Kallang Cantonese Live Prawn Noodle

Pretty good prawn noodles with generous toppings. 4 peeled prawns and they are quite succulent! Sad that there was only 1 pork rib tho, but it’s quite big. Soup is nice and comforting. But the electric fans in the market are blowing way too strongly to allow you to enjoy your meal properly Tried the live prawn version and it’s really good. The soup actually gets tastier as you drink it, but I still prefer the dry version — that way I get to enjoy the prawn sweetness from the soup without the alkaline mee taste.

Live prawns are scooped straight from the tank and cooked on the spot, guaranteeing absolute freshness. The prawns are firm, bouncy, and succulent, with a natural sweetness that comes through in every bite. Their juicy meat contrasts beautifully with the springy noodles, which are coated in a rich, well-concocted sauce lifted by chilli, shallots, and crispy pork lard. A hearty and satisfying plate, though the seasoning leans a little too salty and slightly overshadows the delicate sweetness of the fresh prawns. Great meal !

Unassuming and underrated prawn noodle soup. Broth may seem very clear but it’s quite flavourful. The 7 dollars live prawn noodles came with two rather large prawns taken from the tank. Prawns are firm and with a great natural crustacean sweetness. Noodles didn’t have the alkaline taste unlike those at Whitley Road Big Prawn noodles.

From the tank to the table. This hawker stalls sells live prawns noodles from $7 onwards. I ordered the $9 one for three good sized prawns and added $2 for the pig tail. Worth every cent. The prawns are obviously fresh and firm to bite. Pig tail is well cooked till soft. Meat falls off easily. Pig skins were added joy to me. Soup is definitely full of prawn goodness and taste. Overall it’s a great worthwhile meal.
