Food Porn: Malaysian Prawn Noodles (Again!)

Food Porn: Malaysian Prawn Noodles (Click the above to view 6 pictures. Best viewed with Internet Explorer 7.)
I have written about this famed street food/hawker food dish (known locally as Penang Hokkien Mee) a couple of times; you can check out my previous entries here and here.

This time I added extra toppings on my prawn noodles with fresh water prawns. In Malaysia, we call this "加料"/"Gar Liew"/"Keh Liao"--which means you pay extra for more toppings...

This prawn noodles dish is the bestest hawker food dish EVER! The satisfaction of slurping down a bowl of this piping hot and prawnylicious noodles is simply beyond my English vocabulary, so I will leave you with this food porn of Malaysian prawn noodles.

always wondered why the hokkian shops in Pg never put the whole freshwaterbig head prawns into their mee version as std( except the eggs in mcalister )unlike the Malays doing theirs with their mee udang galah. Only in KL or so ( tg tualang )got this sang har meen/tomyam with the big heads.

but we have always thoz that the big head is not so tasty generally unless the cook is good ( esp only from Pg one issit LOL !)

After reading your previous post on Prawn Mee a while ago, I started accumulating prawns shell as I am tempted to try it out at home. Still a long way to go as I seldom take prawns at home.

 

Blogger Precious Pea said ... (7:59 PM) : 

Got your message! Thanks! Will speed up my 'saving' process. How much shell do i need to save to come out with 2 bowl of soup?
