For many prawn mee and loh mee fans out there who used to frequent Choon prawn mee stall at O&S, here’s their new location just a few shops down the road.
Choon Prawn Mee at the new location (same row as O&S)
Yeap, the stall at O&S is now taken over by another operator (reportedly not nearly as delicious), so if you want to get the familiar taste, here’s where you have to go. The new place is air conditioned, slightly more expensive, and much more comfortable compared to O&S.
Additionally, opening hours are longer as well.
Penang style lor mee, pork intestines extra
In addition to prawn mee and loh mee (starting from RM 6.50) with all sorts of extra ingredients such as extra prawns, intestine, pig tail, ribs, and squid, the shop also offers other dishes such as kuih teow th’ng (yet to try), toast, nasi lemak, chee cheong fun, and so forth.
well satisfied with my breakfast of lor mee
For my visit, I went for my favorite – Penang loh mee.
For those who aren’t familiar with Penang version of lor mee, it is pretty similar to prawn mee, but in addition to prawn, bean sprout, fried shallot, and sliced pork, there’s usually half a hard boiled egg, minced garlic sauce, and of course, those thick startchy broth.
The version here is as good as any, and the extra RM 2 I paid for those intestine was well worth it. Now I feel like I want to have a bowl with all the extras!

KY, must see and taste food of Malaysia and Singapore. Noodle dishs so different from I had in San Francisco.
Vickie: yah, you’ll be surprised with the variety here!
Looks good!
Ken: is pretty decent for sure
That looks like lor mee with the extra-thick gravy. Maybe this is a different version from the hay mee I am more familiar with? No matter, as long as it is nice, I’m in. Have you tried MyKuali’s (the Penang white curry people)? Saw somebody praising it to the skies on Facebook. Can’t wait for it to reach our eastern shores…
hahaha this uncle is myKuali’s number 1 super duper prefered customer, they send him one container load of samples to try first
immature: wat
suituapui: ya, the Penang version is different from the central Malaysia version. 😀
wah so thick and gooey, but why this prawn mee so dark wan? shrimp paste?
immature: it’s not shrimp paste but thick gravy made from starch instead.
I don’t think I’m keen on adding in the pork intestines…
The Yum List: haha you can add big prawns tho!
How’s the prawn mee, since I’m not fan of lor mee 😛
Choi Yen: prawn mee is good!
