Our take: Traditional Famous Prawn Mee offers a nostalgic take on hawker fare, with both prawn noodles and lor mee on the menu.
While the prawn noodles (priced around $5.30-$5.50) are described as average by some, the freshness of the prawns and the lean-fat balance of the pork slices are consistently praised.
The broth for the prawn mee tends to be peppery, with some noting a decline in richness compared to previous years.
The dry version's sauce is described as ketchup-y, suggesting a preference for mee pok over yellow noodles for some.
We think the Lor Mee might be the sleeper hit here, with one reviewer calling it 'more lit' than the prawn mee itself.
While past crowds were significant, recent visits suggest shorter queues, especially on Sunday afternoons.
We'd recommend trying the Lor Mee, and if opting for prawn noodles, consider the dry version with mee pok for a different texture.
Best for a quick, fuss-free meal, especially if you're in the area and looking for a taste of tradition.

What customers say
Traditional Famous Prawn Mee receives mixed reviews, with customers noting a decline in the quality of the prawn noodle soup, which is now often described as peppery and less flavorful than before.
While the prawns are consistently praised for freshness, the dry version's sauce can be ketchup-like.
The Lor Mee, however, is highlighted as a standout dish, and the stall generally offers generous portions and friendly service, though crowds have diminished.
