"I don’t eat prawn mee everywhere — only at selected places. This stall is one of my top picks because the broth is rich and flavorful, the prawns are always fresh, and the chili sambal adds the perfect kick with the garlic sauce. The taste here really stands out compared to others I’ve tried. Definitely worth coming back for"

"Old-School Hokkien Mee That Hits the Spot This Hokkien Mee tastes just like how I remember it from childhood. The soup is full of prawn flavor—sweet, strong, and super tasty. The chicken feet are a must-have, soft and full of flavor. Every bite brings back memories. If you love classic, prawn-y Hokkien Mee, this one won’t disappoint."

"The Penang Hokkien Mee or some called it Prawn Mee is pretty nice and affordable. The small bowl is RM3.80 while the large is RM4.40. The soup is nice and tasty, slightly spicy even without added sambal. I wanted to have the chai kueh too but then they are on vacation till Saturday so I will go try the chai kueh again next week. Parking is at curbside"
