Sambal Heh Bee (23 April 2013)
Sambal Heh Bee (Traditioonal Chinese: 參巴蝦米, Simplified Chinese: 参巴虾米) is a Penang dish of dried prawns in sambal. The dried prawns are pounded until they are in small pieces. Sambal Heh Bee is very tasty when taken with white rice or bread. It is often used as a filling for paus.

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.
