Before we stepped in we thought it was only a stall at a coffee shop, turns out the whole coffee shop is run by them. It's just two guys running the show at night. One to prepare the noodles, the other serves. They do have a drink stall helper though.
This is a picture of the side of the stall. Basically all around the coffee shop you can see pictures of the prawn noodles and what not. The picture below is their menu. They have all sorts of prawn noodles you can imagine. From your regular small prawn noodles, big prawn noodles, big prawn and pork rib noodles, big prawn and pigs tail noodles, pig intestine noodles etc. A whole wide range to choose from. Was stuck for awhile when I was ordering cause I didn't know which type to choose.
Ok I ended up choose the normal big prawn noodles and Terence chose the big prawn pork rib noodles. I like a beehoon mee mix and Terence went for just yellow mee.
(Big Prawn Pork Rib Noodles)
(Big Prawn Noodles)They're pretty quick, food arrived shortly after we ordered. How's that for efficient 2 man service? I think Terence made a better choice, seeing that for $1 extra you can have pork ribs. He said the pork ribs were good. =( Anyway the noodles were topped off with fried garlic which kinda compliments the soup. Well I like this kinda stuff. Soup was sweetish due to all the prawn heads and pork bones boiled to create the soup. Definitely good but always tastes better with chilli powder and some chilli padi! Love that stuff man. With the chilli powder and padi in, that hit the spot. Should have asked for more soup but paiseh la. Haha. The noodles were decent, not the best though, a bit overcooked. Prawns on the other hand were fresh and firm, with a nice bite. Terence said the soup wasn't thick (gao) enough but I thought it was good enough. Overall a better than average bowl of prawn noodles. Don't see many prawn noodle shops open till the wee hours of the morning so this place is good when you need your prawn mee fix for supper.
As you can see from the picture above, that's their operating schedule. They're opened like almost 24 hrs everyday except monday. Place was pretty crowded when we went there, and more people were streaming in when we left. Guess the place is pretty popular huh? They seem to have many regular clients, saw quite a few people chatting up the noodle server and asking for their regular stuff. Hmmm hmmm, even middle aged men with mid life crisis driving sports cars also patronize the place.River South (Hoe Nam) Noodles House

OH and did I mention that it's just a few doors down from my favourite turtle soup place? Too bad turtle soup closes early or I'd have that instead!
