Adam Road Noo Cheng Big Prawn Noodle

There’s a reason why people are willing to queue so long for the food here. They arguably have one of the best prawn noodles in Singapore; all you need to do is try one bowl to understand why. Their Big Prawn Noodle ($10/$12/$16/$20) is their star menu item and while the price tag is a little on the heftier side, it’s well worth it. Each bowl comes with noodles of your choice, pork ribs, pigskin, vegetables and massive prawns that are doused in a generous amount of their famous broth. The soup base alone is enough to get you addicted; it’s extremely rich and packed with sweetness and umami from the prawns used. You can also tell how fresh the prawns are just by looking at them. Each piece has been sliced open for easier consumption and the meat is springy, crunchy and very sweet. They also are very generous with the amount of pork ribs provided and these were surprisingly very chunky and tender. I’m not a fan of pigskin but if you are, the ones here are soft and thinly sliced so you can slurp them up with your noodles. If you want to add a little heat to your dish, you can add some of the provided chilli sauce, but honestly, it isn’t really necessary as the soup is good on its own.
