Fried Hokkien Prawn mee

Went to the famous fried hokkien mee along Simon road. Was there around 5pm and there are not much people around. Understand that previously was the father doing the cooking but now the son is taking over the business.

So quickly pick a seat and order the hokkien mee …

WOW! It really blow my mind off!! They use the thinner version of the rice noodle with the normal ‘mee’. The wetness is just nice, not too oily. The seafood they use is really fresh and the prawn damn … its so sweet! Even though I had ‘economical rice’ about 15min ago, I still can finish this plate without any difficulties! Damn … its good!!

We also notice that there is a satay stall setting up for business and the charcoal burning at the BBQ. The smell of the burning charcoal make me feel like having satay, so i ask the auntie are they ready for business and she said yes. Ordered 5 mutton and 5 pork.

While we were waiting for the satay, we notice that there is this uncle peeling the onion skin … and while he is taking a break, he took out a cigarette and start to puff! OMG! Those onion are naked!! The ash from the cigarette may have drop onto the metal tray and dirty the onion in the tray… ok, nevermind, maybe he will wash it later i thought … then the uncle start to pick the skinned onion and start to cut them into pieces using the table as the chopping board!! Wa lau, you know how dirty is the table?

This is the tissue I used to clean the table that I am sitting (just beside the uncle table). Then the satay stall aunty come out from the stall and just pick up the cut onion and place them into a container …

We waited for about 20min and seem like they are not ready, as I was rushing for time, I check with the aunty if they are ready and if not, I want to cancel the order. The uncle who is doing the BBQ said he is doing it now and the first round of satay is mine … So i wait for another 5min …

The 1st 5 stick of mutton satay arrived… took a bite and hey, its not bad! The meat is very juicy and they apply a layer of their secret sauce onto the satay and make it taste a little sweet which goes very well with the satay. Then they took another 5 stick of pork satay, the meat is just cooked as in just pass the raw stage and just enter into cooked stage. They should have BBQ the satay slightly longer …

Anyway, verdict of this trip… The fried hokkien mee is a must to order and the satay, make sure that they are really ready for business and then order from them and also, if possible, DO NOT eat those onion and cucumber…
