Being a fan of the more moist and succulent variation of this beloved local #hawkerfare, this particular plate of Hokkien mee suited my taste preferences perfectly.
Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee at Whampoa Market always has long queues.
The Hokkien mee was watery, and had a chao ta and alkaline taste, with a bit of seafood flavour. I thought this was quite average, and had little of the prawn flavour and wok hei. The lady standing on the ladder stairs by the side taking orders was quite a sight though, and there was already a queue at opening.
The prawn noodles soup had a 清甜古早味, with mainly sweetness from the pork, and some brininess from the prawn. Comforting old school bowl. Perennial favourite, with a 20 minute queue in the morning.
I'm not sure if there is a corresponding stall at Whampoa Food Centre that does it the same way, but this one here at Tekka Centre is worth coming back for (665 Buffalo Road #01-326).
It is a good stall in the estate to have old school prawn noodle flavours here at 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodle.
Indeed, I slurped this small bowl down to the last drop and even got more otah afterwards. I should eat here more often.
At NiuNiu Tea & DuDu Rice, you get an extensive menu of Korean-Taiwanese street food in a small hawker stall.
Very nice.
I'm not sure if these guys at Whampoa Makan Place are really that famous, or if it's just self-proclaimed (90 Whampoa Drive #01-24).
As with all of Teck Kee’s desserts, its appeal lies not in anything superlative, but in simplicity and consistency.

The stock was light, sweet and serviceable, a Singaporean-style pork-bone sweetened soup, slightly above average. The prawns were fresh and flavourful. Not bad, but not something I would specially go back for.
