Prawn Mee - Setapak Prawn Mee - Jalan Pahang
Posted by Fidel Gastro under Chinese, Noodles, Kuala Lumpur
I am a big fan of prawn mee. Previously I used to think that Mee Yoke Lim, which is available all over PJ is the best, but that was until I tasted the Taman Paramount prawn mee. Eager to find something even better, I have been searching high and low for prawn mee specialists.
I found one that I thought had potential to beat Paramount. It is located along Jalan Pahang, directly opposite this big weird shopping complex that houses a weird cinema and a weird supermarket. It is on the side of the road that is heading towards Bulatan Pahang. There were quite a few prawn mee stalls there, so I had to choose carefully.
You will first have to order at the stall located outside the shop, and then go into the shop and take a seat. If I am not mistaken the shop is air-conditioned.
The food doesn’t take long to arrive. I ordered a large prawn mee with pork ribs, because I am greedy. The food actually looked quite presentable, and it even came on a porcelain bowl, so as to not cause me cancer. I thought that was very kind of them.
The food tasted reasonably good. It was slightly different from most other prawn mees that I have eaten. The soup had more of a seafood taste, and thus making it taste more authentic. The noodles tasted like any other noodles. But the soup was quite unique.
My lunch partner ordered a small bowl, and I was quite surprised by how small it was. I think I would need 3 of those to fill up.
All in all, it was a pretty decent bowl of prawn mee, and is quite nice especially if you feel like having something different. Please bear in mind that I am not a big seafood person, so maybe those who can’t live without seafood will like it more than I did. But I think a 7/10 will be fair. The whole meal came up to around RM12 for the 2 bowls above with 2 drinks.
