Noodles in tomato sauce topped with sizeable fresh shrimp in yellow sauce. At first glance, it appears to be enticing and straightforward to make at home.
My favorite Malaysian food blog, Eating Pleasure, has been around for a long time. Eating Pleasure has some of the most delicious food photography I’ve ever seen, and it never ceases to make me hungry just looking at it.
Eating Pleasure, a wedding photographer’s blog is a virtual treat for me when I miss my favorite dishes from home.
Using the freshest catch from the sea, Malay hawkers at their “warung” (little cafe) by the coast of Penang sell mee udang or Malay prawn noodles. Penang Hokkien Mee, or Chinese prawn noodles, is very distinct from Mee Udang, or prawn noodles. Eating Pleasure would like to extend its warmest greeting to you!
When Rasa Malaysia emailed me to write a guest article, I was surprised. Gratitude fills my heart for this incredible chance. Rasa Malaysia, a famous Malaysian cuisine blog, has invited me to submit a guest post.
When it came to what Penang food I should bring to the table, we came up with a list. This is Mee Udang, then. Penang is well-known for its Mee Udang, or Malay Prawn Noodle. There are many Malay hawker booths near the coast where fresh prawns are available for purchase…
You can get to the beach in a matter of minutes from my home. Buying fresh sea prawns from a fisherman at a modest price is possible. That provides me the opportunity to share my home-cooked Mee Udang with you all.
It’s hard not to like it with prawns in tomato gravy on top of yellow noodles.
