Food Porn: Malaysian Prawn Noodles
February 22nd, 2008 | Food Porn, Malaysian Food, Penang Food | 17 Comments
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.

The prawns look absolutely scrumptious!

Wah, this one really ‘gar liew’… I’ve never seen such luscious servings in Malaysia, I can tell ya that! *drools*
seriously, hokkien mee has never looked so glamarous or so delicious!!! i’m not really a big fan of hokkien mee…but looking at this just makes me wanna go to “3rd street” tonite and grab a bowl!! :)
wow.. a lot of “liew”!!!
that’s what I want my bowl of prawn noodle to be! ;)
You sure like your prawns, dontcha? Hehe. Great pics…makes me wanna go out and tar pau some prawn mee now!
delicious. the more spicy the better.
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 !)
Wow, this prawn noodle soup or we KL people will call hei mee/har mee, is packed full of ingredients! :)
Ur prawn really a big one!!!
yours is really triple kar lew! goodness, i wanna a bowl of that! so glad i’m going PG next month..
Wah lau! Can faint looking at that bowl of prawn mee with so much liew!
My sliver is dropping out now!!!
wow, that’s really a lot of “liao”, I can imagine how delicious it must be.. slurp!
aiyoh, beh tahan.
Drooling already!!
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.
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?
