Boon Lay Ho Huat Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee (West Coast)

This outlet at West Coast is a far cry from the original Boon Lay Ho Huat in Jurong which I tried in 2021. That was takeaway and it tasted better than this, so that’s saying something.

First of all, although this is the wet and slurpy type, the gravy has very little prawn flavour. Just salty. You get two shrimps and a few pieces of squid added to the noodles but taking these out of the fridge just before adding to the noodles, these did nothing towards enhancing the noodles’s taste. There was no pork belly nor any lard bits. Besides these, there were just a little bit of egg.

The chilli was mild but it was necessary to elevate the taste of the noodles. And I have never seen lime that small, I had to squeeze two just to get the enough tanginess.

I think I’d better go back to the original stall.
