Har MeeHar Mee (27 January 2012)


Har Mee, or Prawn Noodle, is a spicy noodle dish that is similar to Penang-style Hokkien Mee. The broth base is made by boiling prawns, pork ribs, dried prawns. Some recipes call for the blending of prawn shells to make the broth.

Unlike Penang Hokkien Mee, which is often garnished with water convolvolus (kangkung), Har Mee is usually served by spare ribs or even tiger prawns. There is however no clear demarcation as to what constitutes Penang Hokkien Mee and what constitutes Har Mee.

What makes good Har Mee is of course the broth, or soup. Although spicy, good Har Mee soup has a sweetness that comes from the prawn shells. It is not a health food, to be sure, but it sure it tasty. Presently, my favourite Har Mee stall is Ah Soon Kor Har Mee at Sin Kim Sun Coffee Centre, Macalister Road.


As Har Mee is a subset of Hokkien Mee, I put them together in a single map.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
