Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee

Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee is another popular hokkien cuisine that could be easily found in hawker centre and food court. The ingredients for the fried hokkien mee are simple, cooked prawn, squid, pork belly, bean sprouts, thick bee hoon and yellow mee. But there are 3 important things to make the fried mee tasty, fried pork lard, broth use to simmer the mee and the skill of the hawker. The broth is normally made from blanching the squid and pork belly and added with the prawn shell to boil with the hawker secret ingredient. To further enhance the taste of the mee, you can add in the lime and sambal chill to mix with the mee before eating.

I know that there are 3 types of fried hokkien prawn mee you can find in Singapore. Dry(no gravy at all), wet(with watery gravy) and semi-wet (with thick stickness gravy). Most of the stalls here serve the wet type.

I personally like the semi-wet type. There is this stall Come Daily (天天来), at Toa Payoh Lor 1 Market & Food Centre Level 2, happen to be the semi-wet type and always been my no. 1 choice. I have patron this stall for more than 15 years. Last time, the stall only operate during dinner time, but after the upgrading of the food centre, the stall operate from breakfast time to dinner time. But please note that they are closed on Monday.
