Hard to find a good Penang version here in Sg.
I think the secret lies in the chilli paste mixed into the soup.

the best so far i’ve tasted is from an eatery in penang that serves the broth like lobster bisque. not with lobster but prawns, and most likely use the same lobster bisque technique. less spicy.

I don't like the Penang version. The broth is so spicy, it drowns out the taste of the pork bone/ prawn head combination. I rather eat it with out the chilli paste in it and dip the ingredients in the cut chill/soya sauce to get the chilli kick separately.

this is also a very impt must have ingredient to enhance the soup flavour, that fragrant oomph

The best cure for low IQ.

I dunno about that. Look at this chinese contraceptive method. I wouldn't want to try.

if I am not wrong there are 4 prawn noodle in old airport, whitley, Albert, kallang Cantonese live prawn noodle and another one at the far end which also sell sea hum.
Kallang Cantonese also got good rating of 41/2 star, the stall only open during lunch and late in the afternoon for dinner.

there are some eateries that serve their penang prawn mee with chili padi sambal sauce in the broth. those are sextremely spicy. burns my tongue. one such place is layang layang in milpitas. it’s run by a penang woman. and i keep telling her it’s too spicy. the better penang prawn mee doesn’t use chili padi in the sambal broth. it uses belachan and prawn head and shell broth with toned down chili sauce - i.e. broth is prepared by frying prawn heads and shells with belachan first then adding pork bone stock. shallots and garlic are deep fried separately and used as garnish rather than part of the broth. and sambal is served on the side. many shotcut this laborious longwinded method by “cheating” with chili padi sambal (as paste for the broth) which already contains belachan, garlic, shallots.

Bro, in malaysia, the broth is always spicy. don't compare with your north american standards lah

Almost impossible to find. Must go to Malaysia. Its like finding Klang Bak Kut Teh in singapore. Almost impossible.

i think pricing of this humble prawn noodles has gone wild with the use of big head prawns. charging $10 for simple hawker fare is crazy. i'm more than satisfied if small prawns were used and i pay $4 or $5 max per bowl. the prawn broth is the key component.

I pay $10 even $12 at Jalan Sultan prawn mee for the big prawns. There is a difference between the small and large prawns, the taste is totally different and worth it. If Jalan Sultan introduce Lobster in their prawn mee, I will buy it too.
