Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee

After trying food from other stalls in Tiong Bahru market, I went back to my favourite stall, which is this stall. I simply love their hokkien mee. The hokkien mee has just the right amount of moisture in them and the broth used is very good because it shows in the flavour of the noodles. The noodles is really flavourful with a good mixture of yellow noodles and beehoon. The ingredients are also very fresh, I like the sotong a lot. The only thing is the portion, I felt that it seemed to have shrunk a little since my last visit.

I'm a fan of hokkien mee, so once I saw this stall at Tiong Bahrun market, I couldn't resist ordering it For a $3 plate, the serving given was quite generous - plenty of noodles with prawns and sotong. The hokkien mee offered here is the "wetter" version. The broth used to simmer the noodles is quite flavorful. Definitely an above-average plate of hokkien mee. Personally, I will prefer if they used less of the yellow noodles. But still, considering that it's hard to find a really good plate of hokkien mee nowadays, I will still patronize this stall whenever I have my cravings.

It has been almost 4 months since i last eaten my favourite hokkien prawn mee at this stall thus i am back once again for it. Although it is very oily so i try not to have it too often but sometimes i still crave for it a lot. The owner is very generous with the portion and with $3, you are able to fill your tummy with one packet of this. I always request not to include sotong in mine as i do not like to eat sotong. Best is to mix the chili and the noodles together to eat it and it will be perfect! Come early to get it too as by 6.30pm on weekends, there will usually be a queue formed already.

This stall sells really delicious fried hokkien mee and it is one of my favourite place to go to for fried hokkien mee. It is really fragrant and the gravy complements the noodles very well.The chili also adds in the punch together with the noodles. They are priced in $3, $4, $5. I usually order the $3 portion as i feel that it is already rather full for me. During lunch and dinner time, there is usually a short queue.

I think I have found my favourite hokkien mee. It has been some time since I ate such a good plate of hokkien mee. The ingredients are all very fresh and tasty. The noodles are cooked with the right amount of seasoning and the noodles are slightly wet which makes it good for slurping it down your throat. This is the $3 portion that I ordered and I finished every bit of it.

This hokkien mee is one of the more popular stalls when I visited last saturday. Its portions are priced at $3/$4/$5. As I had ordered other dishes, I decided to go for the smallest portion which is the $3 portion.

The hokkien mee is very fragrant indeed. Although not very visually enticing (as all prawns and sotongs are hidden from view), but it scores very well for its fragrance. And as for the taste, it is certainly as good as what its fragrance suggests. The yellow noodles and white beehoon has soaked up and absorbed all the gravy, making it very flavourful on its own. The chili is very nicely done - spicy enough and it adds a kick to the hokkien mee.

Lastly, its sotong is fabulous. One of the best sotongs I have eaten from a plate of hokkien mee, and not surprising, given that its name is fried sotong prawn mee. Its sotong is chewy and very fresh. Highly recommended!

I have to say, this is the best eating experience.

The noodle, which you can choose its portion size of $3/4/5, (mine was $3), has sotong, prawn, and bits of pork and fish in the mix. The cook was helped by most likely his mom to peel off the seafood and vegetables personally, so with their GRADE A in hygiene, shouldn't be too worried.

The food is mixed with both noodles and beehoon. MUST ADD CHILLI NO MATTER WHAT, that makes the taste oh so perfect.

At first, when i started eating it, it tasted just like any other normal fried noodles. But the more you eat and chew, the taste just starts to get you and it's quite unexplainable, it's so flavorful but not as thick as curry, if you get what I mean. The process of where the flavor sticks to your tongue and builds from there on is an experience one must try it yourself. Let me know if the crescendo-ing taste doesn't work for ya.

SUPER RECOMMENDED. Couldve eaten more though, $5 for a ultra filling portion!
