For prawn mee soup we usually to for the mix of yellow noodles and thick bee hoon. Only yellow noodles it can be overwhelming. Somehow with both it taste better.
The joy of having hawker food is the varity from the different hawker, a hokkien mee here, and a sugar cane juice to compliment the meal. The expertise of the hawker, just hyper focus on a single dish. Spending years and getting good at that one dish. If I were to have hokkien mee, I will have it without the lime first, to enjoy the hokkien mee richness fully, after a while then I will spike in the lime juice to cut the richness of the dish, and apperciate the transformation of the dish.

To do justice to swee guan , you have to pack it. Leave the the packaging for 15-20 mins . All the charcoal taste will infused with the stock umami. It will be on the other level of enjoyment. Bedok north block 511 has a no name but full of ingredients signboard Hokkien mee. That will be a benchmark for good Hokkien mee. Because the uncle stew the noodles with the stock for a good time.
To be honest swee guan is one of the worst I ever had. The taste is not even smoky or wok hei, but more of a terrible burnt smell. And your $8 portion is pathetic.
oh completely different. honestly impossible to compare. Yakisoba is delicious but hokkien mee takes a lot of time and effort to prepare, and even then the dish might not turn out good
