The minute I walked up to Chef Kang’s Prawn Noodle House, I noticed the long queue waiting for the restaurant to open, and I was instantly taken aback.

Not only was it only 9.45am in the morning, Chef Kang’s Prawn Noodle House only sells two dishes—prawn noodles and hot stone rice—and I was in disbelief that crowds would queue for these dishes at such an early hour.
