Jiaxin's Prawn Noodle

I had a sudden craving for prawn noodles and decided to try Jinxing Prawn Noodle at Tampines Mall food court after Googling it. I ordered the regular prawn mee soup and the regular prawn mee with pig’s tail. The soup was decent, though not particularly outstanding. The prawns were fresh and conveniently peeled, which was a nice touch. Overall, it's an okay option if you're in the area and craving prawn noodles, but nothing too exceptional.

I'm not sure why the reviews are a bit lackluster, because the bowl of noodles I got was very good. Perhaps their standards vary day to day? I usually eat the nasi padang at this food court, but I gave this fairly new prawn noodle store a try since my dad recommended it. The broth was full of natural umami-sweetness, rather than tasting of MSG. I got 4 halves of de-shelled prawns plus many pieces of soft pork slices. I find the $6.90 bowl very value for money. It was a surprisingly good experience, and I'd say this is one of the better bowls of prawn noodles I've had!

We ordered the jumbo-sized dry prawn noodles. Food: The prawn noodles were above average quality. The portion of meat and prawns was generous when upsized. The soup had robust flavors. Price: Pricing was average for a food court. Service: You order at the counter and pay with cash or cashless options. Atmosphere: It's a typical kopitiam food court, and it gets crowded during peak hours.

A hidden gem in the Tampines Mall food court. The stock is very tasty and the prawns are very fresh. The service is also good. I will return for more tasty prawn noodles.

This stall is nestled within the Kopitiam food court at Tampines Mall. I'm always skeptical about trying new prawn mee stalls, as I'm often disappointed. This time, the Mr. ordered first, and after one sip of the broth, I decided to get my own bowl. While he was queuing, I checked out the Google reviews, and there were only three, as it's a relatively new stall. The five stars are definitely well-deserved! I ordered the standard prawn noodle, which was $6.90. You can choose your noodle; I had a mix of beehoon and yellow noodles. The bowl came with two medium-sized prawns, cut in half. They were cleaned well and very fresh, plus a handful of bean sprouts and kangkong. I was pleasantly surprised by the few slices of pork; they were tender and seasoned, unlike the usual tough, dry, and flavorless ones you get. The key to a good prawn mee is the broth. As you can see from the photo, it's a bowl of rich, orange, umami-filled goodness with bits of lard floating to provide a textural crunch. Unlike some places where the flavor seems to settle to the bottom of the bowl and you have to mix it well, I was delighted from the first sip. And good news for those who like to drink soup: you can add more at no additional cost! The Mr. finished his second bowl. I wasn't hungry to begin with, so the first bowl was enough for me. I have tried the long-queue one at Loyang Industrial Estate, but I think Jiaxin's is much, much better. Many stalls have come and gone at this food court. I wish them well and encourage you to check them out when you are there.
