One fine morning out with granny searching for a yummy food stall

The Old Stall Hokkien Street Famous Hokkien Prawn Mee (Since 1943)

Price range: $3 (pic on the right) /$4/$5

Business Hours: 930am - 4pm (closed on Thursdays)



Chanced upon this tasty food stall which was formerly located at Hong Lim Complex hawker centre (Upper Cross Street #02-68). However, at present due to renovation works, all of the food stalls have temporarily shifted to a location beside HLC.

Our original plan was not to look for this stall but another which granny have always recommended, that is, the Ipoh Hor Fun stall. But it was still not opened for business when we reached the place around 1040am. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the prawn noodles and guotiao.

Branch: 10, Sengkang Square #01-60 (Opens daily from 7am - 11pm)
 

According to the stall's owner, the prices varies according to the size of the prawns!

There are also other options, for example, pork rib soup/dry prawn noodle.

 

Below: Specially concocted chilli powder which gives an added 'oomph'

to the already chewy yummy noodles.

HumptyDump checks out MUST GO BEFORE YOU DIE places in London

1. We bought so many cards in London... we think the lady at Scribblers probably thought Humptydump came from the mountains. Discovered Rob Ryan, more nonsense from Edward Monkton and and nuvuestudio.com. Prices around S$6.00 per card. Frame them if you can't bear to give it away... Check out Rob Ryan's paper cut-outs.

2. Liberty Market - From the exterior this looks like a staid Tudor-style building but step inside and it is a treasure trove for cutting-edge women and men's wear from the likes of A.P.C., Christopher Kane and Jil Sander, obscure perfumeries and beautiful furnishings, gifts and fabrics. Totally enchanting and in a class of its own. Prices range from S$100 for a keyring by Mulberry to the-sky's-the-limit. High-end but worth a visit just for its stylish merchandise display ideas.
