Vannamei Prawns are also known as the white leg shrimps. More information can be found here:

So we have eaten these two packs of frozen prawns and can do a comparison.
The normal price without discount of the tiger prawns is MYR 1 higher than the Vannamei Prawns.
He wanted to drink peppery stomach soup so I used grab hotdeals to buy it from Chok Kar Chong eatery after 1 pm for his dinner. He says the Chicken is tasty. I didn't eat it because I didn't eat dinner.
The white Vannamei Prawns are bouncy and the meat is finer than the tiger prawns. The tiger prawns meat is firm and felt more muscular. Both he and I preferred the tiger prawns because they taste naturally sweeter and we don't prefer bouncy texture.
I want to have peppery stomach soup too especially on a cold rainy day. :D
