Here's an edited version of the review, focusing on grammar and minor readability improvements while retaining the original meaning and sentiment: "Bought the $6.90 Prawn Noodles Soup. **Good points:** * The soup has a surprisingly creamy taste, which makes it quite special and stand out from other prawn noodles. * The portion looks small, but is actually decent for a grown man. However, something about the bowl makes the portion appear very, very small, which isn't ideal when a customer is already paying $7. * The environment is air-conditioned. **What needs to improve:** * It sells for $7, but at nearby Our Tampines Hub, similar (and also very good quality) prawn noodles sell for $3.80. While the most special part is this stall's soup, if they want repeat customers, they need to provide a more satisfying overall food experience. * Too stingy with the soup. I don't believe adding a bit more soup would significantly drive up the cost of the dish, so they shouldn't be so stingy. It's the best part of the dish that will keep people coming back. As the saying goes, '小财不出，大财不进.' It's a bit penny-wise and pound-foolish. * The preparation is a bit strange. They only boiled the noodles and served the prawn and meat cold. I've never seen a stall do that before; usually, they throw the prawn and meat in with the noodles to at least heat them up. This makes the dish feel very lacklustre, and I felt like the good soup was wasted on such poor preparation. * They don't provide dark sauce, which should be standard. Overall, it's not bad. I might come back to try again to see if it improves. Good luck to the business owner. **Edit:** I came back a second time to try. The soup is a lot more generous, and they heated the prawn and pork ribs. It makes all the difference. Still no dark sauce, though. It will be my go-to prawn noodles now when the weather is hot."

Something is off about the broth. It's lacking sweetness and leaves a weird, bitter aftertaste. The coriander was also something I didn't expect for prawn noodles. But I still finished it, and I'm unlikely to return.

Here's an edited version, keeping the original meaning and sentiment intact: I've been a frequent weekly customer for the past 18 months. I would have highly recommended it for its price-to-taste ratio, until the last two weeks. This review comes after my third recent visit to Jiaxin Prawn Noodles at Tampines Mall, Level 5 food court, to confirm the consistency of the changes. Prices have increased again (less than six months after the last hike), and crucially, the portion size has been reduced. The pork meat serving, in particular, is now 1/3 to 1/2 less, making it poor value and an unsatisfying meal.

I usually don't try prawn mee at food courts because they inevitably disappoint. I only attempted this because one reviewer above compared this favorably to the one at Loyang. Well, I think that reviewer needs to have his tastebuds checked and confiscated. This is pretty damn average, even for a food court stall. Soup has some flavor but very little depth, with a diluted taste. Prawns are small, and the pork ribs, oh my god, are so flavorless. It cost $11. I would rather drive all the way to Loyang and pay double the price to eat the prawn mee there than to eat this again.

Not sure why the reviews are kinda mid, because the bowl of noodles I got was very good. Unless their standards vary day to day? Usually, I 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 and many pieces of soft pork slices. I find the $6.90 bowl very good 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!

Here's the edited review: We ordered the dry prawn noodles, jumbo size. Food: Above-average quality prawn noodles. The jumbo size provided a generous portion of meat and prawns. The soup has robust flavors. Price: Average food court pricing. Service: Order at the counter; payment can be made with cash or cashless options. Atmosphere: A typical kopitiam food court, it gets crowded during peak hours.

A hidden gem in Tampines Mall food court. Stock is very tasty and prawns are very fresh. Service is good as well. 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 noodles; it cost $6.90. You can choose your noodles; I had a mix of beehoon and yellow noodles. The bowl came with two medium-sized prawns, halved. They were cleaned well and very fresh, along with 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 flavourless ones you often 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, providing a textural crunch. Unlike some places where the flavour seems to settle to the bottom of the bowl and you have to mix it well, I was delighted from the very 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 was not hungry to begin with, so the first bowl was enough for me. I have tried the one with the long queue 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 do check them out when you're there.
