Famous Beach Road Prawn Noodles

Prawn Noodles

This Particular Prawn noodle stall was originally from Beach Road area and is very famous for many years. Their Signature dish is obviously their prawn noodles and you can order them either dry or in their lovely soup! They come in a variety of sizes and combination either just prawns or with spare ribs etc.

The one that i order as shown above had an addition of pig's tail. The prawn was cooked to perfection as it was not too rubbery and the pig's tail was soft and tender as well. The ingredients are quite generous and the the one ingredients that made the whole dish shine was the lovely fried shallots as the garnish and some pieces of PORK LARD which you don't find hawkers use these days as it can be bad  for health! Not forgetting that bowl of soup that comes with it when you are eating the dry version of  the prawn noodles. You could really taste the essence of the prawn being cooked out in the that bowl of lovely goodness and the spices used in the soup made it flavoursome and rich in once mouth! 

Overall, this prawn noodle is by far one of the BEST I ever had and I am definitely coming back for it!

Showdown of the Katong Laksa!!

Original Katong Nonya Laksa

The Laksa as you can see above is said to be The Original Marine Parade Katong Laksa. This laksa is located inside Roxy Square an have been serving the traditional Nonya style laksa for more than 50 years. This broth of this laksa has sort of slight seafood taste to it and the amount of coconut milk added is not that strong making it palatable to most taste buds of locals and even foreigners. 

328 Katong Laksa

The Laksa above is the famous 328 Katong Laksa which is said to be the original Laksa in Katong. This particular laksa to me is sort of more richer in taste and the amount of milk added. The broth taste is richer in the prawn flavour. The chilli paste is the killer as the amount one adds helps to amplify the flavour of the laksa broth. In terms of price wise, the 328 Katong laksa seems more worth in the amount of ingredients in there. 

Overall, the showdown between the two laksa stalls was rather interesting as i got to taste two of the famous laksa around the Katong area. Both tasted brilliantly. However, the ultimate verdict is that if you are a person whom loves a richer flavour in the broth and love the chilli paste that goes with it and also value for money, then go for the 328 stall. But then again if you are looking for a a more traditional flavour and palatable to the taste buds of most consumers as the taste of the broth is much more mild then go for the one at Roxy square. Ultimately, it's once preference!
