Kenneth, Horny, Kerol, and I were looking for something interesting for dinner the other day and Kenneth mentioned about the excellent fresh prawn noodle (生虾面) at Restaurant Green View that was just a stone’s throw away from the SS2 mamak area, a place we frequent quite abit. With no other suggestions from the fellow noobs, we decided to head there without thinking twice about the price of the offering.
Turns out, Restaurant Green View is quite a high class place with proper servers, nice red table cloths, and diners that commute in luxury cars. Looking at other tables, we noticed that most orders huge crabs (looks really yummy), roasted suckling pig, and other interesting traditional Chinese dishes. Looks expensive…
really awesome fresh prawn noodle, check out the huge prawn!
Since we were already being seated and all, we ordered up the fresh prawn noodle for 4 and a plate of vege to go with it. I believe we were the cheapest customers that night, not that there’s anything wrong with that..
Turns out, the fresh prawn noodle was really excellent. Texture of the noodle is just right, the taste of the huge prawn (one for each serving) spread over the paste and leave a distinct seafood sweetness in every bite. Each prawn is almost as big as my palm, almost a mini lobster. I believe the prawn is the freshwater “big head” variety, which carries alot of eggs just right under the head, very juicy.
we practically cleaned the plates
When the bill came, that plate of fresh prawn noodle was RM 56.00, or RM 14 per serving. Judging from the size of the prawn, and the overall awesome taste, I wouldn’t call it expensive. It was really worth it. Maybe next time we can try the jumbo crab… I think they’re priced at RM 40 per KG, but 1 kg might be only 1 crab.. we’ll see.
Here’s the map to Restaurant Green View

It’s 58 not 56. But I am sure RM2 is not big deal to you

They also have the “Soon Hock” from the tank, an excellent place for seafood but prices tend to be very steep, (I only go there under company expense)

YAH BP rebranded already.
BTW 40 is cheap? LOLOL
Near my place its 18RM per KG and very good.
KY: I never said RM 40 per KG is cheap, in fact, I never mention anything being cheap there at all.
I do know about the RM 18 per KG near your place, afterall I went there with you a lot of times.
However, you have to see their offering here to appreciate the difference. The crab here is like 3 times bigger.

They also do a pretty decent fried tanghoon there so if you don’t want to eat the crabs you can order the noodles only.
