Best Prawn Mee in Kota Kinabalu

Written by Updated ago

It is always a debate when it comes to which eatery would serve the best prawn noodles in town and as much as one would concede to such question, this one-million dollar dispute would never be satisfied. With one after another joints sprouting out, Penang's number one prawn mee is definitely loved by many of which, without a doubt explains the cause as to why folks in Kota Kinabalu demand for more places to come up with one and they are not to be blamed - in other words, who would not want to enjoy one of the best noodle dishes in existence especially in the heart of Kota Kinabalu ?

    Kedai Kopi Memang

    Tucked in the middle of Menggatal Plaza, Kedai Kopi Memang has proven its eligibility to be the crowd’s favourite hot spot owing to the fact that the place is always filled with people.

Its red-looking broth seems to send of a rather pleasing taste, and devilishly lure its first-timer for a second trip.

    Menggatal Plaza is the place for some morning meals, so do head down there early

    Packed after 6pm other than that, perfect time for the lots to come.

    One of the many favourites of patrons for the past uncounted years is Helang Emas’s prawn mee that has been titled the best prawn mee in the area. Inarguably a good prawn mee, apparently folks dig the idea of noodles being coated in thick prawn flavour bearing rich scent which basically can be smelled walks away from a single bowl. What more is the fact that almost all condiments are deep fried beforehand from pork to seafood – not for the calorie counters out there but definitely made for the ones who just want to enjoy a really good bowl of noodle.

    Evidently, many seem to fancy Kedai Kopi Wong Kee whenever they are around the area especially on digging some of the freshest seafood noodles out there. Tucked somewhere in Kolombong, this noodle place bear its curry mee and prawn mee as their prize-winners. Not exactly a complete experience for first-timers without tasting a single bowl of Penang prawn mee, hence heading down to Wong Kee would hit the spot to get some.

    Bring a friend along to try their curry mee as well.

    Wisma Merdeka happens to house a really decent prawn mee stall that is famous among the crowds manned by Ah Lim Penang Mee Udang. A little off than the typical thickened prawn broth that is loved by many, as a matter of fact this stall prefers a much clear soup to make a much obvious noodles and prawns to its eater and not to mention the generosity of Ah Lim in providing a wealthy set of bowls packed with noodles.

    Ask for more prawns as an add-on.
