Prawn Noodle 虾面 is a very common noodle dish loved by the locals. A stall can be found in almost every hawker centre. Some like their noodle in soup and some like it dry or dry and spicy. Some like their noodle to be mee pok, yew mee (thin egg noodle), kway teow, beehoon, thick beehoon, while some prefer the original thick yellow noodle.
The key to a mean bowl of tasty prawn noodle is the soup and the noodle sauce. A good prawn noodle soup is usually the stock of prawn heads and large pork bones. These ingredients are brewed for a long period of time to extract all the essenses to give a slightly turbid, brown tasty soup.
While visiting the RSH Sale, I visited the highly recommended 河南肉骨大虾面 Hoe Nam (River South) Prawn Noodle at Tai Thong Crescent, off Macpherson Road. When there is only one stall, a prawn noodle stall, in a coffeeshop, they must be really good to able to operate in this manner. Hoe Nam Prawn Noodle also serves beverages since they are the only operator in the coffeeshop. They have a long menu listing various types of prawn noodles ranging from S$4 to S$12. They are various mixtures of normal prawns, big prawns, pork ribs, pork intestines, pig's tail.

Big Prawns, Pork Intestines and Pork Ribs Noodle
S$7
Three huge and succulent prawns are served in the soup along with the two slabs of pork ribs and four strips of pork intestine. The pork ribs are tasty and tender but the pork intestines are a tad chewy. The soup is full-bodied and rich. The sweetness from the prawn heads and pork bone is infused into the soup. I did not get my choice of noodle. I do not really like thick yellow noodle, due to its particular taste which is exceptionally strong here. The noodles are tossed in a well-formulated sauce (mainly ketchup and chilli) and topped with some fried shallots.
Verdict
In my opinion, the Hoe Nam prawn noodles are really fantastic, it is a must try! This definitely stands out among other prawn noodle stalls.
