If you are old school and know how to appreciate a good soup which today's yangsters don't, you could try...it's a different dish....Fort Canning Prawn Noodles. It's pretty pricey and the prawns are quite small.  The seller would give me a 10% discount when he saw my face..he didn't need to see any old folks' card, just my face was enough to convince him that I was his father's age thereabout.  I don't know how old you are, so you might have to pay full price if you still look yang.I'd order hei mee tar, and drink up that bowl of soup.  The dry version seasoning is nice, IMO.  But some peepur would order bee hoon mee terng or kway teow mee terng. I suppose they like it that way because of the soup.  Sadly they are a secret which only a small number of peepur knew about, so there was no queue...sad for the seller, but of course, good for me, as I didn't have to line up.

The prawn mee stall that I used to patronise at Ghim Moh, Prawn Village, has ceased operations following extensive renovations. I cannot understand why since their broth was really tasty and prices reasonable. I am approaching my mid-50s so I am old school, but friends have remarked that I look to be in my mid to late 40s. Perhaps that is why I have never been offered any discount at hawker stalls.
