So the Great Prawn Mee mission continues. We found ourselves in Old Airport Road Market & Food Centre to check out two old timer prawn mee stalls – Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle and Albert Street Prawn Mee, both having been raved about by many.Not sure how many of you have had the chance to visit the once famous food centre under the Toa Payoh flyover along Whitley road in the 70s – that’s where the birthplace of Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle is.We ordered only the dry version ($5) since it came with soup as well.The soup was a vivid orangey colour, a sip of the soup revealed a strong and distinct prawn flavour that we think was too fishy. It also lacked sweetness and the much needed fragrance of a good prawn soup. Compared to many other prawn mee we have evaluated in the last few weeks, the prawn broth of Whitley Road Prawn Noodle was mediocre.It's a head-scratcher why their loyal fans keep on returning despite the myriad of issues we experienced. Though Whitley Road Prawn Noodle is purportedly one of the best prawn noodles in Singapore, we have our reservations!Please refer to www.ieatandeat.com for details review.

Prawn noodles is a very classic bowl of noodles that hardly goes wrong. Sometimes when I don't know what to order, I'll always settle for a bowl of prawn noodles. The texture of the noodles and kuay tiao is very slippery. The soup's extremely flavourful with a strong prawn taste. It's very sweet and thick too!The prawns are also quite big and juicy.I ordered the pork ribs prawn noodles and sadly, the pork ribs were a little on the hard side.There is usually a queue for this stall so be prepared to wait around 10 to 15 minutes.One bowl costs $5, decently good.http://phuachiuyen.wordpress.com/2013/11/10/whitley-rd-big-prawn-noodle-old-airport-road-hawker-centre/

Whitley Prawn Noodles is a well-known establishment and has several branches elsewhere. The Old Airport Road branch is also very popular with long queues. When it was my turn, the yellow noodles were sold out, leaving me only with the option of mixed noodles/bee hoon, which was quite good anyway. The mixture of noodles and the chilli sauce alongside the shallots was good. Very delicious. The soup was also very flavourful, tasting of prawn heads and pork ribs. For $4, it is reasonably priced.

Growing up in a cantonese household, soups are always a staple for every meal. Usually left to boil for couple of month to get all the flavor out, I'm used to drinking very flavorful soups at home so when I do go out to eat, the broth provided has to match up to these high standards! Luckily, Whitley Rd Big Prawn Noodle is one of those who have mastered the art of cooking such a tasty broth for their prawn noodles that I keep going back for more.$4 for a small bowl is usually enough to fill my belly, mainly because we tend to order other side dishes to share. The best part of this dish would have to be the broth. Boiled with prawns heads and seasoned well, it is a treat to the tastebuds as it is both salty and sweet at the same time! The noodles and accompany prawns are just fillers because for me, I could easily finish 2-3 bowls of the broth alone. I also like how the prawns are served in a manner that makes it easy to eat. Goodness knows how much I have struggled to peel whole prawns with just a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, only to have the prawn either fly off the plate or give up eventually and just use my hands. That said, the noodles and prawns are well-cooked and complement the soup nicely.If you have a bigger appetite, the noodles come in portions of 4/5/8/12 portions so you can stuff yourself silly accordingly. I would highly recommend this place to people who love prawns and more importantly, yummy soups. I'll definitely be back for more when another prawn soup craving hits!

The FoodI ordered big prawn mee dry with lots of chilli and generous portion of crispy pork lard. The big bowl of piping hot savoury and heavenly prawn soup, boiled with hundreds of prawns and pork ribs complements the delicious noodles very well! The medium half-prawns are fresh and sweet while the pork ribs are tasty and tender. The PriceReasonably priced at $5 per bowlOverallI will definitely come back again and highly recommended to try this!
