Lao Ban Niang Prawn Noodle

We see consistent praise for the dry noodles, particularly when paired with spicy chilli, and the tender pork ribs.

The soup version is noted for its peppery kick, which some find reminiscent of bak kut teh, and a strong prawn head flavour, though some feedback suggests it can be a bit diluted.

While some diners laud it as one of the best, others find it to be an average bowl, suggesting it might be overhyped given its online following.

The $5 dry Mee Pok with pork ribs and pig skin, or the $4 soup Kway Teow, are common orders.

Prices have seen some increases, with a bowl with pig tail and pig skin reaching $7.

We note that the stall can draw a queue of around 20 minutes, particularly during peak hours, but early weekday lunches tend to be less crowded.

Verdict: A solid option for those in the area looking for a peppery prawn noodle, but manage expectations if you're making a special trip based on online hype.
