Simply the Best

Happy Near Year to all of you! I still have a few more posts to go about the food I ate in Penang.

The best broth for Prawn Mee

Penang Loh Mee - with pickled chopped garlic

Cham Loh - Prawn Mee mixed with Loh Mee

This eatery is a branch of Green House Prawn Mee and is located opposite Chew Thean Yeang Aquarium at Burma Road

Price List


A branch of Penang Famous Green House Prawn Mee but taste better than the prawn mee at HQ

  1. Prawn mee with siew yok? It is something new to me cos we don't have that in SG and the siew yok looks good

    1. The siew yok is added on to the prawn mee at an additional price. By default they do not put siew yok in with the prawn mee.

  3. I want prawn mee and I also want the Cham loh! But no thank you to the raw garlic.

    1. The raw garlic has been soaked in vinegar (pickled) so the garlic taste is not that strong. It enhances the taste of the loh mee.

  4. Strange. They never put a blob of heh koh (prawn paste) on your spoon for the hokkien mee (which you call prawn mee). Not that I'm complaining, but I don't remember any hawkers in Penang that would exhibit such respect to customer preferences. In my experience, they would at best ignore you and at worst tell you to f*** off if you request the heh kok to be omitted or served on the side... :|

    1. Eh, this is Hokkien mee aka prawn mee wor, got give heh koh meh? I thought only assam laksa that they give heh koh on the spoon.

      If you like to eat hokkien mee, you must eat at this branch, the broth is very tasty, full of prawn taste and you can add as much siew yok into the mee as you like.

    2. Hokkien mee, some places give sambal, some give heh koh. If laksa and loh mee then 100% heh koh... Anyhow your spoon will come with something. :|

    3. Please blog about the places that give heh koh with hokkien mee with photos if you encounter them, ok? Curious to know which places.

  5. Happy New Year, 2016, to you and your loved ones, cheers! Not a fan of these but will eat. Penang people give kay kor with everything, even chee cheong fan, steamed yam cake...their trade mark.

    1. No lah. So far They don't give hay kor in hokkien prawn mee. Both times I eat prawn mee there is no hay kor.

    2. I got! At two places, Penang Road, one nice - the other not really...

    3. I have read your post. Those are chili sambal in the spoons for both bowls of hokkien prawn mee in your photos above, not prawn/shrimp paste (hay kor). Hay Kor is black and looks smooth, not lumpy.

    1. This is a branch of Green House and is better than the HQ. You must try this the next time you are in Penang.
