The highlight of this prawn noodles was the broth. It's mildly sweet with a good balance of prawn taste and slightly garlicky. I particularly love the thickness of the soup. Each bowl of prawn noodles came with a spoon of pork lard, yummy!!! Some people may find this unhealthy; for me, it's just a monthly treat. I relished each scoop of the noodles with the broth. The prawns were fresh, and the service was good. Two young lads and the owner served this delicious bowl of comfort food to me. Bravo!!!
Would I go back again? Definitely!!! But, take note, the shop closes early (usually before 1 pm) and the waiting time is at least 30 minutes.
Went early in the morning and there was already a queue. The queue became much longer at 9am onwards. Ordered the $10 soup version without pork ribs. Delicious and consistent quality so far. Good broth and it is one of best prawn mee in Singapore. On the pricey side, but worth the price and trip (I stay in the west).
Back to my favourite prawn noodle place. Another happy meal. Everything was awesome and consistent, including price (that has not been changed for years). Definitely one of the best prawn noodle in Singapore. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors.
Love the seasoning of the dry prawn noodles. Nostalgic taste of chilli mix with ketchup that gives it a tang. Ingredients were fresh; the pork ribs fell off the bone when we picked it up, prawns were cooked to perfection. The soup had a nice umami but unfortunately non refillable (good things are cooked in small batches right?) Mixture of shallots oil and pork lard were fresh. The owner puts in a tremendous amount of effort and takes pride in their food.
We were lucky there wasn’t a queue at 9am but the queue formed when we were about to finish.
This comforting bowl of noodles would definitely take a trip down memory lane for most locals..
Finally make it here to try Da Dong Prawn noodles and understand the hype. The broth is to die for. Flavourful, rich and intense. Owner is very friendly n the portions are big. Thank you for keeping up the tradition!
27 Feb 2022: Ordered two bowls of the $10 Prawn Noodles (Large)…fresh prawn, soup is rich, flavorful and has a tinge of herbal. My preference is the dry version; the chilli and sauces combination is just awesome to give you the kick and the crispy lard is super shiok too. A little pricey but you pay for the quality and surprisingly, we didn’t have to wait long for our noodles (under 15 minutes)
I have given this prawn noodles 3 tries this year and in my opinion, this is not great prawn noodles. My 4 stars are for the soup alone, which is shiok. 3 stars for everything else. Having eaten countless times the beach road and old airport road variety (nearby), I may be too spoilt to consider this one worthy of another visit. This here is just normal standard coffee shop prawn noodles but over priced. It is not at all bad, it is decent, but not great. That’s that.
