New in town: Hae! Mee — 25-year-old Bai Nian 2nd-gen sells prawn noodles with palm-sized prawns
Hae! Mee, a new prawn noodle stall situated at Chai Chee ESR BizPark food court recently opened to the public on 15 May 2025. For all those who find the name similar to Hae! Claypot at Eunos, you're right! Both stalls are actually opened by the 2nd-gen of siblings whose parents run the popular Bai Nian Yong Tau Foo franchise.
25-year-old owner Chantal Pang, a single mother of 2, didn't exactly have a good relationship with her family. She got pregnant at 19. Despite her parents' advice and disapproval, she still ran away from home with her ex-husband. As a result, her family decided to cut ties.
Life outside was tough for Chantal as she juggled multiple jobs while taking care of her newborn. As she grew older, she realised that her parents just wanted the best for her and didn't want her to live a life of regret.
Thus, Chantal sincerely wanted to reconcile with her family and regain their trust. Her brother asked if she wanted to work at the claypot shop. Since she had amassed some experience during her younger days when helping out at her parent's stall, she agreed.
Over time, she reconciled with them and her kids got to connect with their grandparents. She later decided to build her own F&B brand that symbolises home and growth, and that's when Hae! Mee came to fruition.
To ensure Chantal receives only the freshest palm-sized prawns daily, her brother Tommy, who had working relationships with seafood suppliers at Jurong Fishery Port seafood, connected her with them.
There are 4 options of noodles available — kway teow, yellow mee, and bee hoon — each served either dry or soup. The Signature Big Prawn Noodle (S$11.90), the chef's choice, contains 2 massive prawns, prawn paste, pork slices and pork lard.
If you don't particularly fancy large prawns, you can go for the normal sized ones like the Prawn Noodle (S$6.90) and Classic Prawn Noodle (S$8.90), which come with 4 prawns each. The only difference between the two is that the latter has 2 additional fried beancurd rolls.
You can also take your bowl of noodles to the next level by adding ingredients like Liver (S$1), Pig Skin (S$1) and Prawn Paste (S$2).
The menu also has delightful side dishes such as Golden Prawn Pancake (S$5.90), Golden Prawn Roll (S$5.90), and Hae Signature Fried Prawn (S$6.90 for 6 pieces). These are perfect for passing around to share among your family and friends!
