20 Years After “Sharing” Famous Adam Rd Prawn Mee Stall With Bro, Hawker Sets Up Own Joint In Newton
The older brother of the hawker behind Michelin Bib Gourmand stall Adam Rd Noo Cheng Big Prawn Noodle has opened his own independent stall.

Ask any foodie to share their favourite hae mee haunts in Singapore and there’s a good chance that Adam Rd Noo Cheng Big Prawn Noodle would be on the list. The Michelin Bib Gourmand stall at Adam Food Centre was founded over thirty years ago by Teo Aik Cheng, 58, who perfected their family recipe with his twin brother Aik Hua after inheriting the stall from their parents, who used to sell prawn mee, fishball noodles and laksa. Aik Hua later ventured out to establish Zhi Wei Xian Zion Big Prawn Noodle, formerly known as Noo Cheng Adam Road Prawn Mee (Zion Road), at Zion Riverside Centre.
During our previous interview in 2021, Aik Hua explained that he changed the stall name in 2018 to establish a distinct brand identity, emphasising that both brothers manage their prawn mee businesses independently. Two years ago, the hawker opened a fancier restaurant under the same name at South Bridge Road, which regrettably closed in the same year. He continues to helm Zhi Wei Xian, which also has a Bib Gourmand accolade.
The Adam Road prawn mee legacy continues with Jack Teo, 62, older brother of the twins, who recently opened Adam Road Prawn Noodle (San Ge) at Newton Food Centre. The term ‘San Ge’, which translates to ‘Third Brother’ in Chinese, is a reference to Jack’s position among his six siblings.
