Despite the slightly uncomfortable ambiance, we found this a valuable find. One of our favourite spots, for authentic Penang style prawn mee
This food truck is known locally to serve one of the most authentic Penang Prawn Mee and Assam Laksa for the past 40 years. They're iconically located right at the corner of the Sea Park Market and people are just coming non stop to order their food. We've even added some extra pork ribs and an egg to go with our prawn mee!
Verdict On a positive note we enjoyed the Prawn Mee here. It’s certainly one of the most authentic Penang-style Prawn Mee you can find in the Klang Valley. While the topping isn’t sufficient, you may opt to add extra prawns for an extra RM2. It is worth mentioning that Aik Prawn Mee also sells Assam Laksa which is highly raved among customers.
The asam laksa may seem like it came without the shrimp paste aka har gou, but in fact it was already mixed with the laksa. The asam laksa was sourish and savoury. It was minty with the mint leaves. It came with a few pieces of sardine fish. I personally prefer it a bit more spicy, but overall it was good.
A sip of the soup was more than enough for me to understand their popularity. It’s really good! Unlike Lim Mee Yoke’s, Aik’s prawn mee soup is properly strained to have a clean taste. Best of all, it’s not artificially sweetened and the chili paste really has potent kick. I was sweating furiously at the end of the meal.
As for the Hokkien mee, I really liked it a lot. All the usual ingredients and the slightly larger than usual prawns in a soup base that has the right prawn taste to it. Very proper and very delicious, I love it. This would be the 3rd Hokkien mee place around the area that I approve. The other two being Yon Lee at TTDI and the stall at Kampung Chempaka.
