It’s safe to say one of the Penang delicacies that Penangite miss most from home is Prawn Mee. Lucky for those who stay nearby Seapark, there is one Prawn Mee truck that sell incredibly delicious prawn mee which comes really close to what’s found in the alleys of  Penang’s.

Do a quick Google search on where to get Penang styled prawn mee in Petaling Jaya and chances are Aik Prawn Mee will be first in your search result.

Located outside of the Sea Park wet market, Aik Prawn Mee was filled with customers even during non lunch hours. Despite the large crowd we never had any problems with the service. The friendly uncle who makes the Prawn Mee dishes was super fast and efficient.  Our Prawn Mee was sent to our table within 5 minutes of ordering.

A bowl of Prawn Mee (RM6.50) here comes with fried onions, prawns, kangkung, pork slices, and bean sprouts. We prefer our prawn mee with yellow noodle and vermicelli as both combination gave a good texture in our opinion.

Upon first sip of the broth, it was sweet and packed with strong prawn flavours. The dish was not spicy at all despite mixing it with the chilli given. As for the ingredients, we thought it were quite less especially with a price tag of RM6.50, the noodles occupied almost three-quarter of the dish.

Verdict

On a positive note we enjoyed the Prawn Mee here. It’s certainly one of the most authentic Penang-style Prawn Mee you can find in the Klang Valley. While the topping isn’t sufficient, you may opt to add extra prawns for an extra RM2. It is worth mentioning that Aik Prawn Mee also sells Assam Laksa which is highly raved among customers.

Dining here could get a little humid, hence feel free to order some drinks or Ice Kacang to beat the afternoon heat. Beware of the price, as a simple Limau Ice cost RM2.50 and a bowl of Ice Kacang cost a whopping RM5.

Operating daily from the break of dawn, O&S is like a mini Penang hawker center with some of the best Penang street foods. Their Assam Laksa however, stands out. With an abundance of ingredients such as shredded mackerel fish, sliced pineapples, onions, cucumbers and mint leaves, one should never give their Assam Laksa a miss.

Located opposite of The Starling mall, Sue’s Kitchen is a rather pleasant kopitiam – cosy, clean and well spread out. While this eatery serves up a variety of local favourites, Assam Laksa is among the MUST TRY. With no oil and fat added you don’t have to feel sinful when indulging into Penang’s finest dish. It taste VERY similar to what we’ve tasted in the streets of Penang, savoury and delicious. It’s also worth mentioning that all dishes are prepared by hand and made with love.

Opened from 12PM to 5PM, the owners operate their business opposite Seapark Taman Paramount’s market from a food truck. Many Penangites say this is their go to place whenever they crave a taste of home. While the authentic homemade fish broth is rich and tangy, toppings is lesser than expected.

Decanter Restaurant @ Section 17 (RM9)

While Decanter serves Asian and European dishes, many come here just for the Assam Laksa as it’s regarded as “the best in town”. Served with shredded fish and a decent amount of toppings infused in a spicy and sour fish broth. While portion size is decent and price is reasonable due to the air-conditioning and calming ambience, there have been many complaints in regards to the service quality. So be prepared to wait 45 minutes for a dish that’s probably never going to come.

Ah Cheng Laksa @ eCurve, Sunway Pyramid, Paradigm Mall and More

The most popular eatery on this list, Ah Cheng Laksa has made a reputation on serving delicious Assam Laksa with numerous shopping malls. It’s very rare you find anyone saying something bad about Ah Cheng Laksa because they are so good. If you’re dining here, do expect thick fish broth, abundance of pineapple, cucumber, onions mint leaves and big slices of fish. Despite being a commercialise brand, Ah Cheng Laksa’s Assam Laksa is one of the most authentic and delicious Assam Laksa in the Klang Valley.
