my review. had this a couple of times b4. i would highly recommend the dry version. the chilli's superb!!! :D
All these noodles is making me drool! Will definitely try them when I am around the area. There is a stall in a shop along Onan Road with good prawn noodles too. ot sure what's the name of the shop but it is between a few of those sundries shops. If you can't find it, let me know, I will go back there to get the exact address.
