Lovely Xia mian


Was looking for something light and simple for dinner away from the crowd so we went to have prawn noodles just around the area. Staying away from the usual katong at least, but not any further though.



The shop is very famous and the owner seems to be someone famous. Many celebrity photos were hung on the walls. But what curious me would be the lack of crowd during dinner time while i was there. Not even half filled.



The soup had a strong prawn taste to it, must have been boiled for hours before serving. The flavour was strong yet smooth, not too overwhelming. The seafood taste blended well with the noodles which contributed a "flour" taste to the soup but was still as delicious and slurpy. Prawns on the other hand could have been more generous, for $4, this is slightly tiny.




I had the dry version, i wanted it spicy but was given it with a mixture of tomato sauce. A big minus point. Even though i thought the noodles were well cooked, Q ness was maintained, the ketchup was still a turn off.




Had a bowl of soup which proved to be nicer than the one without noodles as the soup had the seafood taste all infused within, without any "contaminants".


Was a good experience, just that soup was slightly salty.


Auntie note: Parking should be free but limited. They seem to be selling bah chor mee in the afternoon so please come at the correct time.



I cant find the exact address of this place.

It is along East Coast road just two shops away from Two Fat Men.
