Geylang Food Trail: People's Prawn Noodles 人人大虾面

Makan Boy is going to embark on a food trail over in Geylang. There are a few places that I would like to try out and I shall cover them in my blog in subsequent posts. I don't think I would be able to go to every place this very night so I shall just try my best if not there's always part two. Muahahahah!

First stop of this Geylang food trail, Makan Boy went to People's Prawn Noodle House located over at Lor 12. They have a few other outlets islandwide but it seems like this is their main branch. Reviews that i read online seem to rave about them quite a fair bit so of course Makan Boy had to try it to find out.

All the newspaper reviews

There wasn't a queue when I arrived which makes me a little bit suspicious. I could see that only a handful of customers are eating the noodles. Even the boss was sitting there shaking his leg before I ordered my noodles.They also serve other stuff such as pork ribs noodles. But I decided to stick to their main dish: Big Prawn Noodles ($5). I might try the pork ribs noodles if I do come here again which I suspect I mostly would.

It didn't take much time before my noodles arrived. First look and I could see that their soup base is not as dark as the others that I had tried. They had 6 half sliced prawns which is really not bad for 5 bucks. And the size of each of the prawns are just what the menu says: BIG Prawn Noodles. I mean these are even bigger than some of the big prawns that some outlets offer. I am impressed. But if it's all show and no go then quantity is useless.

But I wasn't disappointed at all. The soup was fantastic. Superbly sweet. So sweet that I actually finished all the soup. The prawns were also very fresh. The meat was big and JUICY. I like. Or maybe love. Whatever. As for the noodles, I don't think that it's anything special.

Look at that size!

Verdict:

Definitely recommended for all those who dig big prawn noodles. Overall it's one of the best big prawn noodles I ever tried.
