Seng Huat Noodles Stall – Prawn Mee Has Countless Regulars Returning For 20 Years

Every weekend, my family will head to our favourite Telok Blangah Food Centre for breakfast. And our favourite food? The comforting dry prawn mee from Seng Huat. We, and countless others, have been regular customers of Seng Huat Noodles Stall for many years.

Over the last twenty years that Seng Huat has been at Telok Blangah, they have faithfully served the residents and garnered a strong loyal following. The husband-and-wife duo work together in tandem, with the uncle doing the cooking, and the auntie taking orders. She even knows all the regulars’ orders by heart, and can predict their orders before they utter a single word! Seng Huat was previously located at Bukit Merah for around twelve years, before moving to Telok Blangah. The uncle started learning the ropes from his boss when he was just a teenager in 1982. Seng Huat sells fishball noodles too, but their prawn mee remains the more popular option.

The Prawn Noodles ($3) are available in both soup and dry versions with a choice of yellow noodles, mee pok, mee kia, bee hoon and kway teow. We ordered the Dry Prawn Mee Kia and the crowd favourite Prawn Noodles Soup. The al dente bee kia had a bouncy and firm bite. I suspect that the noodles were coated in lard because it was so smooth and fragrant! The uncle stir fries his own chilli to constitute the seasoning, which makes the mee kia savoury with the slightest hint of sweetness and spiciness. The prawns, though small in size, were very fresh and sweet. Most importantly, the portions at Seng Huat are very generous. At just $3, you get a filling bowl of mee kia and numerous prawns. Finish the meal with the accompanying bowl of prawn soup and I assure you, your day is made.

The Prawn Noodles Soup seem to be more popular with the older folks. The boss shared that the rich prawn soup is made from a stock of fried prawn shells and pork ribs. The distinct flavour of the prawns manifests strongly in the soup, and it is almost as if you can taste the ocean in your mouth! Uncle also told me that unlike most places where they spam rock sugar in their prawn soup, Seng Huat puts less rock sugar to allow the natural sweetness of the prawns to come through without artificially drying one’s mouth. Note that if you order the Prawn Noodle Soup, it is inevitable that the alkaline flavour of the noodles will be infused inside the soup. Besides prawns, there are also pork slices and fish cakes in the prawn noodles. Seng Huat also adds crispy, fragrant and perfectly fried pork lard in both the dry and soup prawn noodles. Sinful, but yummy!

I always look forward to visiting Seng Huat on Saturday mornings. The couple is warm and welcoming, and you will often catch the friendly auntie bantering with the regular customers in queue. They are only open from Friday to Monday due to the ailing health of the couple. Seng Huat’s prawn noodles comes highly recommended, but be prepared to queue, especially during peak hours!
