River South (Hoe Nam) Prawn Noodles

We chanced upon this stall looking for breakfast in the area, and seeing that it was packed, decided to join in the fun - after all, Singaporeans vote with their feet when it comes to food. This stall looked like it had been around for some time, judging from the number of media articles on display. Anticipation was running high.

We ordered what we felt was a standard serve of prawn and pork rib dry noodles - the best way to judge a stall, since you get to try both the mixing sauce for the noodles, as well as the soup.

This was a pretty damn good bowl of prawn mee - the soup was extremely sweet and tasty (although not as good as Wah Kee though), and the servings of ribs and prawns were very decent. The ribs were boiled long enough to be almost fall off the bone tender, and the prawns were fresh.

Their noodles were decent - no complaints there, and I loved the fact that there was a lot of pork lard oil. No lard, no taste.

They also have fish cake, which we tried. This was nice and bouncy, and it appeared that every other table had ordered it as well.
