Old Airport Road prawn noodle stall with robust, peppery broth
Albert Street Prawn Noodle is a hawker stall at Old Airport Road Food Centre that serves the classic Singapore prawn noodle soup. The stall's rendition features a robust, full-flavoured broth made from simmering prawn shells and pork bones, with a more peppery and savoury profile compared to the sweeter style found at some other prawn noodle stalls. The bowl comes with yellow noodles or bee hoon, topped with fresh prawns, pork slices, and bean sprouts, with a side of chilli paste for those who enjoy an extra kick. The broth's depth of flavour comes from long hours of boiling that extracts every bit of umami from the prawn shells. Albert Street Prawn Noodle takes its name from its original location along Albert Street before relocating to Old Airport Road Food Centre, bringing its established reputation along with it. The stall operates within one of Singapore's most celebrated hawker centres, and its prawn noodles have earned recognition among food critics and bloggers as a solid, satisfying rendition of this beloved local dish.Operating Hours

The most important part of prawn noodles are always its soup and chilli. I tried the soup one (the previous time I ate was very long ago, so I gave it a try again), and regretted miserably. Ordered no. 1's soup — the soup was extremely sweet, probably …

Prawns were mushy and grainy (not fresh) and disintegrated easily — how can you serve this? Service was extremely slow and inefficient. It's not a long queue but it's a slow queue. The only reason I ate here was because Kallang Cantonese was not open today.

Tried the normal prawn noodle (yellow mee with beehoon) soup and was sadly disappointed with the bland prawn broth which failed to deliver despite its hype. There were no veggies, fishcake, or pork slices in our order. The 2 sliced prawns were also not very fresh-tasting either.
