Classic Hokkien-Style Shrimp Noodles in Phuket Town
Prawn Noodle Ao Ke (เธซเธกเธตเนเธเนเธณเธเธธเนเธ เธญเนเธฒเธงเนเธ) sits on Phoonphon Road in Phuket Town, serving Hokkien-style prawn noodles that have kept locals and visitors coming back for more than a decade. The restaurant earned recognition from the Michelin Guide for consistently delivering simple, well-executed bowls built around one thing: prawn broth.
โWhat Makes It Special
The defining feature is the broth, made from prawn heads and shells. This cooking method releases natural oils and sweetness, producing a soup that tastes distinctly of prawns without needing much else. Reviews consistently mention the fragrant, slightly sweet character of the stock.
Two noodle styles are available: soup-based and dry. The dry version comes with tom yum paste coating the noodles, served with broth on the side. For a more intense flavour, the dry tom yum noodles are recommended. The soup version features either the original clear shrimp broth or a spicier tom yum variation.
Each bowl includes prawns (halved with shells), pork wontons, sliced pork, and yellow or Hokkien noodles. The wontons are frequently singled out as excellent. Toppings include fried garlic, crispy pork skin, and morning glory.
