We’re starting June off with some great news — Pasir Panjang’s beloved prawn mee stall, Fei Zai (Fat Boy) Pork Rib Prawn Noodles, reopened on 2 Jun after a 2-month hiatus.
Earlier in Mar, Fei Zai announced through a Facebook post that they would be going on a 2-month extended break from 24 Mar to Jun, after 20 years of operation at the same outlet. However, they didn’t disclose the reason why.
A netizen claimed to have spoken with the owner before the break, who allegedly shared that the stall would be closed for good due to a rent increase. Regardless of the reason, many customers are just excited to get their prawn mee fix at Fei Zai again after 2 long months.
One such customer even “went down almost every weekend just to see when will he be back.” There weren’t many updates on Fei Zai’s socials in this time, so can you blame him?
Now the question is, have the owners lost their touch after the break? You’d be pleased to know that, based on another patron who headed down on their first day of reopening, “the standard is still great”!
While the standard remained the same, the prices have unfortunately increased, each item by S$0.50.
Here are some of the prices you should take note of before heading down. The cheapest dish on Fei Zai’s menu is their Prawn Noodle, priced at S$4.50 and S$5.50. The most popular item on their menu, as depicted by the stall’s name, is the Prawn Noodle with Pork Rib (S$6/S$7).
If you’re already making the trip down to Fei Zai, might as well go all out and get their Big Prawn with Pork Rib (S$10/S$12), right? Don’t worry about making your money’s worth, as the small bowl already comes with 2 luxuriously large prawns and pork ribs, immersed in a umami-packed broth scattered with shallots.
Feel free to customise every component of your dish to your preference, from the soup/dry versions to your choice of noodle between yellow mee, kway teow or bee hoon.
This is your sign to try a bowl of this prawn mee, as Fei Zai (Fat Boy) Pork Rib Prawn Noodles reopens. They supposedly close at 1pm, but most dishes are sold out by 11am, so I’d recommend heading down first thing in the AM!
