545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles at Tekka Market & Food Centre needs no further introduction.
I will spare you the story of how this third gen University Finance graduate, Li Ruifang gave up her cushy corporate job to don the apron or how her grandfather began peddling his prawn noodle in the streets during the 1950s. These information can easily be obtained from the numerous blogs sharing them.
A perpetual queue can always be seen as it is one of the more popular stalls here. Fortunately for me, there were no more than five people when I arrived at about ten in the morning. When it was almost my turn, the stall helper came down the line to ask for my order.
I have bookmarked this stall on my to-eat list for the longest time and I am glad I am finally able to do a food trail in this food centre at Little India.
When it comes to prawn noodle, I am always in a dilemma because it is tough choosing between having it dry or in soup.
However, I wanted to have it dry this time, opting for a mix of bee hoon and mee (yellow noodle).
