Prawn Noodles

By Ho Yoong Kwan

Savory sweet and spicy soup, when eaten with yellow noodles and bee hoon causes a burst of flavor in the mouth. Just a simple look might make someone drool over this dish. Smelling it will be even better, but tasting will be the best. The pork is soft and chewy, and since it was soaked in the sweet spicy soup, it is delicious and mouth watering. The prawns are well cooked to a nice color and very succulent. Adding the boiled egg made the experience an even more wonderful one.
There are 2 different types of prawn noodles. One is fried while the other is served in soup. I tried the one which was served with soup. The soup was made of fried prawn shells and other ingredients which really made the soup taste so fantastic. It even had a hint of chilli. Basically, this prawn noodle soup is very significant in Singapore because it was created by our ancestors when they were toiling away in the factories and had to create something out of the leftover food they had. One of the must try hawker dishes in Singapore is definitely this prawn noodle soup.
