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 ?

    Ah Lim Penang Mee Udang @ Kopi TiamNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    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. 

    Tips

    Ask for more prawns as an add-on.

    Things to expect

    A big portion of prawn mee.

    Best with

    Anything heavy would not be a problem considering the prawn mee gives off a light taste.

    Price

    RM6.00

    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. Not a hard guess on the exact reason but the place’s prawn noodle without a doubt contributed to some. Its red-looking broth seems to send of a rather pleasing taste, and devilishly lure its first-timer for a second trip. 

    Tips

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

    Things to expect

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

    Best with

    Any other side dishes this place offers considering that they have plenty.

    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.

    Take a friend with to try their other type of specialty
