Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee - a photo on Flickriver

The "南星" version @ Old Airport Road Hawker Centre.

I had not had this version for a long time....easily 15 years?
I tried a related version quite some time ago but it did not hit the mark: www.flickr.com/photos/xuessium/53899772195/in/photolist-j...

I have not had it easy. Twice I came and the stall was closed. Luckily, it was third time lucky.
I was warned by the stall that it would be an hour wait - not unexpected. Luckily, I received my plate after about 40-45 minutes.

And this was the traditional Hokkien Fried Prawn Mee of my memory: Slightly dried-up with both yellow noodles and thin rice vermicelli soaking up all that seafood-based stock, emitting a mild alkaline fragrance and served with only cut red chillies.

Both prawns and squid were tender and mate complimented how clean the prawns were!

Probably the last of its kind of this traditional old school version in Singapore with most other stalls forsaking and switching to the gravy-rich-served-with-sambal-chilli version that the younger generations of Singapore preferred these days.
