Penang
is the food capital in Malaysia. Some may not agree with this fact (because Malaysia in itself is a food capital) but when it comes to sampling the best of local and street
food, Penang is the place that everyone goes to. In the spirit of good food in
Penang, it is a continuous effort to bring the recipes out of the island so
that all could enjoy what Penang has to offer. One such restaurant is Choon
Prawn Mee that first started serving its customers in a stall in a food court.
Since then, the Penang-ite owner decided to revamp to a bigger joint that could
entertain their ever growing customers.
Most famous for their
Penang Prawn Mee and Penang Lor Mee, Choon Prawn Mee strives to serve the authentic
Penang and Penang Nyonya cuisine in Klang Valley. Dig into their thick and
sweet broth of Prawn Mee and you will taste the Penang-ness of the dish, and be
reminded of the internationally recognised equivalent in Penang. Lor Mee on the
other hand is a simple dish of noodles dunked in a dark, starchy broth served with
a multitude of ingredients including hardboiled egg, prawn, sliced pork, bean
sprouts, etc. Customers could choose to
add extras to an already fabulous meal, like intestines, extra prawns, pig tails,
ribs, and squids, and make the whole experience a lot better. The restaurant
also offers other Penang delicacies like Penang Chee Cheong Fun, Koay Teow Th’ng,
Toasts, Nasi Lemak, as well as a bunch of homemade desserts. Satisfying your Penang
cravings affordably at Choon Prawn Mee is enough until your next trip up north.
