What better way to get your daily dose of prawn than visiting the newly opened Hock Kee Prawn Noodles? Located within Bishan Street 24’s Kimly Coffeeshop, this new contender lures you in with affordable menu items and fragrant aromas.
The customisability of Hock Kee’s signature Hokkien Prawn Noodles (S$6 for Small, S$8 for Large) is amazing. For S$2, you can pick Pig Intestine, Pig’s Tail or Tiger Prawn as an add-on. S$3 gets you chunky Pork Rib, while the cream of the crop: the XXL Big Prawn, has a fluctuating seasonal price.
The hokkien mee itself features your choice of noodles stir-fried for that aromatic wok hei. It’s then paired with thick belacan-based chili and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Each bite brings a balance of spice, acidity and sweet prawn meat.
The Pork Ribs Prawn Noodles (S$7 for Soup, S$7.50 for Dry) is a solid choice for a filling meal. Topped with thick chunks of pork ribs and crunchy fresh prawns, every mouthful is super meaty.
After you mix in the chili, this bowl of noodles transforms into a moist, savoury slurp that packs both garlicky fragrance and a spicy kick. Hokkien mee-style chili coating pork and prawns could never not taste good!
Apart from hokkien mee, the opening of Hock Kee Prawn Noodles brings their — you guessed it — Prawn Noodles (S$5 for Soup, S$5.50 for Dry). Labelled as “special” on the menu, this bowl includes prawns, pork slices, crispy pork lard, veggies and yellow noodles. What’s so special about it? Well, you’ll have to try it for yourself to truly find out!
Kimly Coffeeshop’s Bishan outlet features a clean, bright and airy setting — a conducive space for eating indeed. What’s more, both the coffeeshop and Hock Kee Prawn Noodles are open 24/7 to provide for all your cravings, no matter the time.
So if you’re passing though the area or living nearby, I think you know what to do, right?
