Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee

There it is: Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee. The famed hokkien prawn mee that everybody praised about. What's so special about this hokkien prawn mee is the fact that it's unlike any other hokkien prawn mee and it's much dryer than the others (much much dryer).

When I first got a look at it, I never thought that it would be this dry. Seriously, it's almost as if there's no gravy. I had always like the wetter hokkien prawn mee version. BUT, this hokkien prawn mee did not fail to impress me. It's very fragrant even though there's almost no gravy. All the gravy had most probably been absorbed by the mee and thus eluding the incredible fragrance. Oh, and there's only two tiny prawns and two slices of sotong... If not for the fact that the mee was fragrant, I would be cursing till the cows come home (then again, I did cursed about the amazingly... few ingredients when I ate it). The auntie even told me that $3 is for a serving for one person. Do I need to say that she's damn right?

Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee ($3)

Verdict:
Definitely recommended. Mainly because I'm a fan of hokkien prawn regardless whichever version. If you are a fan of the wetter version, do still try it. It might change your mind and open you to the world of the dry version of hokkien prawn mee (don't worry, I have no idea what I am talking about either).
