永珍 Yong Zhen Lor Mee & Prawn Mee

Address: Blk 6 Jalan Bukit Merah, #01-40 ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre S150006
Hours 08:00-17:30 (closed on Wednesday & Thursday)

Visited 2 May 2016.

We chanced upon this lor mee stall unexpectedly. We had came to ABC Brickworks Market, not knowing what to eat for lunch... except with me telling hb that Amelia told me there's a lot of good food here. So we just randomly tried stalls. Hb and I both love lor mee, and so we tried out this stall and fell in love with it. I think that week alone, we must have ate it thrice! It is must better then the famous Bukit Purmei lor mee... which is famous only for their crispies, their sauce lacks the punch and the flavour. Yong Zhen's lor mee sauce is just awesome... flavourful and yet not too gooey and starchy.

If you are packing this lor mee home, make sure to request for the sauce to be packed separately from the noodles. I feel that soaking the noodles in the hot sauce, overcooks the noodles and makes it too soft.

You can also request for braised eggs, additional ingredients or noodles.

Hb has tried the prawn mee on a separate occasion. It is pretty decent but not mind-blowing like the prawn mee from Zion Road... it's more like your old-school canteen-style prawn mee. Gives you a nostalgic feel like you are back in Primary School.

老档 Prawn Noodles

Address: Blk 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1,  Alexandra Village Food Centre
Hours: 09:00 - 19:30 while stock last (closed on Thursday)

Visited on 2 Apr 2016.

Hubby and I went to Alexandra to check out the refrigerators and decided to come here for brunch. We walked around the food centre and surprisingly a few stalls caught our eye, especially this prawn noodle stall. We saw someone else ordering and the color of the soup, milky white with a tinge of orange/yellow, reminded us of the prawn noodles at Zion Road.

The prawn noodles was quite good, but definitely doesn't win the Zion Road one. The flavor wasn't as intense because the Zion Road one is more 重口味, but overall still not bad.
