Hup Lok on Havelock Road in Singapore

Prawn Mee Soup

These guys are kind of interesting in that they are a restaurant and seafood wholesaler that has gone through a few twists and turns, and have now finally landed on a shop doing hae mee featuring Japanese prawns imported from Ecuador (725 Havelock Road).

That bowl above is their signature item, which was arrived with three of those gigantic plump prawns along with quite a bit of other protein, like pork slices and prawn balls that were of pretty decent quality. More importantly, the broth was thick and savory, reminding me a bit of that lobster broth that Keisuke used to do.

No, the prawns aren't as good as say, live ones in Spain, but it is quite a steal at just S$12.80 (US$10.10). They have other things on the menu that looked interesting, including a Teochew braised foie gras. Or just pay two bucks more to get that bowl above but featuring prawns that have already been peeled for you.
