A different kind of Prawn Noodles

More than a few weeks or few months ago, I had introduced 'Prawn Noodles(蝦面)' in this blog. Today, I am going to introduce a different kind of 'Prawn Noodles(蝦面)' that was a delicacy that can be found in Singapore. The name of the this 'Prawn Noodles' would be 'Fried Hokkien Mee'(炒福建蝦面).

Although, 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' was a common dish that can be found in most of the Hawker Centre in Singapore, there can be many different variations of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)'.

To make things interesting, I will be introducing not 1 but 2 different variations of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' in this post today. (Actually its because I was eating both variations of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' on the same day, that is why I'm writing both of them in one post.)

Let us start off with the first one.

This would be the first variation. Although this dish has a name of 'Fried Hokkien Mee',
there were actually a larger portion of Rice Vermicelli used as a ingredient as compared to the Noodles.

The dish in the above was prepared by this stall located in Changi Village.

This would be the second variation of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)'. Compared to the first variation of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' listed in this blog, this variation of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' uses a larger portion of Noodles as a ingredient as compared to the Rice Vermicelli.

The dish in the above was prepared by this stall located in ABC Brickworks Market/Food Centre.

Although the 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' that I had listed here were prepared by 2 different stalls from 2 different locations, both 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' were pretty good. Some similarities between both plates of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' would be the use of some specially prepared soup as a ingredient. Although, soup were used as a ingredient, the Noodles and Rice Vermicelli didn't turn out to be very soggy. And both stalls were pretty generous when it comes to the Lime and Chilli. Customers can help themselves to the unlimited flow of Lime and Chilli.

Note:

• There was 2 main variations of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' in Singapore. One of them would be dry, where the stall owners will use a minimum amount of soup throughout the process of preparing the 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)'. And the other would be the soupy type which is the type of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' that I had introduced in this post.
• There was another variation of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' where the stall owners will use cubes of fried pork as a ingredient. I remember this variation of 'Fried Hokkien Mee(炒福建蝦面)' was pretty common back then, but it was pretty difficult to find it nowadays already.
