Tong Sheng Pork Ribs Prawn Noodle 东升肉骨虾面 is a popular prawn noodle at Yishun specializing in freshly cooked prawns with various ingredients combo such as pig tail, pork loin, pork intestines, pork ribs in either dry version or in their signature prawn head soup. They also have sea hum laksa, lala soup freshly fried prawn fritters and ngoh hiang to go with the prawn noodles combo.
It is not hard to see why Tong Sheng Pork Ribs Prawn Noodle are popular among the regulars there in Yishun. They take pride in making their signature prawn soup from frying loads of prawn heads in a commercial size wok to boiling them till the soup takes on a darker richer shade of savoury goodness.
This soup is then used as a base for their entire prawn noodles combo soup version. The rich and savoury soup has clean flavours of prawns and meat. Tong Sheng Pork Ribs Prawn Noodles soup version will be sold out once they run out of the broth.
But fret not, you can also try their dry version which is also made with their in house sambal chilli paste. We did not manage to catch them frying the chilli in action but we saw them cleaning up the wok they used to fry the chilli sambal. We were told that this is done early in the morning as it takes them a long time to prepare and fry the chilli till the red oil and the chill separates which means the chilli is in the optimum state to be enjoyed. The same sambal chilli is used for their laksa.
Laksa with sea hum ($4.50) is the cheapest item on their noodle menu with lots of ingredients such as blood cockles (sea hum), tau pok, fish cake, egg and bean sprouts in a rich coconut gravy with spicy sweet sambal chilli on the side and some aromatic chopped laksa leaves as toppers.
Here’s Tong Sheng Pork Ribs Noodles review after trying all the items on their menu. The pocket friendly price for the noodle dishes are a big pull factor for returning customers with laksa at only $4.50 and even comes with blood cockles.
The crunchy Fried prawn fritter ($6.50 for 3) are nice additions for prawn noodles with its light texture and crisp crunch. These are fried to order so you get them piping hot every time. The fritter has shell-on shrimps which are fried till crisp like prawn vadai but minus the doughy texture.
Dip these fritters into some sambal, chilli padi, soak up the laksa gravy and prawn head soup or just eat it on its own. Must try!
They also have Ngoh Hiang paired with sambal chilli for some crunchy shiokness.
