I visited 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles yesterday and last Sunday. It is one of the best prawn noodles I have eaten in Singapore. Check out their Facebook Page.
I ordered the $4 Soup version. As you can see, the serving is decent. I reached at around 11am and there was a short queue. However, it rather fast and I gotten my food in less than 15 minutes.
It is GODLIKE. You can taste the goodness of the prawn. The soup is rich and tasteful, but never saltish. It was the first time I finished the soup of Prawn Noodle, apart from the Hokkien Mee in Penang.
The ingredients are fresh and you would have to worry about wasting your calories when eating the prawn noodle. Every mouth is worth the effort.
You can order either the $3 or $4 version. Sometimes, they have the ultra big prawns (palm size) and they are available at $8/$10. I will definitely find time to try it (sold out yesterday).
Some history/background
This hawker stall is helmed by a young woman, Ruifang, spurred on by the need to carry her dad’s prawn noodles recipe into a new generation. The roots of prawn noodles in Ruifang’s family go as far back into the 1950s when her grandfather started selling it along the streets of Whampoa before it was even named so. In 1973, Whampoa Market was built. As her grandfather fell ill, Ruifang's Dad and Grandmother took a stall, and has been selling prawn noodles since then. The current stall at Whampoa Market is run by Ruifang's aunts. With the guidance of her dad, Ruifang is bringing bowls of tradition and history to Tekka Food Centre.
