Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle

There are lots of 'local' food in Singapore that can also be commonly found in Malaysia and vice versa, though they may not be cooked the exactly the same way e.g. wantan mee, fried carrot cake, satay, roti canai, ayam ponteh etc.

However, it's not the case for Singapore's Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle. This is a common noodle dish in Singapore but could never be found in Malaysia...until now (apologies for the gimpy photo quality):

Pavilion Food Republic 7.50

It was found in the Food Republic food court at Pavilion. Food Republic is owned by Breadtalk, a Singaporean company. Food Republic has a number of food courts in Singapore. Though the design at Pavilion is quite typical of a Food Republic food court, it is more spacious.

Some observations about the noodle dish:
  • It had 4 medium-sized prawns, few slices of squid, some egg and beansprout
  • The noodle was either the Korean potato noodle (chapchae) or something similiar i.e. translucent and smooth, unlike the one in Singapore where 2 types of noodle are used i.e. yellow and white
  • It tasted the same as that in Singapore
  • The sambal was different: it was watery and not as spicy but tasted ok
  • The serving size was similar to the any noodle dish in a typical 'tai chau' place. Hence, at the price of RM7.50, it's about RM1-1.50 more expensive

William,
Try it!

thompsonboy,
Try it! Also, Jap food is generally better than KL, in my opinion. Oh, and Peach Garden has awesome dim sum.

I've never had this dish. I know S'pore has great kuih lopis. OK, their dim sum and paus are good. Otherwise, in general, Mysian food is much better. sr

sr,
As I've suggested to others before, try it! My grandpa and dad like it and they are Malaysians.
