    Prawn mee & Laksa at Restaurant O&S

    Restaurant O&S must be the most popular kopitiam at Taman Paramount/Seapark area (not to be confused with Taman Sea), and for one very simple reason – the place is filled with awesome hawker foods!

    I’ve been here for so many occasions I mistakenly thought it was already covered on the blog, but it’s never too late I guess.

    The restaurant is opened for breakfast, lunch, and actually dinner too (with limited stalls operating, a siu chau for example). Breakfast/lunch on weekends is an affair not for the faint hearted, the place is absolutely packed, and you often have to share the same table with strangers ala HK style. It also goes without saying that securing a parking space isn’t a trivial matter around this area.

    Then again, if there’s good food, that’s a small price to pay isn’t it?

    The prawn mee at O&S is arguably the most famous dishes in this kopitiam. The stall here is operated by real Penangites (I always test their Hokkien) and offers both normal prawn mee soup, and loh mee (Penang style) soup. You can also opt for extra ingredients such as bigger prawns, pork ribs, and intestines.

    A normal bowl goes for RM 4.50 and the soup really does pack a punch with that sweet prawn taste, on par with Yon Lee, TTDI, one of my favorite prawn mee places, with extra ingredients the price can go up to RM 7.50 or more but ohh soo tasty!

    Another thing that I always order at O&S is the Penang style chee cheong fun. The difference between this and HK chee cheong fun is that the Penang version comes with just the chee cheong fun, with har kou (prawn paste), dark sauce, chily, sesame seeds, and fried shallots. Less than RM 2 for a small plate, very addictive. There isn’t very many places you can find this.

    Then there’s the asam laksa that is sworn by so many. Haze loved it and claimed that it tastes the same as her favorite Cheras pasar malam version. I tasted it a bit and it was actually quite good! Again, plenty of har kou too, and all the proper ingredients you’ll find in a bowl of Penang laksa like banana flower, cucumber, onion, and a big chunk of fish.

      This is one of my favorite coffee shops. I have been there a few times. Most of the food I tried were good. I rememebered the chicken rice stall started business during breakfast hours. They have good jemput pisang. At nite, they have Hokkien mee. It was delicious :smile:

    12. J2Kfm says:

      and I went allllll thhhhhheee waaaaaayyy for the CCF. Only to realize that the shop was closed. Ended up at Char Siew Zhai instead.

    13. Fui says:

      The nite time dai chow changed to another person already… the old “operator” shifted to the shop nearby Shell, SeaPark, and the new dai chow that rented this place doesn’t do a decent dai chow anymore! :P

    14. Ford_GT says:

      Chee cheong fun is awesome, btw….I miss out beef noodles trip in lot 10 near BBP last weekend. Shit.

    15. Lane says:

      I love the assam laksa, prawn mee, chee cheong fun, yong tou fu, nyonya kuih here.
      For chicken rice, it is so so for me.

    16. DC says:

      Ask the aunty to make curry+laksa soup with chicken, really taste and one of a kind. drooling just thinking about it.

    17. [...] prawn mee (hokkien mee in Penang), laksa, and Penang style prawn paste chee cheong fun are all pretty famous [...]

    18. [...] Chee cheong fun Penang style is always bare, and served with shrimp paste, sweet sauce, chili paste, and sesame seeds, and sometimes with a bit of fried shallots. I like it quite a bit more than the HK version with prawns or char siu. If you need to find one of these in PJ, look no further than O&S in Paramount Garden. [...]
