This is a very simple and tasty looking dish. You could garnish with whatever you liked to make it a simple weeknight meal or something more special.
Amazing!Who doesn’t like prawns, Bee I liked “Virtual appetite” and this dish Little Inbox is meant to be shared! Thanks for sharing =)
My mouth is watering just reading the recipe! I can’t wait to try this! My prediction? Squirrel will DEVOUR this.
Those prawns look mouth-watering. What a great recipe!
This noodle dish looks very refreshing with its tomato based broth and lettuce as garnish. Is calamansi commonly used in Malaysia?
The clear fact is the more my eyes follows your texts and photos, the more I like Malaysian food!
Another dish that I miss a lot. Love all the prawns there…my favourite.
Hi Bee, thanks for the invitation. :)
It’s my pleasure to discover how to cook the Malay Mee Udang. I hope you’ll try out the recipe soon. And of course, I hope you’ll like it too! :)
Looks absolutely delicious, Little Inbox! It’s making me drool!
Oooh, oooh, oooh, prawns look very juicy and delish. Love crispy shallot garnish. My mom made a very similar dish with big head prawns, so it’s very nostalgic. Thanks to both for promoting scrumptious Malaysian dishes.
Is the taste closer to Mee Rebus, just that the gravy looks thinner in Mee Udang and there is Udang? ;p
Mee Rebus uses sweet potato as the gravy. I think the taste is closer to mee jawa, but without certain toppings.
Those prawns and the crispy shallots look drool-worthy!
Mmmmmm, nice mee udang, there are a few famous shop in my hometown near Sg Dua, Butterworth!
Mouth-watering looking dish! It reminds me that it’s time to book an air ticket back home now. LOL!
Wow. Thanks for the recipe. My wife is Asian and I know that she misses Asian food. So, tonight i will take this recipe into fruition! LOL. THanks for sharing this one.
It really looks great! What is the name of the yellow noodles and in case that calamansi limes are not available can I use the regular limes?
Thank you!!
The yellow noodles are marketed as Taiwanese noodles, they are available fresh in Asian stores. Yes, you can use regular limes.
Is this the same food with Mee Rebus India?
Not sure what is mee rebus India.
May I know what kind of Chili paste used in this recipe?
