Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee @ Tiong Bahru Food Centre - Bib Gourmand But I Have Better Ones

TiongBahruFoodCentre14

Recently I wrote about Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice at Tiong Bahru Food Centre which has been listed in Michelin Bib Gourmand 2016 and 2017 for Singapore. At the same food centre, there is another stall that shares the same honor. It is non other than Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee.

Fried Sotong Prawn Mee 4.2/5

Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee is the wet version with the yellow noodles and thin bee hoon absorbing the sweet and flavourful prawn stock. The plate of prawn mee comes with ingredients such as squid, prawn, bean sprouts and egg.

I have to say the prawn mee at Hong Heng is pretty good and satisfying. However I think I have tasted better ones. While the prawn mee is tasty with the robust prawn stock, it lacked wok hei. In addition, the chilli sauce it used does not go well with the prawn mee. I always feel that prawn mee needs those chilli that has a bit of tangy zest to match that sweet prawny stock of the noodles.

DurianAngMo11

I have known Luke from England (who has moved to Singapore about 10 years ago) as a Singapore vegetarian blogger who blogs at Hungry Ang Mo. Besides blogging about vegetarian food in Singapore, I also know about his love for durian. He is so passionate about the king of fruit that he has researched and written extensive about durian on his blog. Never in my wildest dream I would expect him to take his love for the fruit further to become a durian seller! Durian Ang Moh is partnership with Ah Teck the first honest durian seller he got to know. The stall is located at Blk 681 Hougang Ave 4.

Currently the stall is selling Mao Shan Wang and the more premium "Black Gold" Mao Shan Wang Durian, Durian Ang Moh gets their durians from Malaysia, working with local Malaysians farmers who still farm durians the old-fashioned way. They are honest durian seller focus in bringing quality durians from old trees.

Visiting the stall with all those thorny fruit and their yellow flesh screaming at you, flooding your nostrils with the beautiful smell. I just have to put my camera aside and get my hands dirty to indulge in the creamy and bitter sweet flesh. These are indeed good quality durian.
