Ah Hwee Prawn Noodles is an old-fashioned prawn noodle stall located in the quiet area just across the entrance to Little India, where Selegie Road turns into Serangoon Road.

As mentioned in the previous post, I returned back to the same coffeeshop to try the fish soup. And what a queue greeted me! Certainly wasn’t expecting it but that usually means it should be good.

CMC Confectionery is one of those institutions in Singapore that retain the memories of the past. I first saw this place in the “Old Places” documentary that was produced by Royston Tan, and it had such a poignant feel that I just wanted to visit it to see for myself.
