Mee Udang Stalls in Penang

Mee Udang (11 December 2010)


Mee Udang is a dish of prawn noodles. This is primarily a Malay dish similar to the Jawa Mee sold by Chinese hawkers. Lately however, there are a number of Chinese hawkers who have begun to sell the Malay-style Mee Udang. Teluk Kumbar is the most famous place in Penang for mee udang, so much so that the name Teluk Kumbar Mee Udang is appearing in many hawker centres throughout Penang.

Although translated as Prawn Noodle, Mee Udang should not be mistaken for the Chinese Prawn Noodle, which in Penang is popularly known as Hokkien Mee. The Malay-style Mee Udang has a tomato-based gravy. Ingredients include egg noodle (mee), rice noodle (bihun), prawn, boiled egg, sliced green chili pepper, and some times squid, and topped with a slice of lime.

Teluk Kumbar, on the southwest corner of Penang, is the most popular place for Mee Udang. Many hawker stalls around Penang Island advertise their Mee Udang as "Teluk Kumbar Mee Udang" for obvious reasons. You can usually order the noodle dish with a soup base (rebus) or fried (goreng).

If you go to Teluk Kumbar itself, you will find a number of Mee Udang stalls. My own favourite is Ayu Mee Udang, which is located away from the seaside. I like it to the stalls beside the sea because it is cleaner and there are fewer flies (almost, I can say, no flies) at the stall. I don't quite enjoy eating my meal while having to fan away flies, so Mee Udang Cantik is my choice.


Where to enjoy Mee Udang? I've created the food map to help you locate the stalls that I've come across. Each stall is represented by a numbered pin on the map corresponding to the list of stalls below.

My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
