My Personal Opinion The two more successful things here were probably the broth and the sambal. The prawn mee, though decent by many's standards (judging by the mostly good reviews on Google and their Facebook page), just didn't endear itself to me on a personal level. I think the failure of the ingredients (of prawns, fried shallots, hard-boiled egg and pork lard crisps) and toppings (of siew yuk and mantis prawn) spoiled my overall experience of this prawn mee and ultimately made it one that I don't think I'd be revisiting. In the end, I'm afraid this prawn mee will not make it to my list of favourite prawn mee to have. I have a lot more other better (traditional) prawn mee options at my disposal...and one that comes with more prawns and cheaper prices too. I can have two big bowls, with big prawns, for the price of one here...and with change to spare! ;P
I heard about this new Prawn Noodle Eatery from Penang in OUG so I went to have a try. Original Prawn Noodle
The Original, 6.90 ringgit. I decided on The Original because I’ve already had a chicken dish, I did not want to add on more meat. It was goood ! Spicy, packed with flavors, soooo good! I was literally sweating halfway through because it was spicy and it does not hit you right on. What it does is that the more spoonful of the soup/gravy you take in, the more spicier it starts getting. It hits you late and by then , your forehead is all sweaty, lol. I enjoyed my experience though. Not many eateries serve prawn mee that still gives me a kick and this one right here does. Yumm! The Original comes with a generous amount of mee hoon and yellow mee + bean sprouts + egg + ham + plenty of spicy, flavorful soup. I loved every bit of it. Certainly worth another try.
Takeaway one big portion of noodles with radish Beef stew at MYR 11.50 nett.
Our favourite beef radish stew was sold out so we ordered a bowl of tendon at MYR 11.50 nett to share and I had a bowl of dry noodle without any minced pork at MYR 3.80 nett since I find the minced pork a tad too salty.
Late lunch for two pax - MYR 23.90 nett at Niu Niu, OUG. The noodles cost MYR 9.50 nett each, the iced cham at MYR 2.7 nett and iced barley without sugar at MYR 2.20 nett. It lasted me until breakfast the next day.
Handmade beef balls - very tasty because they put some herbs inside to balance the strong beef taste (2 x MYR 1.5 each so is MYR 3)
The Hakka noodles tasted a bit different from the ones I am used to, with an interesting texture. The Yong Tau Fu is pretty good, minimum 5 pieces. Coffee is average.
