This restaurant has operating for more than half of the century and their signature prawn noodle is the reason that they can stand till today. The prawn noodle here is different than those in KL as they used the Loh Mee method to cook it. There are large freshwater prawns added into cooking of the noodle which is making the soup full of the prawn essence. They also allow you to choose the number of prawns in your noodle. Prawn lovers, are you being attracted by this?

2. Restaurant Kah Heong Pao

The Char Siew Pao and Vegetable Pao are making the restaurant to be continuously famous throughout all kinds of different media. The owner starts making the Pao at 5 in the morning and the process takes up to 3 to 4 hours. That’s a lot of effort! Since it is handmade, the outer layer of the Pao may not seem attractive but the taste is really soft and the fillings are juicy and less oily!

3. Restaurant Sinki

The signature food of Sinki is their Deep Fried Fish with Chili Gravy and Deep Fried Fresh River Prawns which is created by the owner of the shop. For the Deep Fried Fish, you can choose the fish you want, either grouper fish or the red snapper fish. The prawns are also something very attractive as the prawns are thick and juicy!
