Zhen Jie Seafood is a prawn noodle stall from Punggol that has since moved to Bedok North in May, 2019.

A league of its own

According to Facebook reviewer Ah Beng Foodie, they also add lala (cockles) in their soup for that extra sweetness. No MSG is used.

今天被带到鸟不生蛋、荒山遍野的榜鹅。惊奇的是这里的人并不稀少。可能是因为这里的事物都不错(只吃过西餐和虾面)。汤底属于清淡型但材料算十足,值得一试。#川川吃透透 #川川自家走 #虾面 #珍姐虾面 #coffeeshop #sghawkerfood #hawkerfood #foodiesg #foodgasm #prawnmee #prawnnoodles

If you're wondering why the soups differ in colour and texture, the stall owner explained that the colour of the soup depends on the type of prawn heads used.

On the other hand, the thickness of the broth depends on the time of day it is served (as this indicates how long the soup has been boiling for).

However, the taste is the same, according to the stall owner.

For those who aren't fans of soup dishes, their dry prawn noodles appear to be popular among patrons as well:

Go early to avoid disappointment as the stall is known to sell out by afternoon.
