Her parents had been operating this iconic little stall for decades in Whampoa with her relatives. When Rui Fang graduated with a degree in Economics, she ditched corporate life and went back to helping her parents at the hawker stall (like she did as a kid). Her folks help her open this second stall and toil with her each day on-site. Their prawn noodle is very old school – small and unforgivingly fresh prawns are used and the stock is rendered with roasted prawn heads and secret seasoning. The classic noodle to order is “yellow noodles” – the scintilla of alkali in the noodles goes so well with the stock and prawns. The prawn intensity is very present in the stock and there’s a sweetness that comes with hints of rock sugar that is so pleasurable. They offer a dry sambal version and this one is equally popular, whereby the soup is served separately. This is the ultimate Singapore-style prawn ramen.
