2. Fried Baby Squid Prawn Mee
Address: 154 Bukit Batok Street 11, Yong Xing Mian Jia Coffeeshop, Singapore 650155 Opening Hours: 9am to 9pm daily.
I decided to go with their medium portion. Similar to 777 Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee, this stall also allows you to add your own portion of fried pork lard. Likewise, there was a combination of both crispy and not-so-crispy bits which ultimately still worked at enhancing the dish’s texture and taste. Although this stall’s chilli was more mellow and sweet, with a shrimp paste flavour, their gravy-soaked noodles had a more savoury and rich taste. And of course, there’s fresh and chewy baby squids! They also use more thick bee hoon noodles than yellow noodles, which, I feel, give the dish a smoother texture.
I thoroughly enjoyed both plates of Hokkien Mee but if I were to come back to Bukit Batok again, I think I’ll be more inclined to go to Fried Baby Squid Prawn Mee because I prefer the overall flavour of their noodles and their squids. However, if you’re looking for chilli that really packs a punch, I’ll recommend 777 Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee instead!
