Da Dong Prawn Noodles

Founded in 1966, Da Dong Prawn Noodles has long been a local favourite for its rich and sweet crustacean and pork broth. The prawn noodle shop on Joo Chiat Road is run by second-generation hawker, Watson Lim, who continues to serve the same recipe his dad perfected all those years ago. Expect a heady broth chock full of the natural sweetness of the prawns it's been simmered with for hours, as well as a creamy richness imparted through the stewing of pork ribs and bones. Each bowl of noodles is then finished with plump tiger prawns available in a variety of sizes as well as crispy pork lard, beansprouts and kang kong. Go big with the big prawn noodles which will set you back $15, or stick to the standard pork rib prawn noodles ($8).
