Soon Heng White Bee Hoon (順興炒白米粉), Havelock Road Food Centre

Soon Heng White Bee Hoon (順興炒白米粉)

This 白米粉 shop (#01-03 Havelock Road Cooked Food Centre, 22A/B Havelock Road) took over the unit that used to be Soon Heng Hong Kong Style Charcoal Roast just next door to Havelock Turtle Soup. Are they the same people? 白米粉 for some reasons have trended in the recent years no small thanks to a certain Sembawang White Bee Hoon which has since expanded to a multi branched White Restaurant.

If you're thinking that this was another clone - well they are and they aren't. They are because the stall capitalized on the 白米粉 name which draws attention by association. It has nothing to do with White Restaurant. They aren't because their flavour was also different as far as I can tell. I was hoping that it'll be more intense from the seafood.

The gravy wasn't as flavourful. Not that it tasted bad. It didn't. It was certainly also not like the original Sembawang white bee hoon. Prawns were not fresh. Their sambal looked potent but it's not as scalp prickling as I had imagined. Made the bee hoon taste better though.
