[Singmalay Part 6] Prawn Noodle Shop 蝦麵店

[Singmalay Part 6]

After the disaster I had at Pho26 which Openrice rejected my review, I decided to try the Prawn noodle restaurant next door.

Before I tried this, I compared their menu against Katong, prices here a cheaper.
However they are relatively cheaper because of their ingredients, ie seafood because Prawn noodle shop offers mussels, crabsticks, fish balls which are frozen goods and readily available.
Katong is more expensive as it contains big prawns, and cockles, where they need to be sourced.

The most expensive prawn mee offered by Katong is 70 dollars while Prawn noodle shop costs 43 dollars.

Anyway, walking in the shop, there is a strong prawn smell, which is reassuring, as they specialize in Prawn noodles.

I ordered the Prawn noodles, which I was told was spicy by the staff.
However it was not that spicy, just like the other reviewers said, so I would recommend this place for people who can't have it that spicy.
The soup base is strong in prawn, and not so sweet as the other places, and it doesn't have black pepper taste either.

Noodle wise, they have the basics, Cambodian noodles, vermicelli, and oil noodles. But I don't like the vermicelli here, as it is thicker than the ones in Katong, and sweeter.

For the main ingredients, the pork was good, not too dry and had flavour to it, prawn wise, a little less in quantity than Katong, in Katong, one prawn is sliced into two pieces, however here, the prawn is sliced into four pieces.

[Singmalay Part 5] Pasar Singaporean Flavour 巴沙新加坡小品

[Singmalay Part 5]
I think this is my third time eating in a Singaporean restaurant.

Ordered fried quay teo, Prawn noodles (vermicelli) and pandan cake, barley water and salted lemon drink.
In my opinion I think the food here is a little over priced in comparison with the other two I've tried.

Fried quay teo: tasted ok , reasonable portion size.
Prawn noodles: the soup base didn't have much prawn taste, just peppery.
Also it didn't have a big prawn like Katong, considering it was priced more than Katong.

The drinks were ok, the barley water tastes better than kxtong, not so strong.

Although the Pandan cake didn't taste that good, it was the best, quite a big portion for $28 dollars. There was a good Pandan taste but I thought there was too much eggy taste in it.

[Singmalay Part 4] [Katong Laksa Prawn Mee 加東叻沙蝦麵]

[Singmalay Part 4]
I still havent tried all the Singmalay food here, but according to reviewers for Katong, the Laksa is not that spicy, so I ordered the Laksa.

It tasted much better than the one in Jordan.

Firstly the broth had a very fragrant coconut aroma.
It had a really creamy coconut taste and wasn't just a sweet taste with strong prawn broth in it too.
Secondly they used "mung noodle" which went well with the broth.

The other things such as tofu puffs tasted really good as it soaked up the broth.

Will come back to try the Prawn Mee and the Spare rib tea.
