Mei Xiang Prawn Noodle Lor Mee - Checking Out the Prawn Noodle @ Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre [Singapore] #bedokinterchangehawkercentre

When was Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre rebuilt?! It's been so long since I last visited that it looked nothing like the one I remember with low ceiling, one long row of back-to-back stalls and another shorter row at the back! 

Nonetheless, it's still a search of supposedly good food and the best way is to look out for the queue! After going one round around the food centre, the winner for the longest queue was Mei Xiang Prawn Noodle Lor Mee; quite amazing to have more than 10 persons waiting in line past 9am on a normal weekday! 

This cost us 30 minutes and S$4 (with extra ingredients). Since I am not into lor mee, my sister had to make do with prawn noodles. I thought there would be mee kia or mee poh options but we could only choose from either yellow noodles or kueh teow! 

Knowing my aversion to yellow noodles, my sister had to make the quick decision to go with the lesser evil. Not a great option for dry prawn noodle though as it was bland and the only taste I recollected came from the chilli paste mixed into the kuey teow.

Eventually, it's still a better choice to just throw in the small bowl of soup accompanying our noodles; which beget the question on why we didn't ask for soup in the first place! Anyway, the taste of kuey teow was elevated significantly with the broth although this wasn't the kind of flavourful prawn stock you get from prawn noodle stalls; instead, it was infused with more pork than prawn. 

Not my kind of prawn noodles; even the ingredients like prawns and fish cakes failed to impress me. To be fair, many customers appeared to be ordering lor mee. Maybe some of you could confirm if the lor mee is indeed one of the better ones around in Singapore. 

Judging from the queue, which was even longer when we were done with our prawn noodle, I guess there must be some truth pertaining to the stall's food.
