Review: Prawn Mee at Nyonya Restaurant, New York (4 out of 5 bear paws)
Nyonya
194 Grand Street, Manhattan
Just as you wouldn't expect a good bagel in Singapore, you wouldn't expect a good prawn noodle in New York.
Or would you ?
10 years ago, Ms Bear was a exchange student in New York, and came to know about what's probably the best prawn noodle in the city, and some would say the world.
The 2Bears went to see whether Ms Bear's recollection was tainted by any homesickness or Asian food deprivation, and I'm happy to say I wasn't hallucinating and the standard has held up for more than a decade.
It's a bigger better version of the best you can get in Singapore or Penang. The Hokkien noodles are springy, the broth is extremely rich, and makes you wonder whether prawns are a bargain in New York.
If only Singapore chefs could do the same about bagels ...
