Wei Zhong Qi Prawn Noodle and The Old Stall Hokkien Street Prawn Noodle are two pretty well-known prawn noodle stalls at Alexandra Village Food Centre.
I am not sure if this is a new stall or has it always been there? It was only during a recent visit that I discovered this third prawn noodle stall at the food centre.
It had just a very generic name: big prawn noodle.
I am unable to find any information with regards to this stall on Google therefore, I submitted it as a new entry as Gu Zao Wei Big Prawn Noodle.
It is located along the same row as Dover Road Kai Kee Wanton Noodles (#01-09) and Tiong Bahru Lien Fa Shui Jing Pau (#01-10) facing the car park.

As it is my first time trying this stall, I decided to go for the basic bowl of prawn noodle dry ($4) with yellow noodle.
The mound of noodle were topped with tender pork slices and five halved slices of prawns. It was garnished with fried shallots.
I helped myself to the red, cut chili, white pepper and chili powder on the counter.
The meaty prawns are deveined and had their shells peeled which makes for easy eating. They tasted fresh and crunchy.

At first glance, the broth does not have that intense colour nor reddish hue however, do not be fooled by the insipid-looking prawn broth.
Despite its clear color, the flavor is evident with every sip.
I like how the broth is not cloying with the sacharriness of rock sugar which makes drinking uncomfortable.
I am able to finish the entire bowl till the last drop.

Giving everything in the bowl a good toss, the noodles were covered in a slick coat of fragrant oil and aromatic spicy-savory sambal.
I am glad I did not request for extra spiciness like I usually do because the oil from the sambal had that extra kick.
This bowl of prawn noodle is quite pleasing but I would be happier if fried crispy pork lard is provided.

Apart from the menu above, the stall also serve big prawn noodle ($10) and crayfish noodle ($10) in claypots.
Oh, the stall accepts CDC voucher and digital payment too.
