Prawnaholic Review: Prawn Noodles With Torched Kurobuta Pork At Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre

Fast-forward four months, we were still hearing about the prawn noodles from Prawnaholic and how crazy the queue gets during peak hours. Prawnoholic: Juicy Prawns from Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre Food at Prawnaholic The signature dish at Prawnaholic is their Special Prawn Noodles ($6.50) .

We opted for the soup version and this was a huge bowl of intensely dark prawn broth brimming with yellow noodles, two huge prawns, a handmade prawn ball, and pieces of torched kurobuta pork. Just as the colour of the soup is much darker than the usual ones you find elsewhere, you can as well expect the taste of prawn stock to be much more distinct here. The best thing about this dish is that the noodles are drizzled with thick sauces before the soup is poured over it.

This gave every bite of the noodles a stronger punch of flavours where you first taste the saltiness of the sauce before the sweeter broth kicks in. Though they as well have a King Prawn Noodles ($8.50) option, the regular prawns were only slightly smaller than the king prawns, making every cent spent on this dish worth it.

The thick layer of sauce that coated the pork was sweet and savoury, and as I chewed further, I was impressed by how well the meat retained its juices. The other dish we had was their King Prawn Noodles ($8.50) , where we went for the dry version and topped it up with an Onsen Egg ($1) . On top of the components that were found in the previous dish, this one as well had a decadent amount of fried pork lard and fried chilli bits.

Toss it all up with the runny egg yolk and we got a heap of relatively wet noodles that was dripping with sauce. Because of how heavily seasoned the noodles were, every bite packed a punch and was sweet, savoury, and slightly spicy all at the same time.

Though the crunch from the pork lard and chilli bits made the noodles addictive, the overall mix was too heavy for any of us to finish a bowl by ourselves – not a bad thing for the big eaters though! Like the ones in the previous dish, the king prawns were fresh and getting the flesh off the shell was a piece of cake.

The last dish that we got to share was their Fish Skin w/ Pork ($8.50) , the newest item on their menu. Though the sauces did not taste the way I had anticipated, they were nonetheless flavourful and were interesting finds in a hawker centre. Even with the sauces coating the fried fish skin, the original taste of the fish skin was not overwhelmed.

Together with the juicy pieces of kurobuta pork, every bite was sinfully addictive and is definitely a dish to be shared by two or more. Ambience at Prawnaholic Prawnaholic is located at The Fareground, the second floor of Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre. Though Pasir Ris is far from where I live, I will surely be back for their Special Prawn Noodles and Fish Skin w/ Pork!
