You Fu Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle - family hawker stall at #02-186 Chinatown Complex since July 2023.
You Fu Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle is a family-operated hawker stall located at Chinatown Complex Food Centre that represents the continuation of a beloved Hokkien mee tradition. Opened in July 2023, this stall is run by the father of Andre Ong from the original YouFu brand, creating his own independent outlet while maintaining the family's signature style. Located in the blue zone at #02-186, the stall serves authentic Hokkien mee featuring yellow noodles and thin vermicelli stir-fried with medium-sized prawns, egg, and pork belly slices in a savory prawn stock base. Available in three portion sizes (, , ), each plate achieves the coveted wok hei through high-heat stir-frying and is served with fresh lime for the perfect balance of umami, sweetness, and zest. The dish showcases the comforting flavors that Singaporean Hokkien mee is famous for, with the prawns and noodles infused with rich, aromatic seafood essence. Operating Monday to Saturday from 10:30am to 8pm (closed Sundays), this stall continues the family legacy while establishing its own identity in Chinatown's competitive food scene.
First time here despite following them from You Fu (Golden Mile), to Woodlands, to "Shiok" (all over).
I find today's rendition better than what it was when the dad was behind the wok at Golden Mile (in yesteryears). I can't talk much about the wok hey but there's sufficient heat.. and the flavor/ umami were good. Belachan chilli is not my type (prefer sambal), but the flavor was good enough without the chilli.. and importantly - no alkaline taste (that is prominent at Shiok outlets).

You Fu Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle in Chinatown serves up some of the best fried prawn noodles in town! The noodles are stir-fried to perfection, with a great balance of savory flavors from the prawn stock and the perfect amount of wok hei (charred aroma). The prawns are fresh, juicy, and tender, adding to the overall richness of the dish.
The portion is generous, making it a satisfying meal, and the fried shallots on top add a nice crunch and extra depth of flavor. The level of spiciness is just right, though you can always adjust it to your preference.
The small shop has a simple, no-frills vibe, but the food more than makes up for it. The service is quick, and the staff is friendly. If you’re a fan of flavorful Hokkien noodles, this place is a must-try!

One of my favorite hokkien mee.
Used to support him at the golden mile stall during covid when nobody ever knew his stall. Since not much food available, we made eye contact and he asked, want hkm anot? Ready liao. $5 one packet. Ok lo. Take.
Went home and wah. This hkm good leh. It was so good that i informed my neighbours and they wanted to try so we had a group buy. Thereafter many of them loved this.
Fast forward, after he handed back the stall to his son and thereafter to his 2nd son, i no longer patronise them at golden mile since the taste lose to this original stall.
Today’s hkm was fry by his assistant who is also personally trained by the boss.
Taste wise, even after i dabao during lunch for dinner, still so good. The pork lard is still crispy. Prawns are so big. But of course, boss cook still better. With this, deserved a 5 star rating!

Tried the Fried Hokkien Mee. Not bad! It was flavourful with wok hei and the noodles soaked up the gravy. There were two prawns and a few pieces of pork. One of the better ones in Sg.

Good "wet style" hokkien mee with great wok hei! These guys have been around quite a bit and are now in the Chinatown hawker center (Smith Street). Cooked in small batches of 3 to 4 plates at a time. About 10 min wait during lunchtime crowd. Fried lard pieces are optional but essential in my opinion!
