Bukit Bintang·$$$

MYR38.00

Local tiger prawn prepared in omakase style with delicate searing and local seasoning.

Tip: The counter is the best seating to experience omakase — the chef's timing and explanations enhance the meal significantly.

Keramat Wangsa·$

MYR11.00

Standard char kway teow upgraded with generous fresh prawns for more protein.

Tip: The extra prawns justify the upcharge—they're plump and sweet, not the thin frozen kind.

Damansara Uptown·$

MYR10.00

Standard dry-style char kway teow with additional fresh prawn for protein upgrade.

Tip: The extra prawns are worth the upcharge here—they're fresh and the stall handles them well.

Chinatown·$

MYR23.00

Vermicelli noodles in a delicate clam broth infused with prawn stock, topped with fresh clams and prawns.

Tip: This is the Bib Gourmand dish. Come specifically for this. If you only order beef noodles, you miss the reason this stall earned recognition.
