So this is the *prawn* noodle house from Chef Kang (85 Lorong 4 Toa Payoh #01-328), not his "noodle house" just one street away. There were only two things on the menu: the namesake prawn noodles, as well as a claypot rice version.
To my surprise, it was the latter that was much better, with firm and crunchy grains of scorched rice coated in lard, egg, and crackling (and thankfully it wasn't sweet; it even came with some salty fish sauce on the side to spike it with). The prawn noodles, on the other hand, sat in a broth that was not very savory.
The prawns were certainly large, but that also paled in comparison to the pork chop, which was impressively tender, moist, and with the added kick of prawn paste lining it. I'm not rushing to come back, but if I do, it will be for the rice.
