Seafood White Meehoon at Ci Yuan Community Club


Chanced upon this stall at Ci Yuan Community Club's hawker center.  There are quite a number of options for the customers to choose.  I chose the lala and prawn white meehoon, but requested not to have lala.  Anything with a shell is not quite my cup of tea. 

White Meehoon with Prawn, $5.00

What is 'meehoon'? You may ask.  Meehoon is something like vermicelli, thin, long noodle-like food.  Very popular in southern China and South-East Asia.  My plate of white meehoon came with the meehoon immersed in the broth, topped with a few sea prawns and pieces of deep fried lard.   

I kind of liked the deep fried lard.  It was crispy, and it had a special texture and smell, very appetizing.  However, it may not be very healthy. 

The crown jewel of this dish was actually the broth.  Somehow it was very tasty.  Sweet, fragrant, and had a lot of depth. 

What is not so good is the portion.  The portion was quite small.  A few chopstick-ful later, the meehoon was all gone, but I was still like half hungry.
