The Big Prawn Noodle ($5.50) is served in both the soup and dry versions, with three big fresh prawns. The soup is flavourful and sweet, with a hint of the umami prawn taste. For those who enjoy strong flavours, you might find it a tad bland but then again, it is still up to personal preference. Have a bite of the prawns and you can instantly taste the freshness. Additionally, they are pretty huge and have a pleasantly bouncy texture.

For those who prefer dry noodles, the dry version comes highly recommended. The noodles are coated with a homemade chilli paste, giving a pleasantly spicy and savoury taste to each bite! To top it off, fried shallots and pork lard are added for that extra umami and crunch. For those meat lovers, you can also opt for their Big Prawn Pork Rib Noodles ($5.50). The pork ribs are flavourful and fall-off-the-bone tender, making every bite simply enjoyable.
