Family-run prawn noodle institution since 1963, famous for its sweet umami-rich broth and meaty pork ribs at Old Airport Road.
Albert Street Prawn Noodle has been serving prawn noodles since 1963, making it one of the longest-standing prawn noodle stalls in Singapore with over 60 years of history. Starting on Albert Street itself, the stall moved through Lavender Food Square before settling at Old Airport Road Food Centre, where it continues to draw queues of loyal fans. The broth is the defining feature, a rich, sweet and deeply umami-packed liquid that comes from hours of simmering prawn shells and pork bones to extract every ounce of flavour. The menu offers an impressive range, from basic prawn noodles starting at six dollars to premium options with big prawns, pork ribs, pig tail, abalone and even clam toppings. Every bowl, whether soup or dry, comes loaded with fresh prawns and your choice of noodle, from yellow mee to bee hoon and kway teow. The family continues to run the stall with the same dedication that has kept customers returning for generations, and the generous portions make every dollar count. Visit Albert Street Prawn Noodle at Old Airport Road Food Centre for a bowl that has been perfected over six decades. It is heritage in a bowl, and every sip tells the story.Operating Hours

Love love love this prawn noodles. It has everything. Umami, the thin laksa noodles which is hard to find in other prawn noodles stall, the meat is tender, pork Lard, vinegar, chilli paste. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because I feel the prawns could be fresher and bigger. Other than that, my go to!

I used to come here regularly for the prawn noodles. Yet, sadly, the frequency has dropped. That is also due to the decreasing quality with each visit. While portions remain mostly the same, the flavour is getting lighter and lighter. Still, I appreciate the effort they take to halve the prawns and remove the intestines.
