Supreme Prawn Noodle (Dry) from Tian Ji Shu Shi (添记熟食) @ Chong Pang Hawker Centre in Yishun [Singapore]

Having to endure a craving can be such a frustrating chore! My simple mind was hankering for a bowl of dry prawn noodle one Thursday afternoon and when I got to my favourite stall at Chong Pang Hawker Centre; it was closed! 

My eyes scanned the surrounding and spotted Tian Ji Shu Shi (添记熟食) which had a long queue! I remember my elder sister telling me that she actually preferred the prawn noodle from the above stall. Okay; an opportunity to try! 

When I finally reached the front of the queue, the humongous plastic container in front of me caught me off-guard and I almost fumbled my order; never the main star, its inclusion often elevates the taste of the entire dish. It's the holy grail for food; crispy pork lard.

I meekly asked the auntie if I could have extra on my noodle and she gladly accommodated; and likely with a knowingly smile behind the face mask. I like her.

Our order; Alex's prawn noodles with yellow noodles and my supreme prawn noodle (essentially with just prawns and noodles) with mee pok. Compared to Tian Tian Cooked Food, the soup was less flavourful.

See my bowl of noodles! Four large prawns with a ton of crispy pork lard and not only were they fresh; their size was also one of the largest I have seen. Sinful yet so deliciously irresistible! 

Prawns had a good texture and comparatively bigger than the ones at Tian Tian Cooked Food, even though the price was the same. What really stood out were the noodles; cooked al-dente and covered in both chilli paste and ketchup, they tasted extremely palatable! To the extent, I had to relegate Tian Tian to a lower rank.  

p.s. Alex loves his prawn noodles with yellow noodles too!
